The Battle for Alterac Valley 12/17/09

A pretty sad day for the Alliance in Alterac Valley today. I fought in 26 battles on Wranngar, 9 wins and 17 losses. It was some of the worst playing I have seen in a while. The Alliance just couldn't get it together. Of course all the PvE people in there trying to do the stupid Gnome achievement didn't help either. They don't do anything, they don't want to enter into combat because they might die and lose their costume. They leave as soon as they die. The Druids won't shape shift so they are useless. I will be happy when this is over and things can get back to normal. Having the Gnome achievers in there makes a holiday weekend look good...

All in all there was just poor playing today. The people wanting to do the achievement wanted to turtle so they could get their 50 hk's and most of them did, most of them never made it farther than Dun Baldar. They wanted everyone to turtle with them, or defend Balinda, so they could get them fast and get out. More than a few of them got AFK'd out.

We tried to Blitz a few times but when 1/3 of your team is in there for the achievement, 1/3 are Galv tards and 5 or 6 never even leave the cave we didn't stand a chance. From everyone in the cave saying "straight to Drek" to actually having 5 or 6 people make it to Drek it was obvious we weren't going to Blitz. The Horde got a couple Blitz's in though. Then again the Horde know how to work together.

I am not getting many kills lately, they took a nosedive as soon as this stupid achievement became available and they probably won't pick up again until it is over. Hopefully it will end no later than Christmas day.
