And this is why I don't play on pvp servers....

Oh, just a thumb to the nose here:  I got my epic flight training and the swift mount about fifteen seconds after hitting level 70. And I wasn't totally broke afterward.  I had about 600 G left

I have a 70 mage, full epics, 1000+ spell damage, exalted with the netherwing, with epic flying and the epic engineering mount.

I never play him anymore because he's on a non-pvp server and it bores the hell out of me.

Pve servers are for nubs.  Tongue

PvP is frustrating a lot of the time, but I think the satisfaction and adrenaline of nabbing someone 9 levels higher than you or fending off two feral druids is worth it. Maybe not if player deaths took durability damage, but they don't, so it's okay.

I usually don't attack first because I like the moral satisfaction of defending myself successfully. And yeah, at end-game, you can only do so many raids a week, so might has well have something fun to do while farming for your alts.

It's a joke. Laugh.
I'd have been happier with PvP if there was a window of 5-10 levels or so to protect lowbies.  When a level 60+ warrior comes running through The Barrens and one-hits me because I'm killing a mob near the road?  Not fun.  Not fair.  Not necessary.  This adds nothing to the game.  Why is it allowed?

It's a skit I kept in mind throughout 70 levels of warrior, 70 levels of rogue, and 62 levels of druid.

If it's a PvP realm, I believe you get flagged automatically when you enter enemy-held territory.  I know you do when you enter contested territory, so it would make sense to be flagged in the enemy's home area as well.

That explains the PVP battlegrounds.

There is peace insofar as there is not a pitched war between the armies of the horde and alliance, and everybody in theory works together against Kael'thas and the Scourge.

I'm tempted to try a pvp server now...

Damn you people! I -know- I don't like unpleasant surprises! Sad

I want to raid more. *fidget* Stupid main tank being out... farming for my primal life, without the aid of an herbalist, as a holy pally? Sloowwww work. But I have seven of the ten I need. Then I just need to actually DO my confounded dailies, and get me a primal nether. Then I'll have golden spellthread for my new pants!

Oh yeah, I also pvped my face off yesterday. Almost 9k honor in one twenty four hour period, about 350 kills. I'm almost always in the top five healers of any BG I do. Hooray for durable healers! I want more spell crit, though... I got my new shield, and it doesn't have as much intellect as the old one, though it's got tons more armor, and tons more heals.

https://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Sisters+of+Elune&n=Odynae

I'm almost all in epics, but I want to potentially replace my boots... but then again, they're nice boots... I still don't know WHY our guild master had me socket them the way he did. It was kind of inane. I also don't know if I want to replace them with badge boots or not. I also don't know if we will EVER RAID AGAIN. God I want to raid SO BADLY- the Kara group I was going to run with simply NEVER SHOWED on stupid Monday.

I really want to do a twenty five man. But we really don't have enough people. Really really don't. I want to be in a raiding guild... but... rp!

Just... need... 30... more... badges to be a badass:

Leggings of Pursuit

With nethercobra and gems, my attack would go up by 85. Agility gets a big boost too, which will help my lacking crit because I've been going hit over crit (as I should).

I hate trying to pug for heroics and my guild has been a poo about them lately, which sucks because I need a good group for heroic Mgt to get that epic hunter chest.

Um, uneasy peace means there are still skirmishes, and that's what the battlegrounds are supposed to be.   Yes, I know, I'm a hideous RPer oh noes!  But here, in the official WoW story is:
Quote from: http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter5.html#41
The war had wounded each race deeply, but they had selflessly banded together to attempt a new beginning, starting with the uneasy truce between the Alliance and Horde. [...] The Grand Admiral forced Jaina to make a terrible decision: support him in battle against the orcs and betray her newfound allies, or fight her own father to maintain the fragile peace that the Alliance and the Horde had finally attained.

RP is GOOD, Fae. And anyone who disagrees will suffer my wrath! I'll heal them to death!

Thanks for the link, I was curious too- I'm not very good at lore, too easily distracted to read the whole thing.

Yes, but "World of Capture-the-Flagcraft" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

Pffft, only two bgs involve capture the flag- Eye of the Storm and Warsong Gulch. Horde always STOMPS us at those. Ugh.

God, I wish Horde stomped at Warsong Gulch on my server!  The first time I ever played that BG, we won, but it took an hour.  Every time I've played after that, we get our asses handed to us within 15 minutes.

Play on my server; I'm so used to getting the piss beaten out of me... it's sad. I sign into an EotS with a weary sigh and deep sense of resignation. And I need twenty EotS marks for the pvp mace.

I ignore the fact that we get repeatedly violated in every orifice, and focus on being in the top five healers, every time. Although, as I often say in /bg, it's hard to heal when I'm dead. (Only I say it all sarcastic like; /bg Hey guys, thanks for the help! I love it when I get brutally ganked and the NE rogue bounces circles around me typing 'lol'! It really helps me heal! Wink )
