I think random BGs just about killed PvP for me

[defactoman]

I'll start off by saying I enjoy the random BG option. It rewards people for taking a chance and gets some play time on lesser used BGs. That said the way the system works now will cause me to unsub if it isn't fixed or tweaked.

Basically the way it stands now, ill never be able to choose the BG i want to play ever again. I waited over an hour for AV and WSG (small and large BG for a test) and neither popped. If i want to play WSG i have to take my chances with the random BG queuing system which "MAY" eventually get me to my desired BG.

Here's how the system should work.

1) I queue for AV
2) I wait for a random AV group to form.
3) All people specifically queued to AV get priority access and it fills up with randoms who get extra honor as a reward
4) I get the battleground I want, random people get a random BG + extra honor.

But as it stands now this isn't happening. I'm hoping that this is an oversight that will be resolved.

Edit - Blue confirms it's a bug:
There's a known bug that isn't properly incorporating random battleground queuers with those choosing specific battlegrounds. This can lead to queue times that are longer than what they should be.

A hotfix is in the process of being developed and we anticipate it should be applied within the next day or two.

ed - To clarify, this can create a longer queue time for those choosing specific battlegrounds.
