bump incase anyone has any tips on how to get into the battle, like queueing from a specific spot or being inside the area when it starts, etc. guess i'll try it anyway but would be nice to know



You've gotta watch the timer on your pvp panel and queue immediately or you're screwed.

According to Bashiok Blizzard is now aware that most servers are now just win trading for points. They don't have any solution to it right now, of course.

Another fail for the fanboy favorite Ghostcrawler.

Thanks, but it's been fun

But trading victories for points is exactly what Blizzard wanted with this change.
TB is flawed (yeah, it's me saying that). If the defender isn't half a moron, the attacker will NEVER take it. On some servers, this can last for days, which is totally unfair for the losing side.
To be sure that everybody can enjoy the quests there until they find the real fix permitting real competitive battles, they offered a tremendous advantage to the attacker. Anyone thinking this is not intentional is delusional and needs a reality check.

Not only that, but due to the huge point rewards players have figured out how easy it is to obtain PVP armor, skip normal dungeons and go straight to Heroics with a few pieces of it.

You guys are lucky to be DPS or casters then. For a tank, PvP armor is crap, even with reforging.

Be careful. I said something about GC a week or two ago and was swamped with his buddies defending him here. It is hard to tell GC pals from regular people. They look just like us...

As for TB, people are trying to squeeze onto the bridge just as the round ends so they can get the 1800 honor even though they aren't part of the round. Brilliant design.

1800 points is great but just how often is anyone going to collect on it?

That would be not very, heck Blizz could offer 10,000 points and not have to worry about it being collected enough to matter.



The defending side will want to lose so they can attack next round. No one will want to win while defending. TB will constantly change hands.



Yeah. Horde and Alliance factions on the one server I play on have come to a "mutual agreement". GG Blizz xD!

I know it has become the new AFK hangout on the inside, did not know they could get the points just sitting on the bridge by the entrance.
