The only "cure" to this is some pain in the form of Horde turtles, you'll see Alliance sing a different tune within a week when all the idiots that camp middle afk out cause they can't get isolated kills.

In my experience on my 2 60 toons. 5 horde swing around and kill 10 alliance while the rest of alliance keeps riding by. Trying to run south kinda sucks unless you ghost run. Horde is bringing it on themselves by doing that. it's much more fun when you die to defend, then it is to ghost rune south.

Exactly, horde here wanna make it out like Alliance are doing it, literally every game in AV like 10 horde cut us off before snow fall and will even interrupt Galv kills. Yall bring it on yourselves.

I feel like you're not seeing the other side. Alliance are sending 5-10 people to defend their LTs every game killing us. Now who's bringing what on themselves? What came first the chicken or the egg?

Don't blame factions, and don't defend the idiots doing this shit.

I’ll be real chief.

I’ve played easily 150-200+ AV in the past 4 weeks, all as Alliance

I have seen Horde get wiped at Balinda 4 times in total.

I have seen Ally get wiped at Galv 17 times, and Horde smear trying to intercept before Galv in 50-60% of games overall.

I’ve also seen Horde deathsquads recapping GYs / intercepting SFGY in at least 30 games.

On the other hand, the worst Ally ever really does to force a turtle is be morons who don’t deathrun from SPGY. The only time anyone ever actively plays defense is in a 5stack, and even then they won’t recap graveyards 90% of the time.

Anecdotal, chicken or the egg argument that serves no purpose other than shifting blame, probably to give yourself an excuse for your own griefing. This has not been my experience at all.

If clearing LTs then holding FWGY/RH before clearing WMs + zerging Drek is griefing, please provide tips because I don’t think there is a more efficient strat for Alliance

If you are killing horde at LT's they will respawn at IB and grief you at Galv it's that simple. I have never seen horde just run to galv at the start of the game.

Being a poor man with a 60% mount who's been playing AV for the last 5 hours on Alliance. Games go like this for me. Buff up in tunnel, run through SH chokepoint, run past Balinda's building, get ganked before SF by 5-10 Horde, respawn at SPGY with 10+ members of my team, try to run through SH chokepoint, get murdered by roving Horde, start ghost walking to FW, FW gets recapped by Horde, respawn in tunnel, and now I'm just turtling at SPGY.

If you kill Alliance before we get a GY. It's all the way back to SP for us. Wipe us at Galv, and it's a turtle. We literally can't do anything about it.

I’m talking about horde LTs…

Yeah. It's not a faction thing. It's just idiots praying for people to rush north or south and end it fast while they get extra honour. I've seen Alliance wiping horde on Balinda and I've seen Horde wiping Alliance on Galv. Same shit

Alliance griefs huge by waiting in bunkers with sappers horde has almost never done this and only goes on defence after this type of BS

u/Expensive_Storage618 4h ago

horde approaching SHB / ice wing with rogues / druids / mages already pre inside with sappers ,the fact is alliance griefs 90% more

u/MuchSrsOfc 1d ago

This is not really arguable, it is very agreed by both ally and horde that allys grief in a magnitude of 10 more than horde. My guild split into horde/ally from cataclysm, it is not even remotely close. We have 20man ally teams wiping us at balinda constantly then sitting and holding choke point for half an hour

In my entire grind to rank 11 on alliance, we never once tried to stall at Balinda

u/Krelith 1d ago

It wasn't around when pvp first opened up and the grind to r11 started but with the new rank release alliance recap squads have been insane that there are messages asking for more in SHB before the games started because alliance hit it early, 1 minute after cap and before balinda is dead early. These aren't small squads either, frequently seen 7-10 players in a group do this.

Balinda stall is very rare that I've only seen it 1-2 this week, but recapping gy/bunkers and pushing horde back to iceblood if they are lucky or cave if they aren't is quite common.

Btw before you say horde bias, we are just as guilty with galv but I've found the alliance recap squads are a lot more common.

Honestly I wish both sides would take their towers/lts and move on to the next game so we can get the horrible grind over for the week.
