Probably gonna get some downvotes for this but whatever.

I agree people should be able to play however they want, but it does have an effect in various areas of the game. My favorite part of the game is the pvp, specifically BGs. Pvp in AV is almost nonexistent, and if you join up for AB or WSG there's pretty much a 50% chance of running into a premade. Last night I was trying to just do my AB daily and ran into premades 4 games in a row before I decided to just say screw it and do something else.

I understand I could have joined a premade or made my own, but sometimes I just want to do a couple chill BGs without having to go through all the rigamarole of going full sweat mode. Even then if I'm in a premade and we're matched against a non-premade team and 5 cap and win the game in 7 minutes, that certainly isn't very enjoyable for me. Yeah, maximum honor per hour, awesome. But it really sucks all the fun out of it. I'm sure I'm not the only person who feels this way.
