The Battle for Alterac Valley 11/30/09

The Alliance was having a better day in Alterac Valley today. I fought in 22 battles on Wranngar, 15 wins and 7 losses. We were doing really well early on and then kind of tapered off later. We won the last battle I was in by 17 reinforcements.

I passed the 80,000 lifetime kill mark on Wrann tonight. Now I have less than 20,000 to go to get my "of the Alliance" title.

It is so hard to get the Alliance to work together, I am in awe that we win any battles at all. Everyone is doing their own thing most of the time, whether that is AFK, capping SHGY at the wrong time or just throwing themselves at a group of Horde and dying. I tried to get 10 people to pile into IBT so we could cap it and end the last battle but the best I got was me and one other person. Needless to say when 7 Horde showed up to take it back we were unable to hold it. We had SHGY in that battle and everyone was more worried about defending that than getting any of the objectives. It is sad. We tried the Blitz a couple times but, as usual, not enough people followed the plan and we failed. The people too stupid to follow the simple plan, all to Drek, are the ones that cry hardest when it fails...

We did have some good battles though and I got a lot of kills. And I did that without farming kills, I was actively trying to capture objectives the whole time. When we were all turtling in DB, I would go get the Coldtooth Mine, then head into FW Keep and cap the towers. Can't hold them by myself but it splits the Horde up as some come back to recap them.

A simple plan to win in AV, without the Blitz, is go get Galv, then IBT, put at least 5 people in it, get IBGY and TP, once again, at least 5 people in TP. A few people to guard IBGY. Don't take SHGY. That is a must, all that does is cause a turtle and keep us from getting our objectives. Then move down and take FWGY, FW Towers and the Relief Hut. One you have those, kill Drek. It's not rocket science but a lot of people can't do that. We lost the East and West Frostwolf Towers repeatedly today because people would start them capping then jump down to go stand on noob hill in front of the keep. One single Rogue or Druid can go in there and recap them at that point, and they did. What is so hard to understand about guarding the towers while they cap? I don't get it.
