why no seasons for frontline and rival wings

why cant frontline and rival wings have a rank season it's more fun then playing 4v4 only to have at which takes a long time to find a game and having ur teammates insult because they lost or because ur new to pvp

Because they weren't designed for ranked gameplay, imagine trying to balance those maps for ranked when they can barely balance the 4v4 mode they already have? There's a reason why ranked Battlegrounds didn't exactly go too well for WoW and after what must be like 10 years now, they're still not balanced with maps constantly being changed or removed in the rotation because they just don't work.

I don't wait any longer for a Feast game than I do for a frontline, and RW doesn't pop at all apart from community events. At times feast doesn't pop, usually neither will frontlines.

Your teammates can't insult you because for starters they can't even talk to you, if you don''t think that in a ranked largescale battlemode you're not getting flamed where blocking chat would be impossible; you're very wrong.

I have a completely different memory of this. Many years back when i played wow, we did rated Battleground almost every day with a full team and it was usually very fun to play. After they allowed the same factions to battle against each other, there were also no problems with queues anymore. I you look at current FF BG's they usually only open at the evening for a few hours.

Waaaaay back we used to have 8v8 Feast. That was a blast. I can't recall if it was ranked or not. They just sort of deleted it and never brought it back despite the community asking for it many times over. If they were having trouble balancing THAT (and even having trouble balancing 4v4 right now), I don't even want to think of what would happen if they tried it with Frontlines. That would be downright scary...

That isn't what I meant. I was hero in multiple seasons (including the first) and I think I still have a few vids on my channel of games with a hero level group. Also, we never had the faction lock for Ranked. Cataclysm RBGs considered of getting into hero range and then either chaining Russian maphackers, or waiting 40 minutes for the MMR range to expand enough to put you up against an 1800 team where it was anywhere between no points and 2 points for a win, and 30 points for a loss. Losing 30 points at 2600 rating is absolute hell because even if you played 2400+ teams it'd be multiple games to recover that rating. And just because they were 1800 MMR doesn't mean they were an 1800 team, could be packed full of heros and blazing boost pilots. Not fun. The balance sucked in multiple different metas, rot being the worst. By Legion you'd struggle to even fill a 2k+ group if you wanted to pug because no-one wanted to really play them. Ranked Battlegrounds were a total missfire from the vision they thought it was going to be.

all i want is for them to give it a try to see how well or bad it goes for 1 season if it go well then have more if not never again then

If we ever get cross data center play this might be something to visit. Specially if they have a big drought on adding a new mode. It just feels like they don't have enough players to support this. Or it would have to be tuned down to 24 man and they don't like 24 man.
