Why are EU players forced to play with Russians?

[steveyboy]

Why is this? After all they are doing to the people of the Ukraine basically because they can't get there own way.

I think they should be stopped being able to play with us other EU players as I feel they are in the wrong and I do not want to be associated with these people till they start behaving themselves.

Russia players ≠ Russian leadership.

1. So, we should punish the people for the sins of the leader? Of whom's decisions they have no influence in?

2. "Punishing" Russia by removing their privileges to one single game will accomplish nill.

Russian people = ones who voted leadership into power.

Valyrian said it best, but to add onto it. Russia is part of Europe, therefore, they play on the Europe servers.

i'll trade you the russians for the latin servers. deal?

Russia isn't a democracy; it's still lead by the KGB. They've only mastered being able to disguise themselves.

Putin was elected because he and his associates have been able to manipulate the people's minds into believing in him.

Why are North american players forced to play with Brazillians? I think we got it worse.

Yet here the Russians are, still supporting the government, clearly as you put it, too stupid to see any different.

Not enough Latin servers and players.

And how exactly is Ukraine/Russia conflict related to WoW? Or should we start discriminating and separating Russian players just because they are a part of that country whose actions and political decisions they have no control or influence over? Please OP.

Plus,nobody is really forcing you to play with the Russians. There are still US servers.

Why should I play US servers when I live in the UK?

These people have there own servers, I just don't want to see them in my bgs or my dungeons at all.

[diddle]

Because winning an election requires 100% of the vote amiright?

Besides, Putin isn't elected.

Well, if you hate Russians enough (which I can sympathize with), than you can play on US servers and never have to deal with EU players (including Russians) ever again.

Or you can just run the game with your friends and guildmates instead of spamming LFRs.

[Dhrizzle]

Geography, Russia is very close to (arguably partly in) Europe so it makes sense to cluster the servers together.

I wonder if any Europeans were complaining about having to play with the UK when we did far worse things in Iraq and Afghanistan.

And that's totally your problem. The other 7 million WoW players don't seem to mind them,as they shouldn't.
Not all Russians are like Putin,and not all Russians support Putin.

Explain how I can avoid them in random bgs? Or arenas, or Rated bgs?

That happened before Wow even come out

You can't. Only way to do it is to run with friends, though your enemies might be Russians too. I suppose you only hate Russians to the extend that you don't want to play with them in a random? Or do you just want to have no interactions with them at all in WoW? If that's the case, you will still meet them in BGs and arenas (as your opponents) even if you run exclusively with friends.

For god's sake you don't even have to communicate with them in most random group cases. Don't do Rated PvP with Russians? You get to choose who you play with in those situations. Do you complain to the owner of a business when you see a Russian tourist?

"Excuse me sir, those people have the nerve of being within my range of vision."

Why am I forced to play with New Zealanders on American servers?

Damn Kiwis with their strange pronunciations and affinity for sheep
