Joint battlegrounds from servers 7 months apart?

[Armilus]

I was reading the latest announcement: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=20231

3.3 Cross-realm battlegrounds
We won't go much into detail here, but cross-realm battlegrounds are a very complicated topic.
The concept has been precised and specified before this summer by the Development Team with the following conclusion: it is a very difficult challenge to achieve and there is, for now, no guarantee that it will happen as it needs a lot of software development. The content release shift between the PvE & PvP realms gives us several months to prepare a final answer.

I am not exactly sure why the devs are even trying to do something like that. Compared to PvE realm players, the PvP server characters will have their raid T gears and other world drops (eg. dragons of nightmare loot etc.) roughly half year earlier; giving them huge advantage.

Further, the PvP server is probably going to be populated by the more pro-PvP players, if they are forced to face players from PvE realm, they will probably get even less challange than currently. There are allready complaints about balancing some of the battlegrounds eg.:
viewtopic.php?f=46&t=20203
Crossrealm BGs would further deepen this issue.

Anyone has an idea why the devs are even trying to make this work??

Huh? What are you talking about?

They said they thought about cross-realm BG's and decided it was too much work and a bad idea right now (at least I'm pretty sure that's what they mean by "The content release shift between the PvE & PvP realms gives us several months to prepare a final answer").

Are you upset that maybe one day they might maybe decide to maybe implement cross-realm BG's?

People on this forum have a tendency to overreact and over analyze whatever the Nost Team says. Last week it was all about the post that said "announcement coming before we". And by thursday people were angry about the announcement not having already been there, because "we" could mean weekend... But it turned out "we" meant weeks end and we got the announcement on time.
