SL Guide and FAQs

Listen bud, you're clearly not in the right state of mind. Relax take it ez. <3 for forums and the forums will <3 you! :p

I think you are reading a little to much into things, take a nap/ change diaper. Still does not change what I said, even though I gave it some tough love. And I don't need you speaking for the forums as if you represent anybody, nice try though.

Premades have always been toxic, running them to farm gems in a pinch... I get it... all the time... just makes the format terrible... save it for organized wargames. Going into shadowlands would also make for a refreshing change of venue in general for all games, again though, can't mind control the masses.

I honestly think it has less to do with people being butt hurt about gear and more to do with the entire Premade aspect of the current 20-29s. Premades are what is powerful, not some kid wearing a Legion Hat. People come into the bracket and just see 5 mans trolling graveyards and think its gear.. when its really just group power.

Premades are what ruins the formats not gear (outside of S tier nerds). You can get lucky with two crits on a half ass Ret and just kill any rando max gear twink. What you can't do is kill 5 kids all touching tips at the same time.

Premades are what really destroys the format. I get that sometimes you just get more twinks in your group... its not the same as people quing together and giggle farting. The games are much more fun when its random.

Again, however without being forced to do things intelligently, most twink kids will just wipe their ass from back to front and get shit all over their balls. Proven since day one.

I would also argue that some of this is just psychological as well. Most twinks are fuck-tards and act accordingly. Spitting on people in game, etc. These people are just douche bags, but they know it, it's just the persona they choose to go though life with - and unfortunatly probably did not have a dad who just kicked them in the face when they started to act all silly-as-fuck. This kind of behavior from kids in premades also brings undo attention to gear being overpowered.

Example: "This fat nerd killed me while having full pocket heals and then spit on me with his emote... let me look at his armory... oh he has a epic hat and cod piece... his gear is what killed me, not the fact that he is a full carry chimp that only rolls in premades and then acts hard." Some people (who are just dumb) make the conclusion that it was gear there.
I'd encourage you to make friends but my god, no wonder you end up solo
 
If you ride the solo queue high horse and hate on premades you're a tool bag lol it's ridiculous. It's not anyone else's fault but your own that you can't make friends in a massively multiplayer online role playing game. Die mad.
 
My favorite upcoming example in SL: SL 19s can attain 100% mount speed by leveling to 40 before the prepatch,

there is 0 chance blizz changes this get used to it. i have 8 twinks already at the 43 mark for it. is it going to stop me from making a dk/dh for 19s? nope ill still make them. if you dont have it when sl comes out its not the end of the world. two seater mounts are a thing that can help the 60% Andy's.
 
This premade discussion is so tiresome. Should have its own rant thread tbh so we dont clog up SL news thread.

For 20s:

Premades have been on the table since WOD with the unveiling of vets. People didnt premade (widely) in cata/MOP f2p because they couldnt due to f2p restriction.

BG meta changes in Legion that carried through BFA incentivized the win (crate) most recent BFA changes further incentivized that (blue ilv 31)

You need to accept by now that if fun = winning and if you want to (semi)consistently win, you're going to need to premade.

Heres to hoping that SL doesnt provide any further incentive for winning.

Holy shit get fired up nerd. :D

Outside of self indulgence I refuse to believe anybody is stupid as fuck enough to think premades are healthy. It's not possible. It's not about friends or high-horse solo or any other stupid shit people want to hide behind.

As far as the spitting emotes etc, who knows maybe people are mad at life for having a bowl cut and buck teeth, you never can tell. That stuff should be out of the game, but can't control it.
 
Premading is a topic for max level and twinking, makes me feel like I am back on the wow forums lol. Let people play together and make your own groups. I mostly solo que I just take the lose and move on its not a big deal.

That being said I am not a fan of the current crate system ( too random for me) would like to see the items from crates moved to a vendor or something, like a token system for each slot that scales to your level or something. One can dream I guess.

I plan to do the same, and get six of my twinks to 40 to get 100% riding pre-SL -- the more people who do so, the more it will encourage Blizzard to fix the issue. I've seen numerous people skip a bracket for grandfathered items much less impactful than 60% vs. 100% riding. If Blizzard doesn't fix it, I don't see SL 19s ever getting off the ground.

i just don't understand why you think blizz would ever make a change to it. do you not remember northrend eng? this effects so many less people

Grandfathered first aid in Cata affected maybe 200 players max, and Blizzard still fixed it. Admittedly, that remains the most shocking fix I've ever seen in the game. While grandfathered mount speed isn't as big a deal as a lay-on-hands with a 1-minute cooldown (which is what the grandfathered bandages essentially did), enough players could be affected by grandfathered mount speed that I could see Blizzard finding a way to keep Chops' money in his Venmo.

they find enough ways to take it, I would appreciate them finding at least one way to let me keep it.

That said, I think its more surprising that they didnt fix NR engi than that they'll probably fix this. They tinker with so many weird, niche twink things that you wouldnt think theyd care about.
