Premades getting a crutch to help them

I don't see what the complaint is.

If I see a good player in a WZ I add them to my friends list. I have so many people on my friends list now that I can snap together a group in five minutes anytime of the day.

Also, a full pre-made cannot carry 4 bad players.

Is group PvP not reward enough for "playing with friends"? "LF3M for premade. Must have xyz. PM me!" spam shows that premades ONLY play with friends. And not for the rewards or to stomp solos into the ground. It's for the camaraderie and the joy of meeting stiff competition that it's done, for the most part.

OP had a legitimate question IMO.
Unless you specifically avoid interacting with the people in that pugged premade, it's likely to make you closer with them. You start off going for gear but find friends along the way because the system encouraged you to go ut of your way to find people.

Pretty much this.

This is a social game. Meet people, make friends. Play the game together.

Rated WZ will allow full pre made OPS.

Not everyone is as gregarious as you, perhaps? IRL some people have a circle of 40 "friends" while others have deeper relationships with 1 or 2. Most of the time, neither side can really identify well with the other. People who are more gregarious start to throw out the "antisocial" moniker, while those who are less gregarious throw it out in another flavor. Neither way is right, but clearly, in this game, one is better.

[edit] Having said that, the one side that is most likely to be insulting to the other is the "more-gregarious" pack, for some unknown-to-me reason. Witness some of the posts in this thread.

I think what he is saying is solo players will get steam rolled in normal WZ by players in full Rated WZ gear...

You can premake groups all you want, I want to be able to compete against you even if I am in a PvE guild.
Will your lives end if I Q with 7 people and beat you?

I really hope they don't end up making more brackets (like 10-49, 50 ranked, 50 unranked). 10-50 unranked with a stat cap and restrictions on rewards would keep from having to further divide the community.

My guess is you need better gear to beat solo Q'ers. I understand.
You can. Just stop refusing to meet people and you can.

If you'd prefer to be antisocial, this game isn't for you. It strongly encourages team play in about every aspect, right down to the companion system.
