How BGs should be played is pretty obvious don't you think ? 2 teams, simple objectives. It's as "stupid" as any current popular games. I've queued with and into proper groups of players who would always try regardless of how hard they are getting stomped. That is exactly how you get better individually and collectively. You also get a lot more fun out of it (yes yes ranking can be fun, especially in drawn out games, if you don't have to play with your honor tab opened 24/7 because others are cheating). A typical AB game is actually supposed to last around 15-25 minutes when 2 full teams are playing it. Reducing what is happening since weeks to 1 game example is an attempt at fooling the mass. As you might have seen (if not I'll happily PM you what I randomly found myself), there has been piles of lvl 60 characters corpses in Searing Gorge (and who knows elsewhere and since how long) who are not being played anymore except for opposite faction honor farm purposes (all in the same guild, all on top of each other and in somewhat hidden spot), as well as ghost queuing/empty games created solely in order to have specific premades get 5-8 vs 15 games. This has happened for days and weeks long. This is not even taking into account the account sharing/buying/selling and multiboxing which are around since ranking system ever existed in this game and that you can easily see just reading world chat advertisements and investigating shady websites selling ranked accounts on both sides for this realm. These aren't brand new offenses in the ranking 'scene'. Resuming the issue to a BG scoreboard is like only seeing a little bird on the top of an iceberg 20 times bigger underwater.

I think Modified Power Auras is what you are looking for (works with trinket procs/on use, enchant procs, any kind of buff/debuff really) : https://forum.elysium-project.org/topic/23751-addon-modifiedpowerauras/ You can even setup a sound upon item/talent/enchant proc if you want to spice it up.

"PREPARE... for the return of the ancient ones!"

"Quests Bor Wildmane has returned." HYPE

Which hut are you talking about ? If it's the one with the 2 npcs for ZG flasks and enchants, any class and character can get there... And that's not "personal knowledge of spots and techniques". If you don't know how to get there you are just blind xD

They have never considered these situations to fall under their interpretation of "griefing" as per the ToU. If they are considered griefing at some point then I believe serious investigations need to happen first in regards to things way more important than a reagent for 2 craftable blues.

UNLEASH BOR WILDMANE =)

This.

It doesn't matter if it's hard or not to jump somewhere. It's the same in game action with the same results. Nothing prevents you from killing/cc players (pvp you said ? O.o) being on roofs or trying to backdoor in AV. This report is just a QQ from a vurtne/drakedog wannabe who couldn't be asked to kill 1 single player and is butthurt because he couldn't just PvE his way to victory in one AV. Also what you mentioned about horde AV backdoor is completely irrelevant since you can just get any kind of slowfall-like buff, available to every class and race, mount up and jump to reach alliance GY flag. Jumping skills are not even required )

If he gets banned you have to follow your own "case law", review logs of every AV game which happend during this week and ban every horde player who pressed escape 3 times to get on top of a hill. Have fun with that. Also, this is not the place where you do reports. Get some English lessons and read ToU @ OP

HY FRENDS. ME DUMB WOULD LIKE REPORT ALL HORDE DOIN YUMPS TO BAKDOOR BASE ! OH BTW U ALSO NEED BAN EVERY DROOD WHO EVER QUEUED FOR LE GULCH ! SO BAN ENTIRE HORDE SIDE FOR EXPLOIT BUG MOUNTAINS PLS. THX

I think this might have been a thing at beta or at 1.5 but quickly got removed perhaps. You could go below rank 0 and had few different titles right ? Game manual's actually mention possible penalties for killing civilians but it wasn't really implemented this way. It incited players to farm DhKs which wasn't their purpose. They found a "solution" with flying mounts and "sanctuary" towns afterwards I guess... Should ask Nain about it tbh xD

Overall going for 315 dagger (or sword too) weapon skill is not worth as it usually means trading big agi/crit/hit/ap gain just for extra +5 dagger skill (and 1% crit in the belt's case). The difference in glancing blows damage from 310 to 315 is not high enough. Pure stats gain are going to increase every source of damage you pull out (except poison procs). 315 weapon skill will just yield a little damage increase on 40% of your white swings which themselves represent around 50% of your damage output. Use ACLG + Mugger's Belt if MC is your latest raid tier. Replace Mugger's Belt with BF Belt once you are able to go 3/8 T2 with it. At this point you can vendor Mugger's Belt. AQ40 will provide you these few extra dagger skill points with Death's Sting (you go up to 313, there is no need to go 315 really) and if you're lucky you also get Belt of Never-end Agony, whose stats completely outperform what Mugger's Belt would provide.

Or you can just play the game normally, rank up as you're supposed to, without using ways around any kind of difficulty/opposition and not take any shady/obvious non legit shortcuts. Your mind will be at peace and you will probably have way more fun. Just queue with some friends, try get better every real game you get. Rinse and repeat for a good amount of hours / day over few weeks. There is no need for a sticky post or whatever, ToU are already stickied and their interpretation is pretty obvious when it comes to ranking system (by cheating queue system you break the ToU, it's not rocket science). Just play the game fair and square. When you say it's impossible to reach r13/14 without that kind of cheating (let's be honest here, it's plain cheating and you don't have to try make it appear as something "fishy" just because it has been done by 30ish players and some got away with it in a distant past because nobody cared), I can name you plenty of players who actually made it without needing to premade at all as well as plenty more who did it legitly by premading. In fact the "honor caps" during these past weeks were low enough for a soloqueuer to easily reach them just by being committed to it. You even named an example of this. - Your first 3 questions are legit ones which have been answered in the past already afaik (although AV is barely a proper pvp BG anyways, it's mainly a pve speedrun xd). In doubt, never do the questionable things ? - Why on earth would 5 man queueing for WSG not be legit (is that you're saying yeah ?) ? You're stating ppl should not be allowed to queue with 4 friends ranking or not to have some real games, be it against a group of 5 + pugs or a 10 man prem ? Queue as 5 is a handicap for wining fast so I don't get your point here ? Why does it feel 'wrong' to you ? - Your last 2 questions make no sense. They aren't even questions. The way the system works is straight forward : one player or group of players dominate honor wise each week and they decide when to stop or not at their convenience. Then it's on the others to line up or try to get more honor than him/them. If the guy is able to make rankers on his faction line up and stack to his liking, it's because he is able to get these decisions respected. It's just the law of the strongest if that makes any sense.

Troll racial Berserking quickens aimed shot cast time (and ranged AS ?) too. Not sure about Juju Flurry and Battle Squawk (for the latter I'm sure it increases ranged attack speed however) interaction with aimed shot cast time though.

Prenerf C'thun please =)

Shouldn't have counted on and made plans according to something that is not supposed to happen like freezing. Some players got wrongly banned in the past (like MC bug into ban or invalid target pet bug without even knowing it) when ranked and dealt with the honor/rp lost just like you. Its the risks.

Why you talking about lack of communication ? It's written in ToU (that every player is supposed to have read btw) that cheating is punished and how. It's like you steal a grandma's handbag and once you get caught you claim you didn't know it's not allowed rofl.

What is wrong with RP decay ? You should decay regardless of being in pvp playerbase (> 15 HKs) or not afaik ? Freezing your RP/ranks should not be possible ? Come gulch later I fite u. We 9 mins 3 cap full undead team with no healers 4 melees was fun ))

I quoted Gibbadin, not you. Drink some tea.

Backup your claims ? And stop being salty about getting suspended. Could have been way worse, it was the case before. Blatantly cheating and abusing queue system for an entire week because you couldn't be asked to face and win horde premades, all that to farm honor and go for bracket 1 when you're just rank 8. Next time try playing the game fair and square. Man up or something idk. You look like the "casual" here to quote you.

Or you if you can't log in atm / ambassadors are not up yet : click HERE and scroll down. Site has a lot more useful information. This week will be AV.

To get less resists from players having high shadow res (from gear as well as buffs). The other reason is that they are the least worst talent spending options at your disposal to get to next lvl of talents. Your other choices for 10 talents points in affli after you've filled up Imp. Corrupt. and Imp. Tap are awful.

There is no "Queue Premade Priority" anymore. What are you talking about is the 5 minutes timespan after you've queued during which, if the opposite faction has a premade (understand, more than 5 players or the set amount of players required to open a new BG) in queue / queuing, you will be matched with them. If not, you will only get a BG pop and face solo queuers after the 5 minutes mark. This system existed on Nostalrius and was removed as it encouraged dodging/wintrading and whatnot, on top of not being blizzlike and killed the entire point of Battlegrounds. The current queue system is the least worst for both premades and solo queuers. For a BG to open you need a set minimum amount of players queued on each side. So obviously by queuing with more than this set amount on alliance side, the system is matching players almost instantly to open a new BG since there are always horde players in queue. The fact you face a lot of premades is completely normal considering the number of different horde premades queuing up. These premades are willing to face alliances ones and play the games until the end even though their ranking up is way harder and more competitive honor wise. When you say "are really into PvP" and "dedicated" you just explained yourself that if you aren't into PvP and/or dedicated, you should not rank at all. Ranking requiring being into PvP. Doesn't sound bad or far away from retail vanilla, does it ? You make it look like every BG pop is against a premade. It is not even the case. Queuing few hours with more than 6 players you get as many games against premades as against soloqueuers, which is a good balance. There were players getting to R12/R13 by just solo queuing even...
