I started playing BGs the other day (needed the G.N.E.R.D.S achievement for Halloween). I never realized how much fun they were. They always seemed so scary before so I never tried them (I'm an undergeared BM Hunter, not the best choice for PvPing). Yeah, I originally started on a PvP realm (where my brother played, was a Warlock and only got to about lv42), but it was one of the "new realms" that had been released with BC so the Horde massively out numbered the Alliance.

Today was so damn frustrating though. The daily was to win AB so I sign up for it even though I'm not crazy about it. 30 seconds after the battle began people would start saying "Alliance is winning, just let them capture all locations to get this over with". Umm... WHAT! We just started and you already want to give up because we're a little behind!?

And the worst part is, most people did give up! Ten people would just stand there, doing nothing while the other five of us were at least trying to do something (and were getting massacre but at least we were trying).

So after the lost, I try again with another group and the same thing happens! And it happens with the next one too, and the one after that! Finally I got fed up and quit. I plan on trying later tonight when hopefully more people who act like adults and not little kids will be on.

It's just, don't sign up for BGs if you don't plan on actually playing! Someone else could have been in there instead!

I'm a complete n00b at BGs and it felt like I knew more than those so-called experts I was playing with this afternoon.

I'm a BGer at heart. I've BGed since my first character (my hunter) was in the 10-19 bracket. And trust me: there are dickheads and assholes in BGs far more than there are in anything else.

I was doing the GNERDS achieve yeserday on my hunter (it was the last thing I needed for Hallowed on my hunter) and going into AV, people immediately start whining that no one's defending... when they're up the front attacking the alliance bunkers.

I was once told I didn't defend hard enough on my resto druid. I was like "... lol oh ok what was I supposed to do?"

Hmm, I've been told to get into BGs, GNERD up and then chill underwater or something and make everyone else do the work hahaha. So I'm the type of person you'd be shaking your virtual fists at.

Now then, get thee some gear!

Hehe, that was my original plan on how I was going to get the achievement. Go into Wintergrasp, hide somewhere and let others do the work.

I actually don't mind that since I know non-PvPers need the achievement too and understand it if they don't want to participate (it's not their fault that they need the achievement to complete Hallow's End). It's the whole "let's give up without trying" attitude I dislike, especially when the majority of the group is like that.

I wish I had started sooner, its fun and I'm not nearly as bad as I thought I would be.

Defending can be a pain. Today in AV, we were getting crushed on defence. I eventually headed up north to see what was taking them so long because I knew we couldn't last much longer. We did win, but it was close.

Yeah, and Blizz has made it clear that they have no intention of taking out the PvP requirements for the event achieves : (

As far as gear... Well, I assume you're 80 so go run a bunch of ToC 5 mans - great loot, easy and quick. Do your daily dungeons and get emblems and shards. And try to get in a VoA 10 and 25 every week as PVP gear rains from there. I've been given PVP gloves, chest and legs and I don't even want them so I just threw them away : (((
