The Battle for Alterac Valley 12/20/09

The battle for Alterac Valley rages on and I was right in there fighting for the Stormpike Guard. I fought in 25 battles on Wranngar today, 10 wins and 15 losses. Yeah, the Alliance is still not doing well in Alterac Valley. I blame this on the achievement everyone is trying to do. They come in, they don't want to do anything, least of all fight, they just want to get their 50 HK's and get out. And they do, you see the announcement they got the achievement then you see them leave the battleground... The number of people playing is in constant flux, people leaving and new people coming in throughout the battle.

I got my 100000 Honorable Kills on Wranngar, and my "of the Alliance" title, today so I think I will cut back on this battleground until after the Christmas Holiday and let all those people get their achievement done and get out of my battleground lol.

We didn't have any Blitz's today while the Horde had several. I see a lot of Horde dressed in the Gnome costumes for the achievement but they are fighting. We had the usual problems, people not working together, people taking the wrong graveyards at the wrong time, people not guarding things, the list goes on and on.

We did have some really good battles however. There were a few where the Horde decided to all pile into Galv and try to wipe us out, this caused a turtle. That turned out not to be a good idea for them most times as we had about half the team at FWK capping towers while they were doing that. In a few of the battles we managed to hang onto the east and west towers until they capped. The people that got wiped out at Galv took SHGY and we kept the Horde from capping any of our towers. We didn't get any more towers but we were able to win on reinforcements just by killing Horde.
