There were FAR FAR FAR more twinks than there are boxers. There are maybe 50 boxers per battlegroup. But if they were to get rid of BGs for boxers, i'd be done with this game as i'm sure many others would be.
I agree. I'm mostly a PvE'er, however during pre-patch, pre-expansion lulls, I dip into PvP quite a bit, mostly BGs. If they did something drastic like break /follow in BGs, I'd be done.
