The Battle for Arathi Basin - 12/11/09

I fought in one battle for Arathi Basin on Wranngar tonight, a loss. I did it for something to do while I was in queue for AV.

We had a good start which is usual for the Alliance, then it went downhill. We started off with the Stables, Lumber Mill, Blacksmith and Gold Mine, 4 nodes. Then we lost the GM followed by ST. From there everyone left the BS to go to the Farm, which we got for a minute, but lost the BS. I was on defense at the LM, the only node we held throughout the whole battle. There were 2 to 3 of us there. At least always 2.

The problem the Alliance has in all it's battlegrounds that I can see is lack of defense. The Alliance doesn't know how to defend something once they have it, the have to leave it undefended or under defended and go off to try and get more. That usually ends up in a fail, a loss. After watching it for years now I have come to the conclusion that they will never learn.
