Alterac Valley Adjustments Incoming

TBH, anyone that posts starting like this shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Thanks for them stats though.

Except cross realm BG’s were in the Vanilla 1.12 patch.

I’ll wait while you nail down the sources of your absurd claims and post actual data. Burden of proof is on you.

If you’re too lazy to visit the website that’s not my issue.

At no point during vanilla were cross realm BGs a pool of entire regions, and 1.12 was the butt-end of vanilla.

Well, yeah. In fact it is a you issue, if you are making the claims.

And I supported it with a link for you to look at.
If you refuse to read the source material then why would I even bother copying and pasting the info inside.

Come on now, you can’t actually use logic and think anybody will be ok with it.

No thank you. No changes please.

Or got lied about and booted out of the game
(Yes, when you report someone for a game violation when there is none and get them booted out of game and also chat banned just to try and get your premade in, it makes you a liar)

Oh for petes sakes

Cross-Realm Battlegrounds

For the first time in the history of World of Warcraft, you will be able to face off against players from other realms in the Battlegrounds. PvP Battlegrounds link Alterac Valley, Warsong Gulch, and Arathi Basin so that players from several realms will be combined into one huge matchmaking pool. Replenish your mana, sharpen your blades, and get ready for some brand-new challengers!

Just give us Don Rodrigo’s band man. I quit playing AV at exalted a week after it came out.

LOL the alliance self-delusion and victim complex is just off the charts.

Stonetalon Mountains is lvl 15 to 27 (source: vanilla-wow.fandom .com/wiki/Zones_by_level ) and that and every other zone afterwards are all contested.

Alliance enter a contested zone at 21, Horde get to choose to stay in the Barrens (but there are plenty levelling in STM, Ashenvale and Hillsbrad) and can defer entering a contested zone until 26. Big whoop.

about itme!! thx

How?
Are you saying there is already an exploitative work-around so you can continue to full premade cheat?

Seems to be a butt ton of confusion about what was or was not in AV at any given point in time in vanilla

You can read through the entire history, this capture is from November 2005, you can view all of them to see how and when it changed throughout Vanilla

Notice this excerpt

Find a Group
Alterac Valley is all about teamwork. Make sure you are in the general channel (type “/join general”), where allied players often communicate the latest news about the battle. Players also usually join together in a raid group. Ask to join the raid group in general chat. If one does not exist, you might consider starting your own raid group and asking other players to join.

Now go read and stop trying to beat each other up

This is like a bandaid on a gaping head wound.

Horde will still outnumber Alliance severely across the board. Horde will go from losing in 6 minutes in AV to a premade, to getting farmed at the GY and getting 3-0 capped in WSG, getting 0 honor for their time and effort.

The fast queues will ultimately lead to Alliance premading to maximize honor/hr.

This isn’t the standard Blizzard is going by, nor should it be.

The current version of AV is fine. The only problem we’re having are player-created issues. If you play the map as it should be played, it’s quite a bit of fun.

Lol you crazy kids are too funny. Retail here we come.

Just waiting for this to be fixed

Every game I’m in has some horde doing this.

Nice, just in time for me to start on my Silverwing Sentinels rep.

EDIT: In all seriousness, though, Horde can also premade WSG. That’s a big difference.
