You have ALOT of people on here saying they ARE expecting the game to be better. To remove premading sleaze from the ques. Why WOULDN'T a donation-based server WANT to make people happy?! CASUAL pvp-ers ARE the largest group of the pvp-er player base, and if you think otherwise, YOU are dreaming.
JMSVAN...it's just as boring to be on the WINNING side of a worthless gy-camping match. It's trash either way. Your stats don't prove that wrong...

Well if you are getting rekt in the bg socialize and find people who will do bgs with you or join some pvp guild.
You are trying to overcomplicate simple rules and things just to justify your lack or skills/**** team. Bgs brackets are gear based and and balanced so you cant whine about it.
If you are getting farmed just leave the bg or try changing the odds of the game with your elite skills. Stop being crybaby.

Go to random BG as a Horde, you gonna lose 9/10 BG's, go as ally, you win most of them, also as a Horde, every WGS is against ally primade, most of Sota too, Horde mostly does AV and ISO farm premade, but it's like 50% to end up against Simply gifted or other ally prem too, would love for primade to have it's own bracket against other premades and HK farmers against HK farmers, to let the rest 90% of server to play random BG and be chill, but most premade members are bis donos so yea I think owners of this server want that donor money more than making BG 's normal for the rest of casuals.

All that needs to be done is forced solo-que and fully randomized factions for RANDOM BG queing. So many players coming on the forums trying to explain this to the devs, but somehow they are missing it. If people want to group together it would be so easy for devs to make a rated battlegrounds que. They just don't.

Can someone explain to me how this is even possible?
I’m new on the server and I first created a Horde character on Icecrown. I reached 80-, bought some gear from the AH (around 3500 GS), and queued for RBGs.
In 95% of the games, almost everyone on Horde had around 2000 GS, while all Alliance players were fully geared. I lost 9 out of 10 BGs every single day, so I decided to faction change.
Now I’m on Alliance, and suddenly when I queue for BGs, almost the entire Horde team is from Blackrock and lots are full geared.
Why wasn’t it like this when I was playing Horde?
Why is it that once I joined Alliance, I’m constantly matched against players from Blackrock?
When I was playing Horde there was not a single player from Blackrock, almost all I got were AFK players or very low-geared players on my team.
This is by far the worst PvP experience I’ve had.Edited: January 5, 2026

The staff wants you to play with friends, just like Blizzard did.
You were unlucky.

Nah, your wrong. It's only been the past few years that sleazy premades have been rampant. Before then, gamers used to want a fair fight. Maybe people born in 2000 are just sleazy, cowardly weasels, not sure. But we had honor and sense of fair play back in OG wrath. These changes to the server would be fixing a NEW problem, as all good servers should want to do. If these pathetic vultures -ahem-, excuse me, if these "friends" want to do rated battle grounds together, they can. But they won't. They join groups PURELY to sleazily trash on casuals. So lets make a safe place for casuals (forced solo-que RANDOM BGs) to play, and a place for "friends" to play (RATED BGs). Randoms for randoms, go figure, like BLIZZARD originally intended...
Bottom line, premades make worthless matches for both sides and the players are sick of it, and voices that in the forums. Period.

I don’t think this has anything to do with luck.

Then what?
Do you think some dev added a line of code like "if player = BrajacS (setOnLosingTeam(player))"?

Nooo...sleazy premades making worthless unbalanced matches...how in the world are you missing this?....

And how is getting matched against premades not "You were unlucky"?
Also, how in the world are you missing that Battlegrounds were never meant to be balanced? Does the fact the original game didn't even have the brackets we included not clue you in enough? Or perhaps the one that premades and all that happens here existed in retail too?

It's true that with premades you are likelier to be on the losing side. If you have mercenary mode on (which is the default, and can't be switched off if you play in Blackrock), in a 10v10 battleground where a 5-man premade joins, you are twice as likely to be on the losing side because there are 5 free spots in the winning team and 10 free spots in the losing team.
That being said:
This is just bad luck.

That Chamba guy getting banned in this thread a month and a half ago and then coming back after he was unbanned just to get banned again in the same thread. Very nice.
On average battlegrounds are pretty balanced as far as win/loss ratio. I'd say if you're an exceptional player, especially a healer, then you might have a slightly higher win rate. For sure though you'll have both winning and losing streaks. That can be due to being matched with the same players multiple times in a row. So with losing streaks it's sometimes good to just take a break for the night. It's good for the mental anyway.
