My suggestion would be to enable friendly fire for both sides on a battleground and give them a set number of lives. That would solve all problems in a battleground. You don’t like some guy sitting there doing nothing well 20 guys guarding the flag keeper all aim with a white damage attack boom he’s gone. Besides it always pissed me off as a warlock if I could dot my own team and the enemy team I could solo the entire other faction, its just ridiculous really.

[...] about individual accomplishments, not team play. Gnomeaggedon touched on this in his recent post There is no “I” in “PvP”, and BBB commented on it during Children’s Week, just to start with — but every time you [...]

The 3 methods to get to 2 tiers will take a little bit of getting used to, but at least it will (finally!) be equal between PvE and PvP. I’m looking forward to the simplification on both sides.

“There’s no I in PvP, but there is one in suicide mission.”

If I have distracted the healers from the EFC while someone else takes him/her down, it was a good death.

[...] Gnomer wrote a great post earlier in the weekend about PvP, quoted one of my old posts where I’d pissed him off, and one of the earliest comments left there was someone pointing out, correctly, that the BBB doesn’t know anything about PvP, but that doesn’t stop me from talking about it.

Yeah I have heard a bit about how as long as two of you are in a group, that = premade, therefore prepare for a premade as opposition.

Interesting that the others allow larger teams.. I could understand if the random only allowed 10, being the smallest BG, but 5 quite simply sucks. I guess Blizz has less control over premade matching in the randoms.

Thanks for checking!

It is always interesting to hear all the rationalizing that goes on after BBB talks out his ass and gets called on it as well.

short story… didn’t pay the bills and has closed up. Gaz has taken up the lead and created the new Mage forums.

I tested this out the other day and I believe you can queue up to the size of the BG for everything except for AV & IOC, which for some stupid reason despite being the biggest ones only let you queue for 5. Which presumably is the limiting factor on only being able to do 5 for a random. YMMV but when I run premades on my server that’s what I run up against. *shrug*

What happened to that magecraft one? Has that been tossed into the wind?
