Highmaul coliseum is entirely premades at this point

[smaktat]

Played 7 matches, all 7 were gangbangs. Is anyone experiencing anything differently?

Guessing it's really just luck of the draw as to when you queue. I've seen a few of groups advertising 'sales' for the achievement so not suprised if there's a stack of premades hitting it at the moment. I was lucky enough to get the Last of Us achievement on the weekend queuing solo. Took me about 4 attempts (mind you I'd tried it earlier in the expac without much luck). There were a couple of smallish (4-5 players) guild groups but not like full premades.

I got all my coliseum achievements/items in wod S1/S2, but now when ever i am in trade chat, i see ppl spam selling wins for 8k every 5-10 minutes at all times of the day, it is pretty insane. I don't do coliseum any more, but i can easily believe that 9 out of 10 games are premades.

The last one that drove me up a wall had the instance leader handing out marks on everyone not in his premade.

I would just kill the leader in that case :P even though u still will die, but at least ull take that puss with u

[theostrichsays]

If you can't win but want the title just join the premades yourself. I had a couple guildmates join the ones through the Avengers.

But I do agree that it is nowhere near as enjoyable once premades went from maybe 2 or 3 at the most out of 20-25 to 15 out of 16-20, and I had quit trying for the Mania on my Druid a while back minus one or two random ques.

[Krusza]

I had a pretty funny experience with premades and colliseum.

I got whispered at the beginning by people asking to premade with me, so I agreed. They were 3 other people. If we were the last ones alive we agreed we'd roll for the chest.

So it started, I sat in the corner with all my CDs ready. One of the other 3 died during the fight, so I helped out a bit (not with CDs, though) to get us to the end. It was us 3 left at the end, and we started rolling for the chest. I rolled first, and I rolled low. I then proceeded to pop cooldowns, kill both of them and take the chest. Got unleashed mania too, not bad for the first try.

Moral of the story, fuck everyone over you possibly can in order to win.

lol Leader usually specifically protects that rounds "winner" and really... when it's 20 of us vs 4 of you, GL.

Never said it would be easy lol )) but its worth if can u pool it off. Also for any1 who is trying to complete the achievement, i hear u can use legendary rings + pve set bonuses, so if u guys have access to pve gear, it will def help you out. But bottom point if it is a pre-made group, even if you are glad level player, you will not be able to do much =(. Best bet would be que at an odd hour when a low number of pre-mades are running.

yeh i saw everyone in pvp gear, me in full pve ele shaman, no1 really targeted me like haha ele shaman can't win, i proceeded to get 11 kills, killing the final guy with ring/ascendance/lust/AG/earth ele 20% dr cd/sham rage....yup i literally had every cd still ready to go.

kinda happy kinda sad, was expecting a grind for my FoS/titles/toys something to do something rewarding, then i win first time, oh cool well no pressure that's that done.

Try queueing up for the Coliseum very early in the morning or very late at night. The wait time is longer, but you are less likely to encounter premade groups. That's what worked for me anyway.

Damn what server is this on that it's 8k for achievement?

Haha nice mate, show them what an "underdog" dps class can do, I main Ret, i remb i did the same: i set in a corner, just tagged every1 with judgement/exo then 2 guys were left with me, i popped wings (did not have legendary ring back then) killed them both. People prob thought the same "Oh it is a Ret, he cant even hurt me"

It's an alt I talked to Dorfie sometime during MoP to get into Honestly for the pets and mounts from the Guild achievements, hasn't been played too much recently but is level 100.

Send me PM with ur btag, ill give u 5k to start u off when i am online today afterwork, since i know how much pain it can be to grind gold on an alt.

Dick move bro, dick move

Not really, just being a dick to other dicks trying to premade.

[Runstarr]

Somehow, I didn't encounter any premades by now.
