They work just in case people didnt know, some people believed they didnt work. Well, all you need is at least 5 on each team for wsg, and each party must convert to a raid group, then challenge. I've done it before, people tend to forget about converting to a raid

edit-need xp on

Have you tried this ON F2P's? Because they do work when you have your exp on but I know it has been tried several times in 19s and 20s and it didn't work (Yes, they werein raid groups).
 
Would appreciate a Screenshot as proof that we can do 10vs10 wargames.
 
Hmm I believe this worked 5v5 but we couldn't join 10v10, altho there could have been other issues as it's hard to coordinate with 20 people.

Did you confirm this with more than 5 people on a team?
 
Wargame BGs do not work. Tested and confirmed.
 
Additional info: It has to do with XP Off. People who have XP off can't do wargames, but it works just fine for XP on.
 
Awesome detective work! Just think we could've been doing war games since the dawn of F2P... /facepalm
 
We have tested this scenario about 5 months ago already. Didn't work then, still won't work now :'(
 
What about starter geared wargames as an alternative. You could level a toon to 19 and just wait in Org with starter gear on. Wargames would work with these characters because xp would still be on. No heirlooms, no professions, no gear. Or play rift?

Not a bad idea.
 
So I'm confused.. Do wargames with all F2Ps work (no P2Ps with XP-off in the raid)? ..Or is it only possible for starter accounts that have not level capped at 20?

I think what they mean is that 20 F2P cant do it because we are indeed in the xp off bracket, eventhough our XP isnt turned off at Besthen / Slhaats (fun fact, their name's mean Best in slot).

The thing mentioned about the starter accounts was probably just that you could have them at lvl 19 and then go do a wargame, but you would get XP so.. you would have to lvl a new one after a little while

Pretty sure that there are no rewards from war gaming, therefore the starter account idea has merit. Doubt you'll be getting exp

You do get exp from for example capping flags.

yes, in a real game. Going off the blizz blog about war games you cant earn anything in them, not even honor/achieves, nothing. Then again, we havent tested it, but going off blizz's philosophy of nothing gained from war gaming, I doubt you'll be gaining exp

Today we tested the WSG wargame, the 2 party leaders were P2P with exp off. The que popped but when people clicked enter it simply vanished.

We then had both P2P accounts go exp on and challenge again. The que popped and the 2 leaders were able to enter while the trial accounts (exp off) lost the que.

Since it was just 1v1 I ran over and capped a flag. I can confirm that there is no Exp or Honor rewarded.
