Battlegrounds 7/30/08

I only did battlegrounds today. I did them on Wranngar. I did 14 battles in AV, 8 wins, 6 losses. AV was the daily battleground today too, I got that out of the way on the second battle. Jacedic fought in a couple of them with me, I think we had two wins and one loss while he was there. The Alliance wasn't doing too bad overall but the AFK's are killing us. We had a couple battles where almost half our team was AFK, Blizzard needs to do something about this problem instead of just saying they are doing something about it. It is hard to believe they are doing anything about it when you see the same people AFK day after day, week after week, it is sad. For the most part the strat that seemed to be working today was rush FWGY then move forward and backwards and cap towers and GY's. The strat that continues not to work is take and hold SHGY, we lost a couple due to that and a couple more due to people going for Galv first. We won one battle on reinforcements and the rest killing Drek so I got some pretty good honor out of it. We only had a couple battles, one was where almost half the team was AFK, where we didn't get any towers and almost no honor. The Horde won most of their battles on reinforcements as they usually do, that is due to AV still being unbalanced even after Blizzard "fixed" it. Anyway I got some good honor and a lot of kills along with the 11g99s and Alterac Valley Mark's of Honor which I have to let expire in my mailbox because I can't carry anymore.

Battlegrounds 7/29/08

I fought in a few battles on Wranngar today. I did one Arathi Basin which was my daily, we won the first one I was in, and 7 AV's, 4 wins, 3 losses. The Alliance was having a pretty good day in AV :). In Arathi Basin we went out and 4 capped at the start, ST, LM, GM & BS, then we lost the GM and got the Farm. After that we went back and got the GM at the cost of the BS but we got the BS back too for a 5 cap. We had the Horde trapped in their spawn GY and kept them there. The resources click off really fast when you have a 5 cap and it was over in no time. It took less than 10 minutes and I got 11g99s, 419 quest honor, on top of the honor I got from the battleground, and 3 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor. The Arathi Basin Marks came in handy as I picked up Merciless Gladiator's Dragonhide Tunic today for 14,500 honor and 30 Arathi Basin Mark of Honor. I had plenty in the bank but nothing wrong with replenishing the supply.

In AV we were having a good day. We won one of the battles on reinforcements and the rest killing Drek. One was a Blackrock pre-made and that was a quick one, the others we mostly used the rush FWGY then move forward to FWRH while some moved backwards for IBT & TP. Then we would get the East & West Frostwolf Towers down and move in and kill Drek. As usual there were a lot of AFK in the battles I was in, no change there. We got Galv in most of the battles so I ended up getting some pretty good honor out of them.
