sparkindarknessDROP DEAD OF SOME HORRIBLE WASTING DISEASE!
Has there ever BEEN a more buggy piece of crap released since Windows 95?
Yeah I love the amalgamated battlegrounds - saves on queues getting in
But it takes me 20mins for the damn battlemaster to even RECOGNISE me. Then after I accept to go in they won't let me (or make we wait longer than EVER I was queued before) Then i get STUCK in the BG for an hour after it has finished. Nice. Real Nice.
Oh and while we're at it - what madness possessed you to make Silithus and Eastern Plaguelands PVP zones?! Giant battlegrounds you get stuck in (well no, because you get less honour, less rep and a WHOLE lot more agro than you do in a BG). I can't imagine what it's like on the PVP servers - these areas are annoying enough without being ganked endlessly by some Horde trying to claim these bloody useless towers (a feat that appears to be impossible by the way)
And while we're at it - the CANON of having the alliance (or the Horde) try to claim EITHER territory is LUDICROUS
Even aside from the SHEER STUPIDITY OF IT, what POSSIBLE sense does it make for the canon? C'mon we're on an RP server so we expect the plot to make sense. Why is the alliance trying to claim EP of all places?!
A forward point against the Horde? WHY? The northern most alliance territory is Southshore! Barricade Alterac or Arathi (you know, those nice STRATEGICALLY DEFENSIBLE areas with the IDEAL defensible terrain) you have ongoing wars there ANYWAY.
A way to hit the Horde from a different angle? Nice, except Trisfal is ALREADY barricaded to the east to keep out the Scourge, so that translates to attacking the Horde at their strongest point.
Resources in EP? Well, assume for a minute there are vast resources there - it doesn't matter because all caravans have to come THROUGH the Western Plaguelands - including Andorhal. Same goes if you want to muster an army against the Horde - you have to go through the WP to resupply and maintain the fortifications and forces in EP - madness. If you wanted to make ANY attempt to claim EP - whether for Naxxarramas or killing the Scourge or for whatever resources are there you MUST take WP first (this also makes more sense if you want a bulwark against the Horde).
And Silithus? That sandy dump with the evil wildlife, swarming with Silithid and infested with the Twilight Hammer. Why would ANYONE want to take that?
Gah the whole things just DOES NOT FIT. From a writing point of view there is no real way to justify why the Alliance would send more forces (their OVERSTRETCHED forces) to these regions.

(And yes, my ex & husband get on very nicely, thank you. Tho' why the hell they're both domestic guys, good at cooking with long nails... Erm...)

Alternately, Guild Wars, which manages to solve some of the problems in very different ways.
