Two warlocks and a rant on AV and World PvP

So my Human warlock got to level 31, enchanted gold bloodrobe is pretty pro.  But didn’t work on him last night because of the super lag.  Played brawl until like 10:00, then just did AV a bunch on my gnome warlock.

I think I’m going to make my gnome a  PvP warlock (because of escape artist) and my Human a PvE guy.

Now, what the eff is with AV now-a-days?  Blizzard really screwed up.  So, like, AV was created with the intent of large scale Horde vs Alliance battles.  And that’s how it was, with large, 40 vs 40, 4+ hour battles, until some noob (probably Kalgan) decided to make the guards non-elite.  Now the object of AV is to avoid the opposing faction at all costs.  Run past and kill the leader.  Honestly that’s insanely gay.  I loved the long huge battles.  They were fun.  Now it’s all about honor.

Last night I had the best AV since they removed those guards.  Normally, at the start, Alliance and Horde rush to the opposing faction’s first commander and kill him.  This time though, Alliance was like “LOL SCREW YOU HORDE” and just sat in our commander’s base.   After that we pushed the horde back in a big ball-o-players and capped all the graveyards on the way down.  The horde kept the frostwolf relief hut, just because alliance wouldn’t cap it.  It was real PvP the way AV was intended.  Probably wouldn’t have even ended that fast if it wasn’t for the reinforcement points..  We won, and it was incredibly awesome.

And another thing, World PvP..  Pre-BC blizz tried to encourage it with objectives.  And they failed.   Blizzard just doesn’t get the objective of PvP.  PvP is for fighting players, not killing mobs to collect dust or capping towers or .  And the continued failing in BC in same manner, their slight redemption was the addition of buffs and the daily objectives.

My favorite kind of world PvP though, was the random encounters.  I mean coming across some noob horde riding along in Winterspring and roflpwning them.   Blizzard killed that in Outlands though, with the addition of Flying Mounts.  Now it’s 3-5 level 70’s dropping in on single level 60-67s.. which is pretty lame.

And I think I’ve written enough for now.  LATER DUDE.
