    No more premades?

    Just found this blue post http://blue.mmo-champion.com/topic/2...es-and-addons/

    I guess premades are dead now because Avenabler is going to be useless now, I'll admit I had loads of fun with premades but I'm not upset with the change. I remember facing 40 man premades in AV and IoC and it was really frustrating, but fun if you were in one. Overall I'm quite happy with the change, however I wish blizzard did this ages ago.

    5mans are still possible

    i only used Preform for doing AV blitz and IOC HK farming anyways. Won't miss it too much.

    Thank god. I'm happy about this. Why? I like organized PvP and am finally getting into a regular arena/battleground group, but I hate getting into a random battleground that is filled with a well-geared and completely coordinated team that destroys us because it's impossible for a team that can't communicate efficiently and doesn't know each other to survive, much less win.

    well... glad i finished battlemaster in cataclysm. such an awful change. probably wont do many bgs anymore....

    Meh, a coordinated 5man premade is more than enough to win 10/15man BGs by themselves VS a full pug.

    Why so awful? Cause randoms are supposed to be a fairer playing field, in terms of level of available communication for each side?

    As they said: Wanna play co-ordinated teams, go play RBGs. It's still how it works there. If you wanna just steamroll cause you can't get on an RBG team, but want easy Honor/Conquest... too bad?
    Games are not necessarily "easier" today. You are just a better player.
    It takes more now to impress many gamers than it did 2-5 years ago, because so much has already been seen and done.
    Many players expect to be wow'd with every release of a beloved franchise.
    These are generally NOT the fault of the developers, but the fault of many players over-hyping and/or setting expectations too high.

    because it was fun? and im not just talking about doing like full 15-20 man roflstomp groups. sometimes i have six friends instead of 5 who want to do bgs. and the wow public vent was a pretty awesome community. this change cripples them.

    It's about damn time. AVEnabler should have been labelled as a hack a long time ago. It was causing the ppl that were too scared to do RBGs to crush a full random group.

    Dam kids using an add-on to get an unfair advantage over a group expecting to fight another random group. Not a full premade.

    You're among the few. There are a ton of people that only did AVEnabler because they didn't want to spend the effort getting an RBG group together or because they were simply too scrubby to do RBGs.

    apparently oqueue still works but you have to do a manual countdown queue in vent/mumble. its no longer automated by the leader

    it's kind of ridiculous Blizzard let this blatant CHEATING go on for years without doing anything in the first place.

    next item of the agenda: Clean up the bots. Perma-ban every single one.
