EU+US Are you satisfied with PuGs in their current state?

I see you have twinks in every single bracket, the fact that you have failed to see the competitiveness in 19s indicates that you are either clueless, or started in Legion.

Alot of people remember PuGs being twink v twink, and they were often very well fought matches compared to what we have right now.

I can't speak for people who don't want to wargame, but I would assume they either can't be on when wargames are forming, or simply have no desire to wargame at all, and prefer PuGs.

Nice contribution-- I would have to disagree about unmerging / keeping the merge being anything about the gear templates-- it's still very obvious who knows what they are doing and who doesn't, and therefor an underlying problem. I'd argue that unmerging levelers / twinks would improve the overall health of the bracket more than removing templates would.

The argument seems to boil down to this: Spotty queues and better games OR Good queues and games like we have now.

After playing for so many years, twinkling is never ‘perfect’. I personally would rather know we are able to get into a game, rather than how it has been in the past- especially when we all had to transfer servers just to get daytime queues. Times like now are the ideal times to try and recruit more people to our bracket, as we get a ton of “face time” with randoms. My two cents.

Satisfied with alliance pugs. Faster queue times and more competitive games. Much more common to run into premades and familiar faces on the horde.

When I queue horde, i rarely see premades on alliance may run into 1-2 familiar people in a game. And the ridiculous queue times have me logging right back to alliance after 1-2 games.

pugs are fine if u take them for what they are, its fun 2 que alliance cause you often vs some horde 5 mans

i think that xpoff games circa WOD could occur, but pugs popping 24/7 is still pretty healthy for the bracket, in WOD u would still get a lot of random idiots with ther xp turned off queing. that being said i do miss some of the competitiveness from those pugs
