Sounds like a skill issue just back cap too. Never understand people queing pvp modes to evade pvp while in the mode.

Yeah, that’s literally what leads to the turtling.
Welfare gear.

Changed toons to show the full brut set.
Again its a skill issue. expect pvp in pvp modes. Kills/capping towers will give you more honor than just rushing bosses afking while you wait.
Minmaxing the fun out of the game, just play it instead.

Didn’t say I didn’t expect PvP in PvP mode, I was asking the Horde to stop turtling AV, if I wanted to have fun in PvP I would play Arenas or smaller Battlegrounds, not the chaotic skilless mess that is AV.
Also, capping towers is part of the efficient rush to the bosses part. Avoiding fighting in the middle =/= Alterac Blitz.
Im on alliance and i backcapped and turtled my way to the welfare gear. SOOOo idk man sounds like you should do something else?

I would, except, you know, Skyfury. Barely anyone doing Heroics and Raids have a lockout + gear isn’t guaranteed, which is to say, AV, as annoying as it is, is the best way to gear right now.
Horde get the same honor in a turtle as they would if they lost 3 times in that timespan, so its irrelevant for us and some of us actually like to PVP instead of racing to fight an NPC.
You must be getting unlucky because most games I’m in alliance are getting 700-1200 honor win or lose. Must take no time at all to gear up.

Leave the horde alone, they’re already having to deal with losing 60% of the time on a good day. Turtles are actually refreshing from time to time to rack up like 200 HKs a game. Achievements aren’t going to acquire themselves.
I hope scorched earth comes back… I hate rushing to the end and zerg’n down the boss. =)

If its done correctly you will get better Honor Per Hour than afking up north and praying 2 bunkers burn. 1200 for 12-13 min win versus 500 honor 9 minute win. The DB North towers are usually 60 seconds or less from burning when Horde kills Vann, if back caps occur you can wait for them to burn before killing Vann.
“Stop turtling.” This is what people say to the opposing faction that’s actually playing the game to PvP, win, and have fun right? AKA, trying? Yeah, actually PvPing in a BG. Weird stuff.

He’s not wrong. People are playing av and are actively avoiding pvp
pvp mode? get out of here dirty retail player. Also tell your paladins brothers to stop bubbling at 100% hp
people who say “pvp in a bg omg” when speaking about AV are the same people who try to defend the hellfire towers
you’re just griefing yourself and a bunch of other people for no reason at all, if you wanna pvp just go to any of the other BGs

No they’re not. Back capping is more honor individually then moving up with the group. People figured this out and now they’re just sitting mid and bottom to get kills and guaranteed honor win or lose. I’ve lost 20 minute games but ended with 1.2k honor.

i’ll tell you why it turns out to be a turtle. The Zugs don’t even know how to Zug correctly.
So everyone rushes north. A handful defend SHB. A handful defend IWB. Usually left SHGY wide open. But meh, usually not a factor.
This is what the Zugs need to learn. The problem happens when they get to Stormpike Graveyard. Half the time they run by SPGY straight to the Aid Station so they can sit there and stare at Van. He’s a pretty good looking person. This leaves SPGY either undefended or not even capped. So Ally respawns there. Horde gradually dies off and we end up down south again.
I’ve also seen 15 or so Horde rush Aid Station. They all failed to cap it. They said there were a 5 Alliance defending. What they did was they chased the HKs instead of spam capping the flag lol.
It’s a turtle because horde is stupid. Zugs are stupid. But we can’t even do that right either.
Clash in mid!
Av is for pvp.

Flashbacks to 2008 and people whining because they are getting killed in a BG when all they wanted to do was pve.
Delicious tears.
