The battle for Alterac Valley rages on and the Alliance still aren't doing really well in there. I fought in 28 battles on
Wranngar, 11 wins and 17 losses. We are still having the same old problems, people doing the Gnome achievement, people not working together, a lot of AFK, and overall lack of experience.
The Horde were Blitzing like crazy, they know how to work together and can pull it off. The Alliance tried a few times but they can't work together and all it resulted in was a wipe at Drek.
There was the usual stupidity too, we were in Frostwolf Keep waiting for the towers and relief hut to cap when the Horde just poured in, at least 3/4 of the team. As there were only about a dozen of us there they ran right through us. I looked at the map and saw someone took SHGY causing the Horde to rez in their cave. I keep telling people, before you even think about taking SHGY, look at the map and see where the Horde will rez without it. If it is the relief hut or their cave, don't do it. People either don't listen, have a very short memory, or don't learn from their mistakes.
Another major problem we have is people standing on noob hill. That is the hill right in front of the entrance to Drek's lair. In one battle today, we had at least a half dozen people standing on noob hill and the east and west towers weren't capped... When the towers actually get started capping the people jump down, leaving them unguarded, and go stand on noob hill. The horde come in
every single time and recap them back. It usually takes 3 or 4 caps to get them to burn. People don't learn from that mistake either, they do it battle after battle. This is what makes me think the Alliance is made up mostly of children with ADHD.
On the plus side I am less than 750 kills away from my title.
I finally passed the 100,000 honorable kills mark on Wranngar tonight. I got the achievement 100000 Honorable Kills and my title "of the Alliance". Naturally I was fighting in Alterac Valley when this happened. We lost that one but I didn't care, it was the turtle that got me the final kills I needed. About 180 HK's in that battle.
