EU+US Bugged Battleground Queues - A sad story Part II

Hello Twinks,

some of you might remember the queue bug we had in early WOD. Whatever we did, games just wouldn´t pop frequently even though we had all that was needed to make a game pop. We had enough players on both sides, we had enough healers, we didnt group queue and we were only q'ing for WSG specific. Nothing helped. We tested it multiple times with the same depressing results of games just not popping or randomly popping after 2 hours in q.

What can I say twinks - attentive and dedicated ppl might have already noticed. We are back to this bugfest of a q. I think it is bugged for quite some time now but since level bgs popped anyways due to the huge amount of ppl, nobody cared enough to do something about it.
I can only speak for EU but I guess US is having the same problem (please confirm). We have tons of ppl in q on both factions, all q´d up for WSG, no grp q'ing and still the game just won´t pop. We get a random pop with almost nobody in q midday and after that nothing for hours even though 20+ ppl in q on both factions.

For those who need an explanation on how the queue should work:
-> You have 10 ppl each side q'ing up for wsg, at least 2 of them being healers = you get a pop.
-> BG ends, everbody q´s up again = BG pops

That is definetly not happening right now. I think we are in a crucial spot to get that fixed if we want our bracket to stay alife:

So what do we need to do? Last time when we had this problem we started a twitter storm because that seemed to be the most promising way to get their attention. And what can I say - it worked perfectly. They fixed the issue within 1-2 weeks. From that point on, we were able to q up with 10 ppl each side and games were popping like mad.

Want some evidence? Check those threads and twitter activity:

We can 100% do this again. It only needs some tiny effort. Open a ticket - and more important - Twitter them the issue about games not popping even though people are queueing up! Give them as much information as possibly. The casual standard answer you might get from others (and I am sure we have some doing that in this thread too) "bgs got separated, not enough people in Q". Try to be as specific as possible that the issue is NOT that there are not enough ppl in Q. I myself tweeted them and linked the tweets from 2015 so they can see that this issue occured in the past and they cared enough to fix it.
Right now we still have ppl playing on their 19s because there is quite some stuff to do with grinding etc. But that will get less and stop at some point. People need to see that bgs are popping. So in my opinion we should get that fixed ASAP!

Thanks for reading and please get your head out of your ass and take that 5 mins to do something about it. I thought about making a post on EU and US forums too but I am not sure if that helps because there you will definetly have to deal with braindamaged people not reading the post just stating that there are not enough people becaue bgs got separated. What do you think?

Edit: in case it wasn´t clear. Twitter @WarcraftDevs and @Holinka. If anyone knows others to include as well - pls Info.

[doublepost=1553012125,1552982219][/doublepost]Bump. Need more ppl to care about this and actually do something. Otherwise bracket is dead.
 
bump. This is SO CANCER. People are actually in queue and we gotta wait 6 hours for a pop man, like wtf.

Tweeted @WarcraftDevs about the issue, ppl should do the same if they wanna pressure blizz into a quick fix. Let them know.

Hey man, everything counts. I feel like if you actually wanna get in touch with Blizzard, Twitter is the best way. Especially if we come in numbers. Appreciate your incentive. This shit needs to get fixed ASAP before EU twink brackets die.

I should probably start queuing when i'm either farming or questing on my 19's - not like BG's are popping in any other bracket i want to play. Dunno if 19's are less bursty than a 70 twink BG - Fire mages are broken AF at 70

Haven't played 70's in a good while. At 19, damage is mostly high when it's coordinated. Outside of that it really isn't "that" bursty. Boomkins are a great example of one of the very, very good classes that has on-demand burst, but that's not the only reason why they're good.
 
Games already popping on EU but completely random. Again enough ppl in Q on both sides but there seems to be a weird timer preventing us from getting the pop. Next expected pop 1:30 hours from now. This is a fucking joke. Make tickets and tweet them pls.
NA does not seem to have those issues. Maybe it is a region thing because EN Servers share q with germans/russians/french realms but can only face as opponent.
[doublepost=1553359066,1553351703][/doublepost]Pop.... almost on point!
[doublepost=1553370881][/doublepost]Next pop again after 2 hours. Now in Q with 15+ Ally and Horde. No pop. Probably next pop in 1.30 then.... Send them tickets and Tweets twinks.
