Rumor has it

<p>Heard in a BG instance the other day that there was going to be a change were groups could not be packed and loaded as a whole into a BG instance.  That all players would be set into any slot so that players could not heavy load themselves against another team. Any truth to this?</p>

<p>I'd hope not, otherwise there'd be no incentive to run BG's with a group of friends.  Which I know some people would rather run BG's in set groups then as individual pickups.</p>

<p>Completely false..this will never be implemented,and you should be ashmed of yourself for believing it.</p>

<p>If they dont allow small groups to join together, I will stop playing BG. I am not going to play against my partner, who also sits next to me. That is retarted.</p>
