Now that I’ve been playing my druid as horde the last few weeks, I must say random battlegrounds are way easier. I can easily cap just doing randoms and maybe one RBG. Sure there are still derps sometimes and losses, but losses are typically very close ie: 1300 to 1600 rather than 50 to 1600. So although I miss wins from AV and IoC all the time, this is just better in general so far.

My Druid is Now Horde
I haven’t written in a long while but I think I’ll add stuff I’ve missed and add some old images I found later.
I changed my druid to a troll. I’m not especially happy about that. I miss Shadowmeld a whole lot and miss the T9 tier look. However at this point I do nothing but pvp and everyone I knows what does it (well) are horde. Ladiesman, Sealgear, and so on. So here I am. Bgs outside of the CTA have been pretty good too. I also enjoy surprising Alliance with pvp that they don’t even expect, and I don’t have to fight with Deadfrog, who is a fantastically evil priest (like me) any more.
Ladiesman gave me a Rascal-Bot pet, which takes 20 days of engineering to make, and a Vengeful Porcupette which I expressed major interest in which takes 100 bloody coins. You get those by transforming into that pink thing in an early screen shot and getting the KILLING BLOW on players. Has to be the killing blow. I really like that one. I watched him get some of the coins on a stream, killing 3 alliance at once one time. /fans self!
Let’s see. The day I got the pvp pet, someone messaged me asking for my ‘lvl 25 for 100g’. I asked my level 25 what, they said my pet. I replied “if you are talking about my porcupette, 100g is lol, but I’d never sell it ever anyway”. Told me to come to the city and they’ll give me 100g and come to the flight master. The Dark Knight in me really, REALLY hates repeating things so I replied in all caps that MAYBE they didn’t hear me but I’m not selling it. I think they asked for it again, I called them an idiot and ignored.
A paladin, whose name escapes me at the moment, kept asking me to do stuff for them. I added them on btags after some battlegrounds where we grouped up to try to make a win on alliance. But, he was awful annoying. He was another one of those people that only messaged me to ask for favors and otherwise not say hi. Asked for a two person mount for a low level that I said I’d do but they “got someone else” then later asked for a transport in panda land. He was on a level 90 so I asked why he wasn’t flying. He said he can’t in pandaland because he couldn’t afford to keep 8 level 90’s in panda flying. Dude, that is not my problem and I am not your taxi. The best part was after I said having no money making profession wasn’t very wise:
“Neither was bombing another country but it won the war didn’t it”
W what?
I asked what war he was speaking of.
“Only all of them”
I replied if you say so. He mistook this to mean I was Canadian and I said no but I wouldn’t call Afghanistan a win. He said WW1, 2, and the “cold war” was a win and “whatever I’m not owned by Japan thank to it sooo”
Immediately deleted.
2 Petting
I have been playing my druid a lot and am up to 3 pieces of grievous so far. I am loving their utility, pounce, kitty stun, typhoon interupt, bear roar in any form, etc. It’s good stuff.
I’ve been leveling pets like mad too hoping to get the celestial tournament done but man it’s rough. Spending like an hour only to fail and do a repeat is annoying. Pet leveling has been pretty fast though. I can basically 2 pet the earth pandaren with Rapana Whelk and Infinite Whelp, I can two pet the water one with a Sandy Petrel and Emerald Proto Whelp as long as my low level pet can survive ALL THE DAMN WAVES. I can two pet the wind one with Emerald Proto again and a good ele killer that isn’t aquatic. I just tend to have favorites and forget I have something like 50 or 60 level 25’s. Annnnyway. Pets are fun, I may level a few for friends or something.
Guild Meltdown
Well I lived through yet another guild meltdown. We got a new monk healer who is good, but it turns out Silly and Duriel posted this past Monday looking for a new raid team before the raid on Tues and Wed. Yesterday Duriel kicked Omninal, that rogue, and all of Angey’s alts, then server transferred to their new team. It was announced that we will now be a casual guild. Not surprising considering 4 of the members of it are now gone.
I was no longer on the team anyway, but much like when Duriel was looking for a healer for CMs when they already had me, I found it rude that they were looking for a new team when they already had one. I mean everyone can leave when they want but stealthing it like that sucks. Oh well what can you do.
Cruc also “un quit” and started playing again, but is horde now. Needless to say the guild is pretty dead.
NOT IT
Seriously what is the deal with people defending nodes? I’ve had all of the following circumstances ALL THE TIME:
On my healers. Lone defender, usually a hunter. They either request help or I see them being attacked, check the map and run and save them. They promptly scoot off and leave me alone.
5 people rush a base, usually farm or stables (depending on faction), cap it. All 5 run off, leaving me solo.
On my hunter. Healer cries they are solo at a base. I go to add my dps. They run off and leave me alone.
DPS or heal, at a base with someone else. That person is afk and just stands there as I’m being attacked.
Sometimes it gets frustrating being the only one doing objectives. But still, horde wins a lot.
