    Has random BG's participation noticeably dropped off from a few months ago?

    since PvP is such a niche of the game i was curious how the dropoff in subscribers has affected it. basically are you waiting longer que times and what, if anything has changed the most in your opinion from a lot of people leaving?

    just wondering how things are these days in terms of every day or every other day random BG'ers...

    If it was actually a significant drop off in subscribers, it might have affected it, but it wasn't so it hasn't.

    Lots of people have the gear they wanted already, so they don't see the point in doing battlegrounds anymore. It's a very shallow way to look at the game.

    15-20% of the EU/NA sub base isn't significant, I guess. Seriously, the % of bots was so high when I quit that you need to factor that in as well.

    I know I haven't bg'ed in awhile. While I love battlegrounds just that now they've become such a drag. Never fails you get put into a BG with a couple bots and/or people who don't know how to do the objectives in the battleground. Last time I did a series of any was AV weekend on my warrior to gear him up. Other than that battlegrounds just become meh. Not any real incentive to do it otherwise I might try to do them again, but can't stand the headache of bots/idiots and not seeing anything in sight to earn.
