Spanish Servers in English battlegroups

I'm just wonder how widespread this is. Does every battlegroup have that one or two servers where the first thing you see is "jajaja" upon instancing in? Or is it just a few "lucky" ones who get to be very creative with explanations/communication in general in randoms?

Seems a little odd that Latin American servers wouldn't just have their own battlegroup... ¿no?

Heya Azazeth,

Latin American players had their own battlegroup at one point; this was changed due to extended queue times. Currently the Vindication battlegroup has all 3 Latin America realms, which is why you may see Latin American players on both random Battlegrounds and Dungeons.

Q u o t e:
Not to be rude, but most of the time ragnaros players are BAD. Kinda like they can't understand plain english........Wait a minute.......LOL
It is unfortunate that you have this perception on Latin American players on Ragnaros, Pallypower. There are good and bad players on all servers regardless of their race or whatever language any person speaks.

World of Warcraft has millions of players all over the world, we welcome everyone to play and enjoy our game whether they can speak English or not.

Q u o t e:

I agree, but you can't refuse to acknowledge that it is difficult for everyone when players can't communicate with each other. I know on my server, it has turned in to an all out war in tradechat. The conflict between Alliance and Horde is nothing compared to the nastiness between the Brazilians and the Americans.

If Blizzard had created WoW to be a single player game, than this wouldn't be an issue, but with all the focus on social interaction, it doesn't seem in anyones best interest to gloss over the problem. =\
No one is refusing to acknowledge that there may be a communication barrier with different languages and players from all over the world. What I was explaining, is that game is open to everyone and players are not required to speak English to play.

Although, if you have any suggestions on how we can improve the communication between players that speak different languages, we would like to hear these ideas here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/board.html?forumId=11122
