80 Cap BGs

[altwight]

So are 80cap BGs generally thought to be insta queue and usually always full games? Doing 79 cap and although the queues aren't that long it's hardly ever a fair game.

[Osede]

It just depends on the time. Usually between 3-6mins.

[Arcana]

depends on the BG and holidays usually. its easier to find on the holidays ofc, warsong and arathi (maybe eots) are usually populated, but you'll never get a fair AV these days.

[Tomino]

it still feels like they somehow killed BGs...
late TBC it was silly to have purple sets avaiable with simple AV farm, i agree, but making lv80 rewards just expensive blu trash really took all the utility out.

Bg's feel more like "go play with your epics, slaughtering people" playground more like it. After all, where else can you go besides an ally/horde city and go on a rampage killing people without much thought of durability loss

I tend to do premades as my guild is primarily PvP, or I go in with a group of guildies. Still kinda meh on the pvp sets and the crazy out of hand burst.

They need to revert back to Realm BGs, or atleast make a variation on the cross-server but always make the realm you come from a priority. Would definitely put more competition, community between Horde and Alliance, and definitely revive the old feeling of BGing.

[Correction]

The queues were unbearable before cross-realm BGs were implemented. They'll never go back to the way things were.

[Rivero]

It comes at a cost of totally slaughtering the enjoyment out of PvP. Seeing familiar faces made you enjoy your matches a lot more and it gave you a better idea of who sucked and who was a good player on your server. I personally wish they would return it to the way it was, but that's never going to happen. : /

[Correction]

If you're already on a PvP server there's nothing stopping you from killing the same faces over and over again.

You'll rarely find a close or balanced match with 80 BGs; much of the time one side begins the round with 5-6 more players than the other. The queues aren't as long, but it's such a toss up that it's barely more than an honor/mark farming exercise.
