How long is this going to be ignored by Blizzard? I had high hopes for Classic and so far I am really enjoying it, but with this being the norm makes me really worried for how things will be with classic in the future.

Not much they can do though

But it’s not the norm…
Out of over 1,000 AVs I’ve been in solo Q, not including the 1st 2 days, 90% of them have been Horde wins. The 6-9min Drek rushes are only done by a specific group of people, and we rarely encounter them.
So for every Drek Rush, there’s like 5-10 other AVs being lost to Horde.

Its fine just do your chores between AVs.
Tell your teams that Bal+LTs then recall is a crap strat when you know its a premade. Try putting 30 plus in the IB choke with an emphasis on their heals.
Probably still lose a lot of those but it will last longer than 6-7 minutes.

I agree. I’ve stopped AVs because I tried 15 last week and not a single time did horde win cause of drek rushing. Them being able to pull drek without adds is kind of annoying. 30+ minute queues for a 6-10 minute fight loses the appeal. Queues keep getting higher and higher cause of it.

What are you worried about? Why?

Yeah, AV is a sh!t show and it is sadly the only way you can compete if you want to rank up.
Those saying “go do dungeons” or “go do WSG” don’t know we already have everything from dungeons and know that doing WSG would mean losing rank vs others doing the AV runs.
If AV isn’t fixed, then I forsee game dying.

The game won’t die just because PvPers get their panties in a twist. The game is more than just the PvP crowd, you know.

PVPers that are pushing rank are doing so because they like gear. Be it from PVE or PVP content… I like doing both. So people who want the best of the best don’t like things and they quit. Simple.
it is what it is this is classic wow the players make how the game is.
blame the player base.
i play vanilla from day 1 and all patch and this is really not a vanilla experience
my opinion classic is only a cash grab and blizzard dont have a lot of dev working on this game , they like more to work on expension $$$ but blizzard dont realize a lot of player dont give a crap of retail , anyway blizzard is a most dead for me if this issue is not fix , anyway a lot of great game coming this year

You can respect the #nochange by simply put a former version of AV

It’s not a private server experience. And of course, the playerbase is quite different from what was around during Vanilla. And, if you did play during Vanilla and now, you’re much older, and more experienced now.
And sure there are some other differences, but the actual spell behavior, boss mechanics, etc. are as authentic as the world has ever seen.

I’ve run into so many of these today. it’s the alliance AV discord premades (of course) and the only way to fix this is to remove the number which Blizzard will not do. If they were going to do this they would have already but they don’t care.
Horde can and do fight back by putting everyone on defense, the problem is that the honor number, if horde loses, goes down. I’ve seen as low as 400 honor when everyone defends. I’ve also seen us make the premades afk out of the game. It’ s a crapshoot.
Now the alliance premades will say that these fast games are good for everyone LOL yeah well 3k off of one of these games is a total honor per hour killer. If you get enough of them your HPH for the day tanks, like mine has today over it. There is nothing we can do though individually.

The Alliance pre-made rush relies on the horde fragmenting around the map and letting the Alliance get to the Horde base as a coordinated group.
What you need is a defensive spot that has one thoroughfare only, preferably supported by tower archers with a graveyard (with defenders up) tucked nicely behind it to allow dead players to rejoin the defense team rapidly. Also, what would be nice would be that a second tower is not too far back from said spot allowing more archer damage if any do get through. And the icing on the cake would be if you could step out of your start cave and pretty much be able to be in position to heavily defend said spot in 20-30 seconds.
I had heard of such a mythical spot but, according to many, apparently it is not on the map.

fixed it for you
Better question is how long will it be ignored by Horde? Simply LEARN TO USE IB CHOKE. Learn how to actually team fight on this choke and they will not be able to just zerg to base. The recall mindcancer meme is NOT EFFECTIVE. IB CHOKE IS.

Guildie played 25 AVs. 0-25. Every single game starts with 15-20 alliance. Group starts to fill after horde kills Bel.
