I just had to tell you I had one of those nights last night…

EotS was the daily, and the BG was popping up every 5 minutes… because the Horde were steamrolling every group that entered, even when the Alliance tried to play intelligently.. it was no use…

Tried AV… steamrolled…
Tried AB… steamrolled…
Tried WSG… steamrolled…

I gave up after a couple of hours, part of the art of warcraft is knowing when to fight… and when to retreat.

Logged on quickly this morning to knock over the daily… I saw a steamroller coming right at me… but to give the Alliance team credit, they listened and even though we never managed to hold more than 2 towers, we did manage to restrict Horde to only one active tower for long enough…

It was close, one of the closest EotS I have played…

Well played Blootlust Alliance!

PS: I also solo’d a rogue… as Resto… poor little bugger.. my health kept going up, while my totem and his health kept going down…

Hey SlikRX.

You are 100% right, if the BGs aren’t with you, then they are definitely against your XP grind.

At least now they wont start until both teams are full… nothing worse that waiting with 5 members and the opposition has 10-15-40 – because you already know the result.

I guess I had the extra motivation of wanting 30 or each mark for my hot new Battlestrider… Ohh how much I love it!

Still, I ended up with a lot more AV marks than the others.. the XP was too good to refuse.

I agree.. and taking the Twinks out means that having a spread of levels from lowest to highest is now relatively viable… there is usually a target for everyone

Urrrghh DK’s…

I had forgotten all about them until my 1st WSG at 50… then I was reminded.. violently.

I’m lucky I am playing Resto, as the early stages of the brackets mean nothing to me… I can still heal.

That said, with the twinks gone even low levels have opponents

When I first heard about this, I was MAJROLY jazzed! Then reality set in…

I play a Drae Retpaladin on Velen. In the last 25-30 BGs I’ve done, I have been on a winning team ONCE. That’s playing Warson, Arathi and now Alterac (yes, the Alliance lost on Alterac)

Kudos to anyone willing to slog through that type of pain and keep on doing it. (especially since you do NOT get exp for losing Warsong Gulch – not sure about Arathi Basin)

My last venture into a BG was in Warsong as a level 62 Pally. On my team of 12, I was 3rd highest honor, 2nd highest in DPS, 2nd highest healing and tied for 3rd in killing blows. In a 60-69 BG, I was a lowly 62, and I was still one of the top players. (and I’m not very good at PvP…)

I will say that I *LOVE* that most of the twinks are gone from the BG genpop, but I fear that with the concurrent faction switch, my server tilted more Horde.

So, for those that have a balanced server (or are on the “better” side) doing BGs for honor, marks and now exp is a GREAT addition. But if your server is a wee bit lopsided against your faction, it can be an exercise in frustration.
