Surveying the Bracket

Hey all,

A few questions I have for those still active in 19s (US):

1. How many active guilds are there on Horde and Alliance, respectively?
2. Which of these guilds can and will premade immediately, meaning they have an active solid core?
3. What sort of barriers are there to premades still? (i.e. - Are there are still bugged queues? Can you still not queue with a full 10?)
4. When was the last time an actual premade occurred?
5. Does one faction currently dominate the other?

I'm just seeking a barometer, so no cause for alarm. I am already fully aware that the bracket has suffered as of late with the wane of Cata and the release of D3.
 
1) Three that queue often and in groups ( [H] Waw Tawent, [A] tRain cOw, [A] Lethal Synergy)
2) Most guilds have an active solid core but are very afraid and want to practice against a subpar team first to work out strats and boost confidence (truthfully the latter is more-so the reason)
3) You are unable to queue with 10 man raids so even if a premade is set up, it can take a while to have all four group get the same game (4 groups of 5), also War Games have not been fixed even though they have been out for sometime (damn Blizz, you sure make a lot of tools. Its just a shame that half of them are so broken they are unusable!)
4) The last (probs Cata's only) noteworthy premade I believe was WT vs MGC which was roughly ~6 months ago
5) If you thought Ruin was bad with having no-name lost as fuck players you will be surprised that Cata has only made it worse. Many many players roll in with completely sub par gear (>800hp no enchants) -- 1k was the benchmark in BC/WotLK, now its around 1.4k -- and even the geared players can barely grasp the concept of WSG let alone their 8 buttons they have to press.

Hope I helped m8.

Edit: Lets hope for a hasty release of MoP!

1. How many active guilds are there on Horde and Alliance, respectively? LS (A) / WT (H) / LSFTW (H & under a new name)/ Tcow (A)
2. Which of these guilds can and will premade immediately, meaning they have an active solid core? Unsure
3. What sort of barriers are there to premades still? (i.e. - Are there are still bugged queues? Can you still not queue with a full 10?) Getting the 4 groups of 5 to sync can take a while
4. When was the last time an actual premade occurred? LS hasn't premaded in maybe 2 months or more it's been a while: Last guilds we've premaded that i can recall are LSFTW/DB
5. Does one faction currently dominate the other? Pugwise it goes back and forth between ally and horde
 
Average people online on my friend list before D3 release: 11-12

Average people online on my friend list after D3 release: 3-4

This will happen with any release of a new game or content. The excitement will die out eventually.
 
I told you. Pizza + WT is the only guild in US and the bracket gets pops when they queue until they want to gy farm before their bed tiemsss.

1. How many active guilds are there on Horde and Alliance, respectively? WT (H), TC (A), LS (A).
2. Which of these guilds can and will premade immediately, meaning they have an active solid core? The only ones prem ready are WT and LS ( i believe possibly ls ftw)
3. What sort of barriers are there to premades still? (i.e. - Are there are still bugged queues? Can you still not queue with a full 10?) 4 groups of 5 can suck to get in the same game
4. When was the last time an actual premade occurred? 2-3 months I think lol
5. Does one faction currently dominate the other? No, because Pizza switches between his Horde Hunter + heals + buffs and his Alliance Hunter + heals + buffs


edit: 100th like was Painaid! Weww!

To many distractions and not enough rewards to continue with 19s atm for many people. Not enough interest to get premades going with pugs the way they are to supplement in between premades. Real id games are what there is to look forward to until MoP is released.
