Alterac Valley - Daily Battleground 12/26/09

Today my daily battle was Alterac Valley which happens to be my favorite battleground. I did it on Wranngar and it took 7 battles to get a win which isn't too good. I did get a lot of kills though from the turtles.

The Alliance still isn't doing too well in there. I took a few days off from the battlegrounds because I was disgusted with all the people in there trying to do the stupid Gnome achievement, With a Little Helper from My Friends. For a lot of them it is the first time they have every been in a battleground and it really shows. They are only in there to get their 50 HK's for the achievement and don't care about winning. As a matter of fact they are happier when we turtle because they can just stand back and let other people farm their kills for them. They don't want to enter combat because if they die they lose their costume and don't get the kills towards the achievement. On the plus side they usually leave right after they die. It will be like this until after the new year when the achievement ends.

We had quite a few battles that started off way off balance, with the horde outnumbering us by 2 to 1 or more. By the time that balances out the battle has already been decided. The Horde are rushing Vann now, they are not waiting for towers to cap, because it is a pretty sure win for them. The Alliance can't work together as a team so they can't do that. The Horde aren't Blitzing every time like they were, they are taking their time so all of them can get there, but it doesn't matter when the Alliance is scattered everywhere doing their own thing.

I collected 19g86s, 1241 bonus honor and 25 arena points for completing my daily.

I am hoping it will go back to normal after the new year.
