Quote:One certainty I can tell you: Teams are going to dominate pick-up groups even more than they do now.
Teams will always dominate PUGs, but the cross server system will have a tendency to bring more PUGs to the battlegrounds and a similar number of pre-mades.
- Consider off-hours when pre-mades can get into a BG but there aren't enough to make a PUG on any individual realm (or if you do you end up 5 vs 10 and get owned quickly).
- Consider the single guy with the no-queue effect when seeing no BGs open at all. Having several realms sharing queues will make it much less likely that no games at all are running.
I think there will be more PUG on PUG action and a similar amount of team on team action. Mixing realm rulesets will have some of the effect of balancing factions. PvP realms will see longer alliance queues, and Normal realms will see shorter alliance queues.
