It's clear that many players would like to see this, with benefits of adding RBGs posted all over the forums.
It also seems it would be possible to implement a somewhat simple system that doesn't require any client modifications..
Are there any reasons against this?
Our Cata and MoP realms had rated BGs and even when these realms had a high population, nobody was doing rated BGs.
There are not even enough players that are interested in 5s even though only a 5man party is required to queue for it.
Rated BG would require 10 players to be able to queue.
I don't see how that would be a active bracket unless there is a soloq option.
Such a shame if that's the case. Some of my best memories of the game are rated BGs and the guild culture they created.
I don't recall 5s ever being a massive point of interest. I'll keep praying for RBGs even if we have to queue all week for them!
