We really let them grab everything but our base. Collect blood and turn in for Lok'holar to be summoned. We tried to do it two bgs in a row. But the first BG we failed to understand how to summon him once we clicked the ground. People kept spam clicking and thus we reset the timer. But the second AV we had it down.
This is noble and that is what I initially thought Rathstrat was about and would encourage and get behind. What I experienced through the rage on these forums was that they just farmed kills game, after game, after game, rarely utilising the things that made Alterac Valley unique. Sure, they'd summon Lokholar every dozen games or so, but it was more about killing people in the cave or graveyard.
This ultimately lead to the reinforcements in AV being nerfed yet again - making those rare and beautiful games where you'd see some of the features utilised very, very difficult to achieve without a premade. Even getting upgraded armor scraps is an effort with 500 reinforcements.
Needless to say, I'd urge you to go your own route and make a group specifically for accessing old AV things. Get the wolf riders out, upgrade to champion, summon Lok. The demand is there. Don't make it another kill fest at graveyards and caves that leads to AV being nerfed again, please.
