5-6 hours to get a PvP Essence on 1 toon

Where to start. Let’s do the worst part first. Doing a PvP island expo.

I just randomly joined one of the 2-3 groups in LFG for it. Q times were literally 10-15 minutes long, then the actual expo itself takes another 15-20 minutes. Oh wait and then you lose. You lose bc …

-you got two 415 mythic geared potatoes doing less damage then you, the godamn healer.
-the only time I want someone to run through every mob and pull aggro, ur two partners attack one thing at a time and move so slow that’s it’s barely better than backwards
-the other team has a prot pally a rogue and a demon hunter that wont die before the five minutes it took to kill me.
-you fall behind 500 points and the rogue who hasn’t done a thing but “imma stealth harass them” leaves the group cuz he’s mad we’re down by 500.

Along with that I guess horde just lose every battleground now, and enjoy ur epic battleground those are self explanatory

Yeah let me just do that on my four or five other toons I wanna mess around with this season.

Thought the exact same thing this morning while in my 3rd epic BG loss. This is after 2 evenings of 20+ minute PvP island queues trying to get a win (pro tip: don’t try to PvP in these. Just get geared DH’s and Moonkins to play with you).

Why did they think it’s a good idea to only match Horde vs. Alliance for these? Haven’t they already learned their lesson with arena queues? So tilting.

Every person in horde random bgs is the worst player alive.

Have fun grinding the next level of that essence, which is 15,000 honor from PvP island expos/random BGs lol.
Just for laughs, the following trait is 50,000 honor

15k honor is about 2 honor levels. Thats not too bad.

Lost 5 epic bgs in a row.

Went Merc mode and insta win

Also this kind of pvp grinding is miserable

Mine was quick, maybe an hour and a half.

Didn’t pug the island though, that’s a bit redhot, Champion.

I’ll probably just stick to the Arena essence. 4 honor talents seems like it will always be good, plus I don’t have to do anything abnormal to get it

10

this would’ve been fun like 5 expansions ago when bgs weren’t actually infuriating.

Everything BIizz does is about making things take long for their stupid time played metric nonsense. It’s actually starting to affect pvp now. So pathetic.

I believe so. The requirement for the achievement “Battlefield Brawler” states from PvP Islands, Battlegrounds, Epic Battlegrounds and Brawls. I could be wrong

18

The honor from arenas not contributing even though it’s much much slower is a sad joke

Rbgs might contribute though, they do fulfill the BG weekly quest… Hopeful maybe

PvP Island Expos should’ve never made that list requirement. There’s no PvP there and everyone doing them is PvE geared out of their minds.
