Daily Battleground 5/18/08

The daily battleground today was Alterac Valley. I did it on Wranngar. We won the first battle I was in. We won by rushing FWRH and capping the towers on the way. Then we killed Drek, the Horde weren't even close to Vann when we downed him. We had a pretty good group and I stayed in for a few more battles, 9 all together. We won 3 and lost 6. The AFK problem is still there and getting worse. Now the AFKers are actually defending what they are doing lol. They are trying to argue that if they are actually at their keyboard they are not AFK even though they are not doing anything, pretty sorry bunch the AFKers are. We had a couple turtles and a couple battles where people went for Galv first. I don't know what the fascination is with him but he has cost us a lot of battles. Going for Galv first is an almost guaranteed loss. We only won one battle on reinforcements and the other 2 we downed Drek. The Horde won all but 2 of their battles on reinforcements. The reinforcements were definitely put there to allow the Horde to win, one look at the map and the placement of towers/bunkers confirms that. The daily battleground pays 11g99s and 419 honor.
