    Indeed. Random Battle grounds are just that - the battle field is random. Sometimes you are faced with 40 AFKers or bots. Other times you are faced with 40-multi-boxed toons. You can't get more random or diverse than that.

    Given the fact that premades in Random Battle Grounds represent a very small fraction of games (I'd wager less than 1%), I don't see it as an issue.

    I remember that first time I got rolled by a QQ premade (2 years ago on my 5-box shamans). I was shocked by the coordination and capabilities of the team. Sure, it wasn't fun being graveyard camped for the entire match - but made me want to find out more and play on a team of that level. It was a very memorable game for me and I enjoyed each skirmish and each challenge, success, and fail.

    Rated Battlegrounds are Garbage for a variety of reasons. I've played them for 2-years single-box. You spend half the time managing the team and the other half waiting on queues that will never pop.

    What oQueue does it gives you the capability to

    A. Create a Premade (for Randoms, Rated, Dungeon, Raids, whatever)
    B. Advertise that to the social Mesh
    C. Allowing interested parties that meet the criteria to find you
    D. Quickly create and managed a Premade
    E. Fill replacements very quickly

    This is so simple, yet Blizzard has never implemented anything like this in game for PvP. Finding Premades for anything is limited to Trade Chat (filled with trolls) or forums, both of which aren't that effectively.

    If you want to get home from work and roll an RBG within 5-minutes, good luck. When I was part of a PvP guild that did nothing but Rateds on my old server, it still took way too much time and energy to get it going (even with a weekly schedule). We'd have no shows and have to fill the spots, which would take too much time and the group would fall apart.
