Insults...? check
Uninsightful remarks...? check
Baseless accusations...? check

Ahhhh! School must be out.

Anyways, I'll say it again...

If the normal que did not allow group joining (i.e. premades) and ranked ONLY allowed groups, then we would see at least a couple of things:

1) No change in que times
2) A place where casual players can have fun too.
3) A place where someone like myself and my friends could que up and meet other groups (thats right I am a premade fan ...but only against other premades)
4) An even playing field where the chances to win are approximate to the chances to loose.

The arguments against this have proven weak at best but please I invite someone to prove me wrong.

PS. unintelligent trolling will simply get a Merry Christmas followed by a restating of my idea (just to ensure that my posts stay on topic)

Hear Hear!
Well spoken!

The major argument that the premades are yelling is that ranked q takes too long.

That is NOT a accpetable ground to keep bullying us PUGs with thier presence in regular WZs. The Premades have to bring this up with the devs! Not to come bully us in regular WZs.

We PUG also deserve a equal battleground to have FUN and NOT being bullyed around facing impossible odds.

This really have to end now, if not few and few will play this game until its shutdown for good. We are not far away from that now.

All the things you listed are available within the current game
For example everyone can form groups with friends guild member or from general and join a warzone or ranked arena
I don't see the problem

People are confused about the term "third party software", taking it to mean any non-SWTOR software running at the same time as playing SWTOR. This is obviously nonsense. Relevant section from their End User Access and License Agreement:

The banned "third-party software" is only that which interferes with the game's operation or intercepts its data traffic. VOIP programs (or web browsers for that matter) do neither, and so are legal.

TL;DR: Voice comms are not against the TOS, in case anyone was in any doubt.

Everyone dont want to be part of a team in pvp, but rather pvp casual when its fits them. Premades already have thier own WZ, its called ranked. Go there and wreck hell, but plz leave the regular WZs alone.

Just remove the premades from regular WZs and the problem is solved. All in the premade WZs will have the same programs running, and it will be a balanced fight. End of story

4) is impossible sorry. Skill differential, class balance, server population, rage quitters, fraction imbalance, day time and random grouping up can't guarantee you an even playing field. At least in PUGs this is impossible and with or without premades there will be a plenty of stomping. And we had Nostrum Dolus on the server, guess what, they even stomped you in ranked (8v8), you couldn't even leave spawn. Same in normals even when there was just 2 of them. You and I might not like it, maybe nobody, there will always be some imbalance in PVP.

btw i would really love premade wzs back, but even it was i would still like to have the chance to just group up with some friends and pvp a little in normal wzs, what else is there to do in this game?
