There is a current boycott for AV in effect until bliz makes the necessary changes to balance it. Why are you queuing and contributing to the problem?
Its mostly horde saying they are winning cause of skill and alliance saying they are losing cause of provable and verified map inequalities.
Who is right? Well considering in later patches Bliz moved horde cave I’d say alliance are right
Oh this nonsense again. You know better than citing the horde cave moving without also acknowledging that it only happened after they completely redesigned the win condition of the map.

Its mostly horde saying they are winning cause of skill and alliance saying they are losing cause of provable and verified map inequalities.
And thats not what is being said at all. What is being said is the Alliance are losing because they have like 25% of their team not playing the game.
A lot of it is definitely attitude. The design just gives the defeatist alliance excuses (cave, choke, what not… sure, but w/l would be at most 30/70 given that, at most! I’d say more like 40/60)
As an example:
Yesterday, was in a winning AV (we do actually win, I’d say after the bans it is around ~10%).
Anyway, we owned all GYs and horde had burnt only 1 tower. Horde fought us the whole way and just after an hour into the game we managed to finally get a charge that allowed some stealth to sneak cap RH. We also had summoned IVUS about 10 minutes prior. I figured a win was going to happen in the next 5-10…
LOL, nope! It took many charges at RH and some alliance got all miffed and started to complain, whine and call out the raid lead (who happened to be crushing in KBs and HKs, and was leading the charges). Egos… yep egos and not wanting to deal with tough PvP lead to a series of horrible crap/decisions/whatever… like 15 were at RH and someone in the 15 decided to pull 2 WMs as we were fighting horde as the rest of alliance went off to do… stuff I still have no idea what or why…
Horde tagged every GY and long story short, I was last man standing at RH when Horde retook it and we all, ALL, respawned at the alliance base.
Egos, whining and bad attitudes literally snatched victory from us.
All you can do is laugh and /afk out, like about 15 of us did over the next minute.
==> Too many alliance just want easy mode and if they don’t get it they just whine and complain and ruin it for everyone else. It is pathetic. Hopefully over time the crybabies gtfo of AV.
Not wasting my time embarssing something that 75% of the other players cry about and afk out.
Not wasting my time.
I play Horde in Retail. I love AV. I hate Q times. So here I rolled Alli.
Short Q times (for AV) are not worth the headache of people that dont TRY to pvp.
No one wants to hear about your voyeuristic fantasies.
Well, too bad.

I don’t know many, you got guys like Sambouki here insisting that you’re blowing the issue out of proportion.
LOL
You have got to be kidding.
You’re cherry picking statements from Alliance players and attempting to twist what they are saying to suit your tribalism.
Okay. Let’s just say that guy is right. Let’s go ahead and pretend that what he says is accurate.
Why do you think people would give up?
Is it because the horde are better at pvp…as a 40 man raid…aoe grinding gys…
…
…or maybe the map is busted and the alliance players are demoralized due to the nature of that advantage?
Alliance players aren’t appealing to you to get a level playing field. We absolutely know your faction plays the baby mode version of AV.
Someone needs to eat a Snickers.
Right. When called out on your complete lack of substance, just say silly things.
If pointing out your baby rage and the massive chip on your shoulder as you enter any and all conversations is silly, then yes. I’m super silly.
You’re just a massively dishonest person attempting to veil your contempt for other people with wordy posts. The difference between us is I intend to tell you that you’re wrong, you know you’re wrong; and you are completely irrelevant.

Why do you think people would give up?

You are also taking a shot at really a really large amount of psychological analysis that you clearly aren’t qualified for.
Kettle.

you are completely irrelevant.
Why are you so angry? Who hurt you? I may not be a psychologist (I’m a developer, remember when you suggested sarcastically that I was a developer, and it turned out I was? That was hilarious!), but I would strongly suggest seeing one post-haste.
Carrying around that much angst and bile over a video game can’t possibly be healthy. But what do I know, I’m no psychologist.

You mean
It turned out that you said you were.
You posted earlier that you don’t play AV. So you have absolutely no claim on credibility. You are here to promote tribalism and troll.
I’m not angry at all. There is an issue and people like you are running around spouting off with “lolgitgud” and expect anyone to actually take you seriously.
Since we’re going over the subject of my past posts, we can probably also surmise that:
- I used to play AV heavily, prior to meta switch.
- I play AV whenever I need to cap out for the week and only have a few thousand honor left and it’s not worth hopping into a WSG with a premade and needing to AFK out mid-game to avoid busting caps.
- The fact that you cannot grasp points 1 & 2, tells me you are not a serious PvPer.
Given 3, we can then enjoy the delicious irony that is the fact that a casual player trying to assume a stance of superiority and claim another player is “irrelevant” compared to your own earthshaking expertise.

“lolgitgud”
Again, you’re pulling this out of shadows. If you’re seeing hostility and offense in every corner, maybe what you should really be seeking is that psychiatrist you keep going off about.
I just want what’s best for you bud. You deserve to be happy.
Yo sensi, can we try to win AV?
You can if you believe you can.
Sambouki does not believe he can. Help me help him believe.

maybe what you should really be seeking is that psychiatrist you keep going off about.
At this point you are just being aggressively stupid.

This is like reading an article where actual context and words are purposefully omitted.
