I find scenario play so much more fun than the lakes zerg or zerg busting. Zerg busting can be fun from time to time, assuming the lag is controlled, but for quick action SC's are the way to go. Taking keeps is horrifically boring.

that is the thing, orvr should not be equal to keep fights. Bring more objectives at orvr and u may see how much more interesting is open zone fights

Coming from a destro healer who is starting to get quite bored* of the order premades in scenarios (destro have them too, just seem to be fewer in numbers) I really would love this. It was a complaint of a big part of the playerbase that Mythic never implemented premade queues for scenarios (IIRC they tried some behind-the-scenes ranking system which worked as well as you expected). I've had the benefit of being grouped with a destro pre-made and stomping order in a scen. I've also had the misfortune of facing an order premade and getting stomped. Fun fact: nobody likes being stomped.

Having a coordinated pre-made (usually with optimal - or at least balanced - class composition) vs uncoordinated pugs with random classes, random levels, varying specs (god bless the 2h chosen that can't find Guard) and to top it all off a language barrier due to there being 1 server for everyone just results in the strong getting stronger... and destro logging off :P.

Please don't take this as a rant against organised play - back in AoR I was ran pre-mades, guild warbands, etc. Even back then I thought matching pre-mades against solos was a stupid idea :/.

* FYI this is an understatement


Oh and I keep pressing "Need" on those soldier's tokens but they never appear in my back-pack. I *need* them :'(
