Why We Sometimes Want To Reroll Horde
And what’s really sad is that we had Drek at 38% when we lost. If this guy had actually helped do anything, we might have won.
The raid leader was a level 65 mage who made biscuits for the raid in the tunnel. Just goes to show that level means nothing.
And for those of you on Nordrassil, you have our sympathy.

yeah! join us in the dark side… umm, i mean horde!
btw, if retardeds and ballons were the same thing, Asklepios would be invited to every single birthday party
Sadly, you get that whether your Alliance or Horde.
Oy, that’s kinda sad…
Sorry Moka…there are just as many horde nitwits as alliance. And in 19 BGs there are more…
I’ll gladly gank him if he’s around flagged. (Proud Nordrassil Horde reporting in.)
Alternate title: Why We Love The Report Spam Button.
But in seriousness, I never understood why everyone I read hated pug BGs, then I rerolled Alliance. Hoooooooooleeeeee crap. I pretty much report everyone for spam these days.
lolz i hate tards like taht….my bud came back from a hiatus…with duro footgear…and lots of greens, some dude was giving him crap for those, along with other ppl, then he destrotyed the KB’s and dps meter for the entire round

As much as I hate people who whine and shit during a BG, having ONE player who obviously isn’t any good would NOT get Drek down 38%. And you’ll say, “we’ll, he could have played defense or held a tower” but I think everyone that has ever done an AV would know that one person can’t do shit alone.
I’d love a /votekick mechanism in BGs. They have one in Counter-Strike…. and it’s magically delicious.
Horde contains exactly the same sort of people.
“No matter which side are you on, there will always be someone that makes you wish you were on the other side.”
On my server (Sen’Jin), that is the MAIN reason I don’t play alliance! Yes, Horde side has there share of twits but Ally’s are by far worse there….bunch of whiney little 11 year olds…..
Quoted for TRUTH:
“No matter which side are you on, there will always be someone that makes you wish you were on the other side.”
@ Rav that is an awesome quote.
I have to tell ya that Horde has the same type of juvenile behaviour. Got to remember that the supposedly median age is 14 years old!
I also love teh morons with awesome honour-purchased gear who just stealth in towers or just auto run in the tunnel, afk-ing through out the game… whilst the whole frostwolf base is a-blaze with alliance ….
Sometimes it is just the one person who can help out… I do remember keeping at bay 4 alliance toons with the help of a L33T healer but we just got overwhelmed…. then i notice a 70 feral druid, stealthed by the tree next to FWGY just enjoying the view… I so hate players like that.
Eugh. Had a similar situation the other day in Basin. I normally skip AB unless I’m with friends or (as was the case) it was the daily.
We were in a tight game – switching between 2 and 3 flags capped. With a little over 1200 victory points, it looked like we might be able to pull the game out.
Some loser keeps complaining in BG chat that, “We lost. Just let them have the bases.” I keep looking back and forth from my mod that says “Alliance Wins: 12:53″ and “We’re gonna lose! Just give up!” So frustrating!
Then, he apparently stood there while the Horde capped the Stables. Perfect example of where one person could make a difference, if he just defended a flag for 10 seconds.
On the other hand, I rolled a Horde character, leveled him to 70, and found that our teams often sucked just as much. Turns out it’s just the whole battlegroup, not only the Alliance.
Voting to kick would be awesome. Reporting AFK in AV isn’t an effective deterrent. You still see at least 3-4 AFK per match on the Alliance side. And there’s absolutely no way to fix that, unless the AFKers are kicked out and real players are brought in.
Don’t want – do
If only as a 29 twink (skip the 19s to save yourself from endless anguish) – you’ll enjoy it thoroughly.
Wow…. this is one of those things that makes me appreciate the people I play with even more. Poor kid, I’ll bet he makes himself more miserable than he makes anyone else.
I feel your pain.
When I PvP to fill in gaps in my PvE gear I don’t want to waste time with people botting or going on like tool-beaters of epic proportion. AB with 3 people AFK/botting means 12v15… I don’t like em odds.
I play a Mutilate-spec rogue, and only have marginal PvP gear. Solo in a BG is hard on me, let me tell you. With a little help, the pain I can deliver to a similarly geared toon as mine frightening. If half of the 3-5 people that seem to do nothing every AV were out and about perhaps I’d end up surrounded by dead alliance and live horde less often.
As BRK says, dieing is not so bad, as long as its getting your faction closer to a win. Every healer I get within a whisper of death before I get ganked is one less healer supporting the enemy offensive.
Cheers,
Larv.
(70 rogue, 70 mage, 67 hunter, 47 war…etc)
Mass report AFK him…
makes him get kicked out ;]
teh alternative for a real /kick command
Trust me, the Horde can be just as bad. My favorite was when, less than 15 seconds into one Arathi Basin match, with not a single node capped yet, people started declaring we’d lost. Or the time some guy in AV freaked out because we decided to take out the Alliance reinforcements instead of downing Vann, despite the fact that there were only five of us on offense because he and his premade and all the AFKers stayed behind.
Although, um, it’s entirely possible someone, maybe even me, might have once or twice or seven times asked those people if they were Alliance rerolls. And it’s also entirely possible that they may have confirmed this hypothesis every time but one. *cough*
I very rarely PvP with my Hunter or any of my toons for that matter but when I do I haven’t run into many people who are like that.
However, i can sympathise with those saying that very soon in to a BG people are declaring it a loss. Surely part of the fun is the challenge? Or maybe i am jst a silly PVE Huntard
Nothing more than attention seekers who enjoy the come backs
/ignore
Get on with the fun…:o)
I don’t BG much, but when I do I refuse to meekly admit defeat. Even when it’s blindingly obvious that we’re going to lose, I can kill one more ally, get one more HK, and make their victory just that little bit less sweet and our loss a little bit less painful. (Muwahahahaha!)
Besides, sometimes you aren’t necessarily going to lose.
One AB I was in, we were doing fairly badly and there was this idiot going off in all caps, about how everyone except him was useless, hopeless, a bunch of [insert expletives] worthless know-nothings who e-bayed their accounts and should all just quit so people who knew how to play their classes could join the BG and help him win. He got told to shut up (a lot), it was suggested that more fighting and less typing might help our cause more than insults, and then someone actually pulled up the BG stats and pointed out that the screaming guy had the second worst kill/death ratio and the lowest damage done of anyone in the BG. BG chat scrolled really fast with a whole bunch of LOLs after that. 
So, screaming guy left the BG, we all heaved a sigh of relief, and the BG leader suggested that perhaps we could now go kill allies, cap flags, and see if it was still winnable. Turned out it was – and at one point, when someone got frustrated at a flag being lost and started ranting, I put in “Now, now, you don’t want to sound like [screaming guy] now do you?” They laughed, we recaptured the flag, we won.
Tell the truth BRK I love BG’s when we are winning and not whining.
But those are few and far between in AV for my server.
As has been stated (refer to all post above) both sides have there QQs and /suicide spammers.
But as MelRedcap posted there is nothing more satisfying then looking up to the DPS meter and pointing out the guy spamming being lowest on DPS and HPS but the top on deaths…meaning he is now giving FREE honor to opposite side…. So next time you see that guys screaming ” GET ON D” or “GREAT D EVERYONE>>YOU SUCK”
just ask him …..why are you not at D or even better yet ask him/her why they are still in cave…tends to shut them up quick
Happy hunting there!!!!!
I turned off BG chat. Ahh serenity.
Same stuff happens on the horde side, trust me.
However, playing alliance for 3 years, and switching to horde makes it such sweet revenge to kill them.
Aside from the whiny dude, I’m not seeing a thing wrong with this picture.
*blink*
Oh, wait, alliance team. Man, that’s gotta suck.
…Yeah, Whirlwind US 51-60 does so well for the Horde that for the longest time I had no clue who Drek was…
While grinding honor for a nice Frostwolf Mount, for my priest, I had the pleasure of being part of an AV group with Mr. Here’s the Plan Everyone. Sure the plan could have worked but nobody thought that. We propmtly lost as everyone went they’re own way. Next round, oh look the same guy is back. He tells us his plan and half of us tell him it won’t work. I get a reply, “Shut up priest, why are you level 63, get out of here.” To which I reply, “Who heals you?”
Later in this match I find this great leader of ours stand outside the horde base, no clothes, dancing around. I call him a hypocrite and he begins to bash me, dies, and leaves the BG. We win after that and enjoy our points and badges.
As BRK has written before, enjoy the BGs for the battle and take what you get from them as you will.
What a complete and utter moron.
I *loathe* PvP and players like that one makes that an even more unpleasant experience.
Cmon over, BRK!
Roll a Horde and You’ll Never Be Bored
; – )
why does everyone always think the horde is so much better on maturity that plays alliance? Kids are equal on both sides, almost more on horde because they like the undead and Orcs. It is just always going to be “the grass is always greener on the other side” situations. A piece of crap player is always going to be on both sides.
I play 70s on both sides, diff. servers. Asshats on both sides, at all levels.
I once entered an AB in progress where our side was down by about 1000 pts and had one cap. Everyone was bailing. I kept playing as did a small core. Suddenly a bunch of folks got dumped in who were committed. I was amazed when we not only caught up but eventually won the damn thing. Shows you what’s possible when everyone is in it for reals AND cooperates as a group.
But of course that’s one experience out of hundreds. *sigh*
I wish we could force a public label over the heads of AFKers…something that stuck for, oh, say a week. heh heh. public humiliation FTW
I just never understood why these people even queue up. I’m sorry that I don’t agree with this guy’s philosophy of just let them. I just wish there was a quicker way of kicking these people from the BG then marking them as AFK. Marking them AFK will eventually kick them but not soon enough in my opinion. As it’s been mentioned some sort of vote to kick a person or maybe even a system check to boot people who’ve been kicked out previously for AFKing.
Yeah, but that AFK reporting button can be a real nuisance at times, too.
Take, for instance, an AV I was in today (of which I’m on the Alliance side – OH JOY!). Not even 30 seconds before the gates even OPENED, a guy in the AV was screaming for everyone to report AFK anyone who wasn’t immediately rushing to Drek.
This just happened to be fine and dandy for me, because I had just recently discovered the quest in Vaan’s room to kill Drek (Yeah, go figure, been playing for almost three years and I *just* now find out there’s a quest for it! Woo! >.>). So there I run off, to Vaan’s room, to turn in the quest – I had completed it the last AV – and before I even GET to him, I see that little red debuff pop up on my UI.
Oh yes. I had just been reported AFK for taking a thirty second detour to turn in a quest.
Naturally, I vent on BG chat about it – as any sensible Alliance whiner would, of course – and, come to find out, I wasn’t the only one that was getting reported. Another rogue who went to cap the mine got reported. Someone who ran to Snowfall GY got reported. Two people who sat in Icewing Bunker on our team to guard it? Yep, them too.
And not only were the people who reported AFK complaining about it on BG chat (including me, ‘cuz really…who wouldn’t at this point), but we were RIDICULED by everyone else in the BG about being reported. “Oh, look, the afk’ers are whining, keep reporting ‘em, everyone, so we can get ‘em kicked!” “Go cry somewhere else, noob” etc.
The report AFK button is nice, but…seriously, it’s there for legitimate reasons, not for scrubs to vent their puberty-spurred ragings on everyone else. >.>”
@Rumcake
That actually happened to me and about five other people one game also. We were defending when some jerk said, “Report everyone in the Frostwolf Graveyard AFK!” (Because there were some AFKers who’d died in an Alliance rush of the cave just sitting there.)
Of course, since the offense hadn’t capped any graveyards but Stormpike, where were the defenders going when they died? :-/ So we all got reported when we were actually helping the team win.
Every AV I’m (Horde) in about 5 minutes in people start screaming “WE LOST GG LOSERS!” and this goes on the rest of the match. Every time.
And then there’s the people that complain that you’re not using their strategy, even when you’re winning.
If it weren’t for the people I’d enjoy pvp.
*sigh* I sometimes Emberstorm wasn’t filled with idiots.
Landed in a great EOTS yesterday where a Drenden premade pushed out all the idiots from Rivendare and Hydraxis that usually show up.
Report everyone in the tunnel, prior to the doors opening. Then you got a leg up on the idiots.
BRK, roll horde on QD, I’ll give you 40 gold….
For 99 Light Feathers.
Holy Elune…Makes me just want to randomly make a gnome and randomly /moon that dorkwad…
Nordrassil Horde Hunter reporting. This is a Horde heavy realm. Owned “Eye of the Storm” last night. Saldy beat the Alliance… about 800’s to 2000… Took all towers & controlled the flag…
The guy is a resto Druid.
Shame on him letting his team die instead of helping them hold back the Horde
I swear to gawd….alliance BGs on Nightfall are the suckiest bunch around. If Blizz would let me change my hunter to horde tomorrow, I would be there.
We lost an AB tonight by 150, which we led up til 1800 all the way. As I head to GM and see only ONE horde and try to cap it before the second one comes…..which I almost pulled off before time ran out, I saw a stealthed feral from OUR side just standing on the ramp down…..afk obviously. All they had to do, was go down and beat the little horde and cap the flag, and we could’ve won easily. This is the kinda crap that ticks me off!
WSG…..and EotS for that matter, all the retards want to do is “fight in the middle”!!!! And since they suck and are undergeared compared to the horde we fight, they get toasted while we lose the match….over, and over, and over, and over.
I basically give up on doing the daily, unless it’s AV. In AV, if I play 6 or 7, I can manage at least one victory. AB, WSG, and EotS, no way.
It’s like I am playing with the short bus students every time.
I don’t raid, but if these are the same people you find in raids and instances…..I would hate to see a repair bill. It’s like they don’t even know what WASD does. I can picture them now, /faceroll to victory!
AB – They don’t know how to balance offense and defense and typically zerg around. Sure, they capture something, but Horde took whatever they just left. There’s no concept of shifting defenses to weak points or sitting there and guarding a flag that’s being capped.
EOTS – Fighting in the middle, constantly. Attempting to defend a tower but not even being in the cap radius leading to it being stolen underneath your feet.
AV – Going Galv before IBGY and getting turtled out. Congrats, you killed Galv. Maybe you even got IBT. But that’s all you got, mouth breathing ‘tards. =/
WSG – Again, zerging into the middle. Offense doesn’t know how to ride past the zerg or stick to the sides and go up ramp.
I actually won 3/5 av matches yesterday as alliance, yes my jaw dropped and I logged because I knew it would only get frustrating from there. Our group also does pretty good in wsg which surprises me but ab is still a total loss and eots is usually also.
AB is the only daily I don’t at least try anymore, the rest I will try and make.
It has been very frustrating that it is taking the alliance so long to adjust to the changes to av which made it not an easy win for alliance. I think the horde do have slight advantages now but if the alliance would realize they have to use a different strategy it is very winnable still.
That looks like Horde chat in EotS and WSG.
