YOU SEE THAT!?!?!?  THAT HAPPENED TO ME IN WINTERGRASP!!!!  Or should I say, “WE HATE YOU SKELETON JACK ZONE!!!!“  OMFG!!!  You ever heard of the word “Tenacity“?  Well, you will soon.  And you’ll either love it, or hate it.  Us?  Bonechewer and I.  We hates it.  A lot.  It’s like brains without the stem.  It’s just not right. *grumble from Bonechewer*

Wintergrasp is hell.  PURE HELL.  And Bull!@#$ too!!!  WE.  DO.  NOT.  LIKE.  IT.

“Oh listen to lil ally baby crying!!! Wahh!!! Waahhh!!!  Waaahhh!!! qq lil girl!!”

OK, so maybe if I left it there someone could say that and I wouldn’t have a leg to stand on.  So…I’ll tell you why Bonechewer and I are seriously considering abstaining from Wintergrasp…forever.

OK, so this Tenacity buff seems crazy right??  IT STACKS!!!  I F with you not, I was killing a damn orc who had over 60k hit points.  SIXTY THOUSAND HIT POINTS!!!  Did I actually kill him?  Nope.  He smoked me.  Was it fair?  In theory, yes.  In the reality of the situation, hell no.  And here is why and how this works.

Wintergrasp Balance

In an ideal world you go PvP against the opposing team and there are an equal number of opponents.  Cool.  Fine.  Let’s do it.  I don’t like a fair fight…because…well I like to win.  And I’m an evil Death Knight.  We’re supposed to play dirty.  But if you make us do it…well…we will.  So Blizzard, in their infinite wisdom, thought up a way to buff people who are on the side with less people.  Well…theoretically, that’s actually a good way to deal with world PvP.

It’s not like a Battle Ground, where the fight is instanced and the game forces x amount of people into the match.  One Horde could show up and find himself fighting off twenty Alliance.  That’s BS.  So where is the problem?  STUPID MORONS AND EXPLOITERS!!!!

Did you know in Wintergrasp today we had a level 7, a level 19, a level 57, a level 10, and a level 72 player in the zone?  That means there are 5 people in the zone who couldn’t begin to kill a normal level 80 to start with (let alone one buffed with stacks of Tenacity).  Then you have to realize that these morons are adding stacks of Tenacity to the horde players.  Yes that’s right.  Either morons were griefing us.  Either Horde was sending lowbies over to grief us.  Or jerks were griefing us.  Either way…

I

Still

Got

Griefed.

In and of itself, the Tenacity thing works well.  If 2 horde jump 6 alliance they could wipe the floor with the Alliance.  But if the Alliance players think and play well…they could be dropping stuns, silences, disarms, fears, etc.  Those 2 super buffed Horde will die pretty quickly then.  40k hit points, or not.  Something that makes the fight more balanced is great in my book, and it makes you think.  But the rules of the zone need to change.

The zone needs to have a level requirement, or it needs to not count any player under the level 77 for Tenacity purposes.

/sigh

So where is the upside.  Man, I tell you what.  If you want a crash course in how to PvP as a DK…go to Wintergrasp when you have the majority.  It’s like bashing your head into a wall.  But I tell you what, your skills improve dramatically when the other opponents are playing in “god” mode and you’re busting hump just to stay alive.

So what did I do after I got my rear kicked?  I went to Strand of the Ancients.  Oh yes, I rocked it.  Hard.  I was getting like 1300 honor per match or so.  It was nice.  Yes it was.  Bonechewer got some brains, I got some female Blood Elf numbers (you have to specify female…cause those male BE’s are a lil fruity ya know what I mean?), we got to kill some people…..  It was a good day.

Anyways, I’m still sick as a dog.  Been missing work…ugh.  Getting some sleep.  Take care out there guys, and I hope this helps sate some of that PvP craze I’ve been getting asked about.
