Eh this isn’t my first rodeo on the forums by a long shot. For all the heated controversies and discussions on these boards over the last decade and a half, a tiny tiny tiny fraction bother to read them, let alone post on them.
The issue is mostly that this problem has been a growing problem for the last several weeks, and responses to them have been largely the same:
“PvP happened”
“git gud”
“Reroll”
A lot of folks will just make their single post/point, then move on, especially if the other side of the discussion is just a bunch of one-liner responses of the above. I can post a lot because I have an office job with lots of downtime between client calls and yelling at the government, so I have the freedom to banter this stuff while doing other things.
Plus it is kinda fun most days.
Perfect example I can give from last night’s attempts to get into Molten Core mostly unscathed. I had fun with this for the first time mostly because the Horde got sloppy and let me through.
I logged in 45min+ ahead of the raid time, landed in TP, got ganked the moment I landed, but they were some pretty terrible Warriors and Rogues, and I’m in 100% Feral Tank gear, so I actually made it decently far before finally dying. I go to rez, but now some Mages have shown up so I have to wait a bit, see if they get bored or distracted, that way I can rez far enough away to not get Fireblasted immediately and get to Cat-Prowl outside of AoE range as well. ~5 min and they rush down some poor Paladin and I pop up and Prowl. I managed to Prowl from the middle of Searing Gorge all the way to the MC entrance, where I died a 2nd time. It took about 15+ minutes of waiting out Flares and Magma Totems and hoping the Hunter/Shaman got ADD and forgot to place one down immediately, but I got down there, able to zone in after a res the moment I got raid invite.
Raid invite comes, I res, pop in, go get a drink. I went in solo because I’m still on a 60% mount, so I get picked off a bit easier when we ride in. My guild is formed up, but already dying in Morgan’s Vigil. Then about a dozen get killed midway to BRM. Then they all die. 25 minutes later we’re still sorta waiting, but we have enough inside to start trash.
And last night was quicker than usual, and we usually roll in with a second raid of Alliance.
The place is just plain off limits if you don’t bring a raid and its at any sort of semi-peak hour. I can go grind Silithus in relative peace, sorta, most days, but not much to do out there really.
