Arathi Basin Weekend

How much honour & marks are you striving for? I'll be setting my sights on 70 marks, yes 70! This is for my level 60 priest gear which consists of:

General's Satin Boots
General's Satin Gloves
General's Satin Leggings
Warlord's Satin Cowl
Warlord's Satin Mantle
Warlord's Satin Robe

What can I say, I like satin :). I might not get all of the marks, but I'll definitely try for 35. Good luck to you all!

So How'd Your Battlegrounds Weekend Go?

I don't like Warsong Gulch that much, but I had to get my marks for my level 60 gear. Even though some say that the honour and marks are better spent on level 70 gear, I must upgrade my 40-45 gear before entering Outlands. Oh by the way I'm referring to my priest, who is still sitting at level 59. Anyways here's my fruits of my labour, 50 marks, approximately 5000 honour points.

I must say that 2 games were torturous, lasting an hour or more! Blizzard should really change the mechanics of Warsong Gulch. If both teams can't score, because the other team has their flag and one side is basically holed up on the roof and have a boomkin who 2 shots everyone, what happens? People start to either give up and leave the match or one side gives up and hands their flag back OR both teams try desperately to get their own flag back. Giving up seems to be the best solution since who really wants to spend an hour or more playing 1 game!

The next day I spent a total of 30-33 mins playing 3 games and winning every one (about 10 mins per match). And then Warsong Gulch crashed? Then I proceeded to go on a losing streak, which is fine, because I just wanted to get my marks and do some quests with my alt. It's not like I'm idle sitting somewhere in Warsong Gulch. I really try to help my team get the flag, but what am I supposed to do when it's 2-0 for the allies and we're getting slaughtered at midfield?
It's basically a lost cause and time to pack it in. It's a different story when it's 2-2 though, which is why I stuck with my team mates in those hour long matches.

So follow Homer's quote:

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'.
