Eye of the Storm - Daily Battleground 2/20/10

Eye of the Storm was the daily battleground today. I tried to do it on Brieanna but gave up after 5 consecutive losses. Five is the most times I will fight in a battleground to get my daily done. I have heard people, especially in EoS and AB, say they are on their 21st or 28th or so trying to get their daily done. Not me.

This is another battleground the Alliance used to dominate. I have most the achievements on Wranngar and Gomorra from then. I think I have one on Brieanna, the win EoS. I think that is probably the only one I was in that won too.

I was in one fail group after another. About half way through one of them I said "You people do realize that 3 towers beats the flag every time right?". I got responses like "No duh" and "No kidding". Everyone knows it apparently but no one does it. Every group I am in is 60% or more Flagtards. A Flagtard is someone who can only see the flag. They can't see that we don't even have a node to bring it to, they are focused solely on that flag. When you have 60% or more of your team in the middle of the battleground trying to get the flag, you are losing all your nodes because you have no one to defend them. That is pretty much how every battle goes. When you come off the rock and see 3/4 of your team heading for the flag you've lost already. Another case of people having no clue what needs to be done.

More Alterac Valley - 2/20/10

I fought in 30 more battles in Alterac Valley on Brieanna tonight, 9 wins and 21 losses. I have about given up on AV, good groups are few and far between. I will have to find another battleground to fight in, one where we win more if one exists. Constantly losing is getting old. This is a battleground we used to dominate and now we can hardly win.

The main problem with Alliance in this battlegroup is lack of teamwork and total lack of understanding what needs to be done. I mean it is hard to even believe these people are trying. You can't get more than 2 people into a tower, even when the Horde are turtling and everyone is screaming to cap the towers, they will scream to do it, but they won't stay in them and defend them even though they know the Horde are going to send in 6 to 8 people to take it back...

We had a bunch more failed Blitz's tonight, people calling out for a Blitz without checking to see if we have a good tank or heals, then finding out when we are all there that we do not. In the case where we do have a good tank and heals the tank usually runs in and attacks Drek when there are only a few people there instead of waiting until everyone that is coming gets there. That results in the tank dying pretty quick. People just don't think. I hate to think what kind of people these are in real life if they can not think out something as simple as AV. I do realize there are a lot of kids that play Alliance but not all of them are kids.

Alterac Valley - 2/19/10

The Alliance is doing terrible in Alterac Valley. I don't know what the problem is in this battleground the Alliance used to dominate but we can't seem to win anything in there anymore. I fought in 30 battles on Brieanna, 10 wins and 20 losses.

People will not work together in there. I was in so many failed Zerg's and Blitz's I lost count. In battle after battle people would agree to a Blitz then, after the gates opened, someone would start spamming a different plan. The majority of the Alliance players are not too bright to begin with and that is all it takes to create mass confusion. Now you have two people trying to out spam each other with two different plans and everything just falls apart. In a zerg, when we actually start with 40 players assuming QQ pre-mades doesn't screw up the queues, we are lucky to get 10 people that actually make it to Drek. That number goes down considerably with the less players we have. That's another thing too, these zerg happy idiots will still call out for a zerg even if we only have 15 players. Out of 15 players you are lucky if 4 make it to Drek.

Galv is another major factor in losses. It does not matter if there are 30 Horde players standing right in front of Galv, the Alliance will just ride right in there and get slaughtered. They do it time and time again even though they are told his room is packed full of Horde. You see, Galv is a Tard magnet and they really can't help themselves.

Needless to say most battles end up with us turtled in Dun Baldar for the long slow loss. I really want to transfer to another server in a different battlegroup.
