BGs – when it’s in new bracket, half the time I’m like watching what my opponent just hit me with more than fighting! Still learning all the other classes spells!

Post 3.2 has brought it back with a vengeance, as I’m thoroughly enjoying xp gains while in BGs.

The higher level BG’s are interesting, although I’m not enamored with WG as much as I here about it – probably my least favorite overall. IoC is still a bit crazy but energizing – parachuting into the base – too fun! SotA its okay, I’ll queue for AV, AB or Warsong over it though.

I only PVP once in a blue moon nowadays. Mostly the PVP achievements for the various world event metas (I actually kinda enjoyed the Children’s Week one. The WSG I was in to get mine done in we actually played out while doing the achievement and ended up winning it, I think.) and idly working on getting the PVP mounts for the 100 mount achievement. :3

Then again, not much in WoW is keeping my attention lately. I log on to do dailies (cooking, fishing and JC) and raid and that’s about it. I can’t even get myself to do the Tourney dailies even though I want the pony for the argent squire and I’d like some of the mounts.

Now sadly, when you are outnumbered 15 to 5.. you are still gonna lose most of the time… BUT KEEP IN MIND that winning levels players faster (and therefore pushes them out of your current bracket faster). So a week from now, the balance will likely shift and you could be looking at 15 versus 5 in your favor.

The new experience thing has pretty much de-stagnated the whole bracket system.

As for the whole, “LOLRPSERVER” thing, I always think that people will do that with me and my friends whenever we do BGs, mainly because we’re not that great due to it being a Normal server, yet you get these great PvPers in Shadowburn (Greymane’s BG) from ones like Kalecgos, and go, “Man… OHWELL.” xD I have a bad habit of going into BGs at lower levels JUST to annoy the hard-core PvPers, and make them work for their game.

I’ve actually found out, that Silver Hand is in the same BG as Aman’Thul, the server I have my 80 Hunter on.

(As for Battlegrounds I actually like… I love defending in WSG now (Hated it back in the day when I loved AB, which I don’t like as much now. o_O) AB is kind of meh, depending on my character. 80 Ele Shammi + Lumber Mill + Thunderstorm = Flying Hordies! AV is kind of meh for me too. If I don’t get stuck up at the Alli base when it’s under attack, I’m good. xD; EotS… I hate it without some friends. I hate it. During Children’s Week, I did it as Boomkin, and was pretty high in Honor, but 15-20 lost games before I could leave cause I got my achieve finally kind of bugged me. :[ SotA, I’m also not fond of… Might be due to the fact I don’t get it, or it might be because Alliance always starts first and I dislike getting Pewpew’d by casters and whatnot sitting on that wall where I cannot hit them. (COWARDS!) The new BG however, IoC, I love. I find that fun, it might be because it combines ideas, or it might just be that when you actually have the airship, you get to jump off it very spy-like. Stealthing while falling just makes it even better. xD; Just watch out for those, “LOLRPSERVER” people in IoC now. I went Docks once, because I knew Hangar would get overrun like always, and got someone say in the BG Chat, “SOME1 WENT LOLDOCKS.” *shrug*

I miss the old days before x-realm when Ivus and Lokholar would actually get summoned now and again. It was also much more interesting when you were familiar with most of the opposing players. The tense rivalries were great.

I still enjoy WSG and AB, but AV is all but dead to me. SotA is interesting, but I’m not a huge fan of the siege engine warfare. WG is like AV in that I’m sort of indifferent to it. I just like the honor gains and badge rewards.

I’ve only tried the new BG once so far, so I can’t pass judgment on it yet.

I guess when people first try battlegrounds they are levelling and trying new things and having fun. Once you reach the level cap, PVP gets “serious”. Although there’s twinks at lower levels, I guess when you’re at level cap, effectively everyone is a twink. It’s pretty intimidating to a casual PVPer.

It took me a long time to try Wintergrasp. I tried it once and found it rather fun, but I didn’t find it so much more fun than other battlegrounds. It seems it’s better balanced, but otherwise… *shrugs*

With my guild tag, I get ganked a lot, because we’re known for bringing it in world PVP. Sometimes it’s someone who’s a jerk, but a lot of times it’s from one of the “rival” guilds on the Alliance side, and I know they’re just looking for some PVP action.

Which is not to say that there aren’t people who gank because they can act like jerks — I could list several on both sides from my server — but for the most part, people who gank are looking for a fight, not an easy kill. (Plus it’s always hilarious when someone’s on the roof in a lowbie town ganking, and you show up and they don’t realize you’re in the 70s or 80s until it’s too late. WorldDefense channel, you make life so much more fun.)

P.S. I’m pretty sure nothing anyone does in a video game makes them “sub-human.” :-/
