custom battleground queueing mechanic for non-level 60

currently there are only 4k players online, with only 7 people in arathi basin in 20-29 bracket.

This while pretty much everyone is not lvl 60 yet. This will only get worse when half the server is lvl 60.

Problem: nobody wants to interrupt his leveling by traveling to main city to queue up. Especially if they have limited time in there playing session.

Providing an option to queue battlegrounds at innkeepers or even a chat command would surely benefit the PVP scene. Allowing more distraction while leveling will also make less players quit.

If you are a PVE purist I'll elaborate what's the advantage for you: more people in BG means less horde baddies that will corpsecamp you in stranglethorn vale for their pvp fix.

Already been discussed. Not Blizzlike, and therefore will not be implemented.

Blizzlike is not an argument, it's an excuse.

Monthly fees is blizzlike, cross realm battlegrounds is blizzlike, wednesdays morning downtimes for maintenance is blizzlike, 1.12 talents on patch 1.4 gear and quests is not blizzlike......

Blizzlike is a valid argument when the goal of the developers is to create a Blizzlike server.

Even though there are 1.12 talents on patch 1.4 gear and quests, the intention was to create Blizzlike content progression, which is cool.

What's your excuse?

I believe that people being able to queue you in group is enough already

This. It is an habit people need to learn. They just are not used to this method anymore cause of retail and non-blizz-like private servers.
