Petition : Remove 20 Minute Timer for Warsong Gulch DISCUSSION THREAD

I didn't want to sign it until I had done some WSGs first hand. What I was most worried about was being stuck in long, boring matches where I'm stuck healbotting a bunch of lvl 10s. But with it being "Twink Only" that issue disappeared. Also, joining a WSG that has already started really sucks because it usually ends 2mins later.

warsong is the only bg that has the potential to go on forever. without a cap, trying to make use of bg xp would be insane.

i think what blizzard should do is put everybody that turns their xp off into one universal battlegroup where there is no timer. that way everyone is happy

imo, a real fix would be to have the FC debuff stack faster (a stack every 3min, start stacking 2min into the game or flag reset, and have more than 2 stacks (500% max or more).
This way, games would be upto 1h long and normal PuG v PuG matches would still be around 20min.

That or a kills limit

Now that is a good idea. I'd like the WSG timer if it didn't lead to so many standoffs after the first cap. If there's going to be a timer, then protecting the FC needs be an ever-more-important and ever-more-difficult focus for WSG. When five minutes of turtling leads to the FC being able to be one-shotted, it encourages better defense and better offense, as the turtling team has much more incentive to cap than to turtle.

Personally I wouldn’t mind the idea making a new format for wsg , to speed things up a lil bit, but not under the circumstances at the moment, especially as we are all waiting hours for the wsg queue to proc. Just to get a 25 min battle where basically the first team to cap is the winner. Its like going to a fairground and queuing up for years to get a mildly thrilling experience, this system is just not my cup of tea, and because of this im gonna sign the petition. The problem is now that it is not in blizzards nature to change something back to the way it used to be, thets just hope they keep on tweaking the system to make a bearable twinking experience.

Yeah, the timer totally sucks.. As someone rightfully said a few posts above, chances are you enter a game with 2 mins to go, and then Q for the next game but everyone's logged off to sleep..

IF... the timer was removed, people would start complaining about Q times, but at least there would be awesome games going on.#
Also, this thread needs to be on the official forums, cos no ones gonna take heed of this one.
