I only got to fight in on Alterac Valley battle on
Wranngar tonight, it was a loss.
There are still a lot of people in there doing the
With a Little Helper from My Friends achievement and I will be cutting back on fighting in there until after the Holidays and they all clear out. Things should be back to normal after that with the Alliance winning most the time.
We had a typical battle, about half the team went straight to Frostwolf Keep and started FWGY, the East and West Towers capping along with the Relief Hut. The people that killed Drek started IBT and TP capping as well as IBGY. There were 5 or 6 Horde waiting in Galv to try and wipe us but it didn't work. I usually don't bother going right to Drek unless someone posts a game plan. If no one does that then there is no reason as everyone will be doing their own thing, not that posting a game plan really affects that. Of course the AFK we AFKing in the cave as usual, we reported them and had them kicked as usual.
After Galv I headed down to Frostwolf and we were doing pretty good, had the Relief Hut capped, the Towers were capping then someone capped SHGY... The Horde poured into FWK from their cave and wiped us out. This happens altogether too often, I guess people are never going to learn or think before they cap that graveyard. Before capping that you have to look at the map, everyone has access to the map, and see what we have capped, capping, and where the Horde are going to rez. If they are going to rez in the cave and we don't have at least east and west towers capped, don't do it. It's not rocket science but so many people can't seem to get it right.
After the capping of SHGY the Horde took FWK and moved on to take IBT and TP which caused a turtle. We naturally lost that as the Horde have the advantage in most turtles, unless we have a good group which we did not, because of the choke point at IWB. Instead of a win it turned into a half hour loss. I would like to think whoever capped SHGY learned something but I know they didn't and will do it again in the future.
Strand of Ancients was my daily battleground today. I fought in 4 battles on Wranngar 3 losses and a draw which might as well be a loss when you are trying to do your daily. We just had some really bad groups. It wasn't a matter of the Horde dominating in there, they were not that good either, the groups I was in just sucked. I logged off Wranngar with the intention of logging back on later to complete it when I would be in a different group of people but never got back to it.
There was no teamwork, people were all over the place doing their own thing. I think they were farming kills or something. There was one guy that just rode back and forth on his chopper, he didn't get off it until I told everyone to report him AFK. I would say less than half the team knew what they were doing and were actually trying. It is too bad, this is a battleground we usually do well in, it usually takes me no more than 2 battles to complete my daily.
