This is exactly why I quit WoW. I was horde side on a server with an alliance to horde ratio of 3:1. Needless to say the horde side knew each other well because we'd know who we were in terms of PvP experience together and stuff like that. So you do your dailies and they suddenly add this bullshit where battlegroups or whatever they called them (put your server in a pool of 9-10?)...totally killed the community.
Battlegrounds were suddenly full of idiots who didn't know the basics (we always taught anyone new about not zerging in Arathi Basin etc), and generally speaking the "community" we knew was gone, because people would auto queue for instances, and work with people of other servers they wouldn't see again...so why bother talking to them?
I wasn't much of a forum user but I did go and protest why Blizzard wanted to kill communities in the name of faster pvp (we had instant BG queues anyway, and often alliance would come over to beg us to queue up)/instance queues. Where are you now, World of Warcraft? Where are you now? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
To be fair I think the sight of kung fu panda would have had me laughing my way to the unsub button anyway but you can see why vanilla WoW has such a following still.

I think cross server queues were due to many of the low and even medium population servers having ridiculous wait times. Coming from one I actually enjoyed the quick dungeon runs. But grew to detest the style the game went with. Essentially every MMO Even live eq has you farming shit to buy gear. Which really kills the immersion.
