I have a Justicar title on a paladin from Vanilla, when they were glorified healbots or just a meme before we knew what that was. I say this just to give a glimpse in where i am coming from when i say i LOVE pvp.
Wintergrasp is not fun, it’s insane. I very rarely give up, and usually roll my eyes when the negativity starts rolling in. in fact i fine that’s usually the best time to convince people to try something new, as they say what’s there to lose?
Last night i decided to be that person i wasn’t a fan of, the one who AFKs as soon as i find out i am on offense. so hopefully someone else can come in and suffer in my stead. I can tell you that i have only defended once in the last 3 months, but you wouldn’t believe me so who cares. I have seen a lot of neat ideas for fixes that could help make it fun again. But until it’s either deleted or changed i am going to risk having to do PvE content or RL for 15 minutes everytime i see that stupid bridge after the loading screen.
edit: btw, i didn’t proof read and i am too lazy at this point to go back and do it now.

Just afk out, its not worth the frustration to try to win an WG assault, and its faster to just deal with the debuff.

Nah that’s been the experience for many players this expansion. On alliance side and horde side from what i’ve heard.
I got lucky yesterday and managed to get into 2 defense games. One of which we almost lost cause the horde would not defend our west gate and instead chose to sit at sr for some reason ??? The alliance got to the final wall with 6mins left but we managed to destroy the last tower, reducing the time to 1min.
And screw the next person that gets backfilled. How selfish
a solution is to lock players into WG Atk so they can’t afk out. thats the real issue, the community reputation is that WGAtk can’t be won so even if you try to lead a team right now you get only a few players who want to play, the rest just qq and moan.
Atk is hard atm because ranged siege shots aren’t doing any damage unless you hit an exact 1 pixel wide spot, thats the bug that could be fixed, but its not as severe as just bad players who think the best solution is to afk out and then complain on the forums about how WG is terrible.
someone wanted to start a trend on social media, the trend is now that players give up and dont play, meaning their complaints about WG hold no merit.
I just left another Wintergrasp and took the Debuff. Bring back Blacklist.
Lmao how is that a “solution”? Sure dude, force people to play an NEARLY unwinnable BG and to get farmed for 30+ minutes at minimum. That’s the dumbest solution I’ve ever read. Plus, its not even enforceable since people would just alt f4 if you couldn’t /afk.
If it isn’t a balancing fix to increase assault winrates, then it isn’t a solution.
You want a solution, here’s a solution: let assault spawn catapults immediately at the start of the BG so defense actually has to defend. Wintergrasp fixed.
A sub 10% winrate for defense regardless of faction is not a player issue. Don’t pretend it is.
the player issue is that you think you can’t win so you never bother trying.
the issue the devs need to fix specifically is the demo cannon shot not damaging walls. (this might be intentional to make the siege engine more valuable)
epic bgers are still winning Atk, so the bug can be overcome, meaning it is in fact a player issue.
