Now without meaning to brag, my gear simply doesn't warrant going to Karazhan so i gave my spot up to somebody else, headed straight to the Rogue trainer in Orgrimmar and respecced to my favourite pvp specc , 41/0/20, that's right folks, Mutilate a rather epic build for fooling around in a battleground, and great for killing lower resilience targets.
So equipped with my off-specc weapons (emerald ripper and the blade of unrequited) i jump straight into the steady stream of pvp that is Arathi Basin (with the hellish ques of course, this is the misery battle group).
My one aim in pvp at the moment is rep with arathi basin, i have exalted with both warsong gulch AND alterac valley, so with the AB rep grind i should recieve an epic reward, The CONQUERER title. I have always been fond of distinguishing Quincey out from every other Undead male rogues, and Conquerer Quincey just has that epic feel to it that should set me apart. (Not that i don't like legionnaire Quincey of course)
as of about 3 o clock this after noon i was 3500 /21000, i figure 500 rep for the day wouldn't be a bad figure to aim for, so i set on out, and immediately wished i didn't, I'm not sure why it is, but Arathi basin seemed to be completely full of retards and leeches today, more so than normal. Maybe its because its a weekend, maybe its because season 3 is now in full swing and there are plenty of honor based rewards to be earned. I however have a different theory on why AB was so bad today, and it is to do with the recent changes to Alterac Valley.
We all know Alterac Valley is THE grind spot for pvp epics, go get your epics without actually pvping!, hell its where i grabbed most of mine as a casual pvp'er, but we all know this attracts a whole bunch of retards who generally cant pvp to save their life, literally. But this didn't matter, since both teams are equally retarded, it made for fair games, and in my experience the horde:alliance win ratio fairly equal.
The recent changes to Arathi Basin have seen this changed however, for those of you who don't know, in the latest "hot fix" The alliance captain, Balinda, and the alliance General Vandaar have had their HP buffed by a significant amount. In the case of Balinda, quite rightly so, but why Vandaar?
I have an answer quoted straight off an alliance druid on the pvp eu forums.
"Horde already win most games in AB, WSG, EOTS, of course they are going to make it easier for alliance to win one, lets us have one battleground for Christs sake"
Obviously i set him straight, informing him that ab,wsg and eots are identical maps, and no one side has the advantage, but it got me thinking.
Maybe Blizzard HAS thought about this more than i originally thought, they knew that the droves of retards would flock out of Alterac valley and into the other games, making the teamwork and general tactics that the horde used to employ in AB, WSG and EoTs to win a thing of the past, and in doing so giving the alliance a chance to win in THOSE battlegrounds too. It is an interesting concept and one id love to know if Blizzard considered when they made Alterac un-winnable for the horde, i also wonder if it is a good thing for the game overall, i have noticed a significant drop in the number of AV games on the misery battle group, maybe this could mean more people are going to have to PvP for their PvP epics, and maybe just maybe the droves of retards that AV has seemed to prouduced may actually learn a thing or two about not only their own class, but other classes too.
So in a bizarre twist, i Fully support the Buff the alliance got in AV, and welcome in open arms the idiots, retards and afk monkeys into my beloved AB, maybe it will bring in a brighter future for PvP. GG blizz
Quin.
EDIT
Wanted to prove my point a little so here is a screenshot of the map in the AB i JUST got out of
we already had 3 bases and a reasonable lead, defence was the best option as any season'd veterain of AB will tell you, but they still insisted on attacking every base under the sun, the sign of a true retard.
