    • just play ranked pvp guys 
    • That is fair, and low population is definitely part of the issue right now. My point is simply that during lower population hours — usually during the American nighttime — the same guild premades repeatedly end up together for hours, creating extremely one-sided matches that stop feeling like true Random BGs. Even with lower population, there are still enough players for normal random matches. The issue is when several coordinated premades stack into the same battleground and turn it into what feels more like a rated match against random teams.
    • I don't think anyone is really synchronizing here. Unholy Deadth are syncing in Epic because they're abysmally bad at PVP and can't win with less than 20-25 players from their guild, but other than that a lot of this alleged synchronization is just based on randomness and lack of players queueing right now. That being said, I'm pretty sure it'll feel different when the next season hits the server, because Season 2 is pretty much dead at this point.
    • I understand your point, and I agree that Random BGs should be as balanced as possible regarding healers, gear levels, and inexperienced players on both sides. But the issue I am talking about is different. Premades are fine. The problem is when the same guild queues 3 or 4 synchronized premades during low population hours to effectively create a full coordinated team inside a Random BG. At that point, it stops feeling like random PvP and starts feeling more like a rated match against random players, which creates very one-sided games for hours.
    • "Mixed gear levels" is the euphemism of the year. You constantly get low ilvl team mates that power-leveled through gnolls and bees, knowing shit about gearing up to a certain degree first and even less about their classes. Do you have a solution to that problem as well? That's one of the main reasons why premades are being formed, by the way: people wanna pvp, not babysit terrible alts or newcomers. There already is a fair amount of rated pvp on this server, but not in the early hours.
