I have to say I’ve increasingly fallen for this, what’s the point in being the only one defending nodes when everyone else is having a whale of a time either on the roads or at Stables in AB.

However, I have found that in CTF BGs I can help achieve victory and rack up kills and it’s all by becoming a defender/supporter of our flag carrier as a Frost Mage. Simply peel people off as we run to the flag room then sit there waiting for the inevitable attack when much hilarity and pwnage ensues. Of course this only really helps if you have a healer alongside you and the flag carrier at least.

Heh.. imagine if you would win PvE encounters by NOT engaging the boss… not sure how that would look…

“Just knocking up a thousand bandages over here”

“Look at my non-combat pet collection”

“Let’s clear some more trash”

I still enjoy the objectives, still prefer a well executed battle, but as a general rule I wont get all tied up when things don’t go as they should.

I even let plate wearers carry the flag… at least once.

I always laugh at the “Why do Horde always turtle?” in AV question.

Maybe it’s because they win more that way… maybe because it is still playing the game and meeting an objective… and maybe it can be more fun if you accept Drek is going to live this time.

Got to hand it to you, you speak words of truth.

Sometimes a batteground is just a place to go fight! Especially since the rapid decline, if any, of world PVP.

I’ve gotten into the habit of checking the forum… not that I normally play on a Tuesday anyway (shutdown is always before I log on anyway).

I’m not at the same stage as you – I still enjoy the objectives and I’m no where near completing any of the battle ground achievements… I need to learn to stick to one toon… but I must say I’m starting to like the idea of getting killing blows… maybe because I’ve switched to playing feral… and rip is just awesome for getting KBs.

But I had an awesome AV over the last AV weekend – it went for over an hour – we summoned the big tree ent guy – which never happened for me back in vanilla (although I saw the Horde’s Frost elemental a lot). Unfortunately he hasn’t been summoned since then… and he was basically still the same – so it was like going back to MC now… and he was useless.

I had to laugh – there was one guy who persistently said – “let the horde win – we get more honor by losing and going again” to which he consistently got the response “No we’re having fun” – a sentiment I agreed with! If he had left when he first started whining he could have queued again before we’d finished…

But I was having good fun over the AV weekend as well because I didn’t just zerg but stayed back and played defense. So much more fun than running down not fighting any horde… even with me being a bear/cat hybrid spec – but there were more than enough tanks floating about.
