They fixed it on ptr 1st patch, soultrader works there. You can olny go in ashran now with 5 players and not as a raid to stop the lfg big ally/horde groups they did the same in tol and wg. But they was on the same server so did not matter.

How do you queue for Ashran as a group? I tried to figure it out, but I couldn't. A Google search has some suggestions for using the "premade" group tool, but when you already have 5 in the group, you can't use it. If I disband and create a "premade" group in the tool, then add people, the "premade" group disappears.
The only thing I can think of is maybe I need to queue for Ashran individually, then pray they all end up in the same instance.
I think you might benefit from a clearer description, as the one you quoted leaves room for interpretation:
- Enter Ashran with your party leader, but don't have the others follow, leave them behind
- Receive and confirm an invite on the party leader, now you can ride back to the others
- Confirm your party leader is indeed queued up now
- Enter Ashran with your other party members
- Receive and confirm their invites, ride back to the party leader
- Accept the invites when they pop (they might not all pop at the same time, but should be fairly close together)
That should do the trick, it always has for me. The thing is, in order for other party members to be able to join the same instance of Ashran as the party leader, the party leader has to be queued up already, or else they'll all be treated as separate invites and where they end up is pretty much a gamble. With the party leader queued up first, the others know what instance to hook into, so to speak.
Ok thanks. Now it makes sense.
i had only queued with the leader.
i had mistakenly thought that other party members would get invites without needing to queue.
Well, I got all 5 toons in, but /follow does NOT work in Ashran.
I though someone in this thread said it was re-enabled, but maybe they turned it off again?
Edit - looks like someone on page 3 did say it does NOT work. I missed it. Blah.
