Here's how to avoid the 40 man BGs and/or know which kind of BG you're going to get before you enter it. 100% success rate or your money back.
When your BG pops, do you notice all the clicking sounds? That's other players clicking to enter the BG. Wait just a little bit before you click "enter" and see how many clicks you hear.
1. If it was a low number of click noises, you're going to get into a decent 10 or 15 man BG. It's safe to enter the BG.
2. If you hear spam clicking and/or can't keep track of the number of clicks, it's a 40 man BG. Simply leave queue and queue up again if you don't like the bigger BGs.
3. If you hear NO clicking, you're being put into a BG in progress. Most likely a fail. Leave queue and queue up again for a fresh BG.
