Battlegroups and group setup idea for ui
Just an idea I have for making bgs more fun to play. I would like to see an interface for a bg where the bg leader can view all the people in the battle group.
They have this ability at the moment but it’s basic and you can’t move people about unless you tell them via voice chat or bg chat
It would be nice to group solo people into a group like using maybe a drag and drop system then put the toons that need to be in a group like a speed class healer then either tanks or casters so that people get groups and the groups they do get are balanced.
Would make for a much better experience for everyone involved.
If someone wants to solo in the bg they can put a flag up that stops them being grouped.

This way the bg leader can get people in groups who want to be in groups.
Now if you don’t want to be in a group that’s fine you would not be grouped unless you hit a flag to say you wanted to be in a group
That way the people like you who don’t want to do what other people tell them can do your own thing though why a
Person who is obviously so individual and independent would join a bg and chase around someone like a big fat sheep is indeed a quandary to me.
Toodle pip old man hope that explains it better
It really wouldn't. I'm not sure anyone would want BG leaders and their delegates doing that. In fact, some group leaders would rather go around as a 4-6 man, than pick up randoms who are in shocking templates, no voice comms, unable to stick, sprint, assist or follow basic instructions. Lumbering people with solo / lfg people just to give them heals, speed etc isn't the role of the BG leader.
If they are so desperate, they can put up the /lfg or group finder flag. Oh wait..lol
I tend to agree. Having said that I feel dirty. However, as someone that typically zerg-surfed in non-traditional zerg-surfing classes such as a cleric, I would be horrified if the BG leader had the direct ability to force me to group with people. Now you can make the claim that BG leaders indirectly have that ability by creating and enforcing the rules that govern their particular BG, however what Brut proposes is a step too far in my opinion.
But hey it’s cool just thought it would make it easier for people.
I am sure people like you treason or other independent minded people would make your own groups.
I am sorry to hear you left the game I allways found you a great character in the game and the game is lesser for your absence.
I understand the spirit of your suggestion and the problem it's aimed at is a real, major, and ongoing issue that plagues every BG of all realms. I'm just not sure that your suggestion, in its current form would be the ideal way to solve the problem. That's all that I'm saying but again, the issue it seeks to address is something that warrants being looked at. Unfortunately, BS could make it the easiest thing the world to group up but I struggle to see how they can account for the human aspect of this problem, that being people sometimes just have no desire to group with people they don't know for whatever reason.
Or potentially give them a listing of unfilled groups within the bg?
