• Yes. We'd like to do make queuing for random bgs better by ensuring some semblance of healer balance between alliance/horde. For example, having no healer on your 15 person team when the opponents have 3 can have a huge impact on your team's chance of success. Also, we're considering more aggressively separating players with entry-level gear from everyone else (unless they're grouped with a player with non entry-level gear).

Curious how this would affect boxers, specifically the ones who box 4 or more.

So if I queue as 8x healers to a wsg, horde will get 8x healers as well? Then I quickly switch to ele right before the game starts. Sure it will take ages to kill them, but they will never kill me lawl

I updated the actual quote as the one I first quoted was an excerpt. Valkry - I am sure blizzard wouldnt make it so anybody could just bypass the system otherwise hybrids would just get instant queues.

I don't think it will prevent a group from getting into a BG; if anything I think this will benefit those 4-5 boxing in randoms since you're more likely to actually get healers from other 5. Nothing is more irritating than a 10-15 man group of which you are 1/2 or 1/3 where there are nothing but drooling DPS idiots to follow you around and not help.

Aint nothing like a healer to solo guard a flag from 3 dps until help arrives 2 mins later... if it's even needed :P

Unless those 3 dps are dks... that chain silences, deathgrips :P

Exploit for goblins: queue up with your good gear in the bank and greens equipped. Enter bg with fellow noobs, pop the bank dude, equip good gear, have fun.

Wanna bet this will be possible when this will go live? :)

Probability, 80%.

I also noticed, and it something to consider, is that in that reddit Q&A, they where going to be looking at hybrid healers IE. Ele Shaman, and may reduce healing by them up to 50%. I'll have to find the blue quote again, But let us hope they do not do that.

If that ever becomes a true concern, I'm sure the will make it so you cant pop bankers in BGs.
