We'll see when it gets into beta I guess, nothing is known for certain yet.
Actually if you look at all the other blue posts about it the setup is quite clear: The 40 person BG's are moving to 25 person maxs to accomodate rated BG's and to make them easier to balance. To que for a rated BG you need a raid of the size of the BG--You can't solo que or que five of your guys for a 15 person BG. You get a personal rating for the BG's--There are no teams.
Sure, the downside is that you have to find other people to BG with but the upside is that with the way the points work everyone is just going to be doing rated BG's instead of regular ones once they get their gear. I think they're going to be like now when a premade AV starts up--They just take the first 40 people and go. I don't think it's going to be much more coordinated than they are which means in the 10 and 15 mans we will still dominate.
I really need to find a multiboxer friendly pvp group that's willing to work with me in bg's and see's the possible benefits of a boxer. Course, I also need to figure out which comp will work best for bg's lol. Shaman will still probably be better but I love playing the rets, and of course you can never underestimate the stealth factor with 5 druids...
Pretty sure there will be all kinds of rated BG pugs going on. Its just too difficult to get together a team of 10-15 and good luck on 25. Sure there will be a couple of servers that will have a full premade team of arena/bgs all stars on occasion but overall it will be pugs.Quote:

check it out.
Blue post about it.
It sounds like they are removing the "random" element of BGs, similar to when people have to create their own raids. The "rated" BG is probably random every week, and rotates maybe? (speculation)
AV is also turning into a 25 player battle, so you do not need 40 for it anymore.

was this already posted?
Rated Battlegrounds
- Players will participate in rated battlegrounds by forming their raid group prior to joining the queue.
- You will only face off against other rated groups.
- Each week the format for rated battlegrounds will be different. It will rotate between 10, 15 and 25-player battlegrounds.
- Rating loss will not exist until after a certain threshold.
- Conquest points will be rewarded for winning rated battlegrounds.
- There will be a limitation on the number of Conquest points you can earn each week to prevent feeling like you must participate in both arenas and rated battlegrounds.
- There will be end-of-season rewards for rated BG teams similar to arenas:
- The classic Honor titles will be coming back and rewarded to the top teams each season.
- The "Gladiator" equivalent teams will also receive epic ground mounts. Ground mounts because they want to reward something you can ride in the battleground and be proud of / show off.
well my big hope that "rated bgs become a boxers best friend" are completly destroyed...
also a second WSG map.. bummer

but as for now one can only speculate until it is implemented into the beta, but I do still see a light at the end of the tunnel for Rated BGs and Multiboxers.
