The idea that you still can't 'join as group' in AV totally mystifies me. Was AV not the battleground designed to require a large amount of strategy and coordination to win?

It made sense (sort of) previously in that joining as large groups totally blew up the queue (you could realistically only get in when a new av started, which for most servers was 0-1 times per night). But with the new x-server system, this at least is no longer an issue.

AV is going to die if this is not readded. Currently with it being x-server pugs there's no ability for any sort of 'leader' of the bg to emerge and direct people around, because no one knows who anyone else is. EJ already has a thread about how retarded people are in AV. The last people who still don't have exalted will power their way up there, then never enter again -- I know no one in my guild will ever enter AV once the novelty wears off. Then AV will become just be a haven for retards, the LOIO of battlegrounds where retards can go to get easy HKs but never actually get past the middle gy.

There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to queue as grp in AV but you can in the other 2 instances. It's not like "pugs get stomped" is a valid excuse, since the exact thing happens in wsg and ab. It seems awfully stupid that the one battleground designed that rewards good coordination is the one battleground which mechanically forbids it.

The idea of x-server guild v. guild AV seems incredibly appetizing. It's a shame that it doesn't exist.
