Battlegroups incoming? Blue Post

Wording on this post is a little iffy, Not sure if they intend to turn on the battlegroup's for only said BG of the Respective Weekend Friday-Early Monday (4 Days) or starting tomorrow Realms on Eastern servers can no longer Q against / sync Q's vs Players or Guilds on Pacific Realms.

If so than it might be time soon for the community to settle on Eastern/Pacific Realms, or even better all transfer to the same realm on one of the regions making things like duel tournaments 3v3's or Weekly 'Premade's' with a mixed bunch of different players from various guilds.

Thoughts?

"In order to have players from different realms in agreement on whether or not a Battleground Holiday is active, with maintenance tomorrow, we will divide all realms in the Americas into two battlegroups by timezone: Eastern Time and Pacific Time."

seems pretty straight forward that tomorrow on reset itll be split

I play where I have lowest ping, simple as that.

The reason given seems very thin. Sounds more like they want to reduce server stress and requirements considering they're adding AB. Aka $$

Was looking forward to catching a few games on my day off. Average queue time ~45 minutes.

Guess i'll go outside forever.

yeah I logged in for like 30 seconds earlier, queued battleground and saw "unavailable" wait time.
Instantly logged out. This doesn't seem good for our community.

Logged in after a week away, came back to this. Really upset with the changes, if things don't get fixed here I'll be forced to transfer to EST anyway since I am EST and have been playing on west-coast since release.

Hope blizzard gets their shit together, literally came back to classic to twink.
