Horde AFK/Loss-Leeching in BGs: Systemic problem
Skinnylatte posted a topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
I find it complete bullshit that I get reported AFK and GM-island "warning" because im waiting to release in AV because they are capping northern gys. The ridiculous part is that for 6 months BGing with these Horde I have often been the ONLY person trying at all for objectives, as they enter, look at the names on the board and say (whether they even know for sure or not), "well, its a premade, JUST LOSE." They literally go to a useless or SAFE place on the map, or just stand near the GY and mindlessly fight for a few hks. You'll have 3 warriors sitting in OUR flag room. Frontliners just sitting in the FR... But I'm getting shitflamed everyday for doing something that is standard practice and actually a lot smarter than spawning back at IB....... The open world isn't much better. Horde will run from fights, they will ride right past other Horde getting ganked, every cowardly thing you can think of. The other day some shaman was getting ganked in Burning Steppes. I'm riding past as he rezzes, and I see a rogue targeting him, then targets me, and is scurrying off. So I rode out of sight but then doubled back, expecting this was the situation I just saw... Sure enough the rogue has initiated and the shaman is rapidly losing hp, stunned. I coil and fear and dot, we fight, rogue dies. I friendly emote a /salute to the Horde shammy. He sits to eat and drink. I resummon my pet, lifetap. He mounts up and rides away. 4 second later, while eating slow food, I am ganked by the same rogue and a warrior. Easily a fight we would have won or just avoided had he just thrown a heal and covered for me to also mount up. But even if you save someone and fight for them, apparently they will just leave you to the wolves in the middle of a contested, high traffic zone right after a gank attempt... this is COMMON. NOT saying 100% ALL Horde players are like this, but enough of a majority that it has become STANDARD behavior to see. It's really fucking ridiculous. I started out here trying to be the more helpful player I could, help anyone who asks, do plenty of runs and spend plenty of time on things I don't need at all. Always try to help turn a fight I see happening even if the odds dont look favorable, always try in BGs even against premades, hell I have probably done 30 WW quests farming troll tusks and charms and killing the cyclone, just because I wanted to be the type of player a server needs, willing to help their fellow Hordies (or allies if you are one) with anything if you are able. But now, I am losing my desire to be that person and my outlook has shifted because my overwhelming experience playing with TONS of you guys has been these core elements. this was mostly done stream of thought im not editing I just want to get this out. Feel free to counter-shitpost me if you like. Stop calling me a fucking afk and a ninja. Never have done either unless i have actually typed /AFK to leave a bg i could not finish. And this isn't against the rules nor should it be, real life happens and leaving games where everyone is sitting in the flag room not trying is completely legitimate. -
Learn how to jump for the backdoor strat in AV
Skinnylatte replied to Tiassra's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
I was having trouble hitting the jump. Hit it by chance a couple times but couldn't do it reliably/consistently. A guy in the BG said "aim low," so I tried to apply that advice best I could on my next jump, where I was looking on the hill. Bam. Hit it that time. And since then I have hit it maybe miss 1 time here or there but usually on the first try. "Aim low" guy man I still don't rem his name. MVP tho. -
Gank Scene - am I missing something?
Skinnylatte replied to Gnog's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
minus questie. At least my experience has been miserable with it. Conflicts with other addons I use, sometimes will point you in a bad direction for weird reasons. Just read the log and pay attn to the npcs and you will have an easier time navigating. -
Gank Scene - am I missing something?
Skinnylatte replied to Gnog's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
Then go quest. You WILL get ganked. Get over it. Be aware. Keep some consumables handy. Use /world chat to call for assistance (do NOT whine). OR QUIT IDC. -

Yesmaster got a taste of Gixxers wrath
Skinnylatte replied to Theugly's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
I 2v1'd Gixxer and Elisha in Blasted lands and it was easy. -
He didn't even sac the void. Why include that? lmfao And you can't even finish without help. I've seen you in the world plenty and smoked you alone. You usually have dickriders to save you, tho. 4/10 clips featuring lopsided fights vs scrubs lmfao

Thanks, guys, for your added support!

Warlock or Mage in PVP?
Skinnylatte replied to Alexender's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
lol wut... "warlock anti-class paladin warrior rogue" in vanilla? no. in TBC? warriors and rogues, yes, paladins, still no. In wrath? paladins? yes. rogues no again. warriors still yes. This is vanilla. Warlocks should not be losing 1v1 to warrior, rogue, or paladin. Use bluebubbler. Stop trying to be fancy with your pups out if you are still getting mauled by every physical damage dealer out there. That is ridiculous. The pup only helps vs other warlocks (very good, strong case for pupp'ing), priests (nigh impossible fight otherwise), and mage (already easiest fight in the game, who cares). But bubbler helps against every BAD fight and turns them into winnable fights. Every warlock complains about rogues, warriors, hunters, but every warlock over-values felpup. Yes, pup is good. Yes on a REAL team, when you have reliable peels to deal with these named threats, pup is a better option to help dispell and spell lock. But for captain soloqueues, which most are, and for being out in the world getting caught, bubbler is far superior and turns fights around. "warlocks need gear to perform" another false flag operation in this thread. Disgusting. Yes, with gear, they become VERY strong. But even without gear, the control warlock brings with curse of the TONGUE, FEAR, SkillCoil™ and TROOLOLOL backended sneaky damage, easy ways to keep rogues from performing well (SIPHON LAST 30 SECONDS, GUYS), very much a battlefield disruptor in every way the mage is. But you can blow up feared targets, sheeps get healed. Arguably an added bonus. None of these things require spellpower they are just mechanics of the class spell kits. "warlock damage is easier to heal thru" curse of tongues. Shadowbolt. skillcoil. shadowburn. spell lock IF I REALLY MUST my gosh... LOL this thread really delivers The one true thing so far that has been said is that mages are better flag runners. This part is true. Blinknova is strong. Locks standing by to peel and interdict efc and cc his healers are on the same team. Both jobs can be fun, depends what style you like more control or more front-end burst damage. -
Player harassment and how to resolve it?
Skinnylatte replied to Superbilly's topic in General Discussion & Suggestions
Had no idea how many pussified, esoteric extra rules there would be here. "Safe spotting" lmfao "places that can be difficult to reach by executing very specific moves" give me a break. It's a fucking war game. If you take the time to get to a tricky spot and are sniping, who cares? Its "difficult" to get there, SO WHAT? I honestly do not understand this reasoning. AT all. Other than pure pussification. -
