[Multiqueue 1.9] Revive Low level Arathi Basin

[goblite]

Greetings,

This post is in regard to the pvp que system and serves to propose a change that will give lower level players the chance to enjoy the arathi basin battleground more often as they level. We all know that in real vanilla, you could que for either WSG or AB and join the first one that started. On nostalrius you can que only for one battleground. Since most players know that WSG only requires 10 players and have observed that WSG games start sooner, they choose to que for WSG for the best chance of getting into a game quickly. Viritually no players que for AB and certainly not enough for a game to begin. Thus, unless it is AB weekend, only WSG games occur and players must choose whether to play endless marathons of WSG games, or just go out and level up. Ultimately it comes down to resistance- players will choose the path of least resistance. WSG offers little resistance because you know you can get a game. Arathi basin offers lots of resistance because you know it requires more players and long wait, if it even occurs at all.

I propose that the defilers and league of arathor emissaries be changed to remain all week after an Arathi Basin holiday. This gives players an easy way to que for the BG and something to remind them of it. Players will not have to walk all the way to the battlemaster to que and it is more likely that those who are going out to quest or farm will que up as they walk by. This would not affect the que system or honor/reputation gain, it would simply give a more convenient way to que and hopefully result in more arathi basin games being played from levels 20 to 59.
