F2P worth it?

[Mollymaid]

The above MB hunters are absolute trash. They'd be more effective if the guy simply ran a single 24 hunter. Also, while you won that game, you all died a lot, and frankly it didn't look like much fun to me. Anyway, random games are random. Some are great fun, others boring, others just painful and not worth your time. Working together in a premade against randoms sounds boring to me. Against another decent team, sure sounds good, but stomping random noobs is kinda pointless.



With Navydew, if they sucked as much as that guy, or the 9yo from Bleeding Hollow, then you don't need any tactics. They also don't have healers. Three F2P hunters, all geared and with decent resilience, all healed by a 24 resto shaman, good luck using "tactics" on that. If you want to beat Navy at WSG, then you need to avoid them. It's the only way. I've capped a few on them, but it's not really worth bothering anymore and I usually just leave. The same applies to AB. Avoid them, be aware of their location, and cap behind them. As for Spirestone, it depends how many of them there are. It's easy to stomp one or two of them, less so when all ten are there, healing and running back to each other for support. Usually I just blow CDs, take one or two out, and then leave.



F2P is worth every cent you pay. Like anything in this game, or life generally, it depends on the people you're doing it with. You'll find all kinds of people here just like you will anywhere else. Some you'll enjoy, others not.

This makes me laugh coming from the guy who OMFG RUNS when you get hit with anything. I get it , I get it, its how you play and to each their own =)

I say it really is a 50 50 shot on Horde. I have times where we have a great combo of folks playing. Then theres those downs people with 500 hps who just " lol " all day long. That can be found on either side really.

Why would you bother posting that? I don't run when I get hit, but I certainly don't just stand there and wait around to get ganked either. Pointless post. Do you have any actual comment on the tactics of going up against MB or is your factional fanboyism so deeply ingrained that you can only comment from hordeside? I play both, in case you were wondering, I just don't advertise who I play to avoid useless bullshit like this. I didn't want to mention who I play predominantly either, but people guessed after comments I made about a specific game with eight hunters and myself in it.

Like I said about the people you're with making or breaking this. While AP is big on TI, neither AP nor TI are a very big part of F2P generally. Personally, I find much of TI, and by extension, much of AP to be full of whiney little spiteful bitches. All you have to do is go back through a few of the topics to find examples of that. If that kind of thing appeals, or just playing with other F2Ps on the same server, then by all means go AP. If you'd rather play with people you already know, and have a decent shot at an AGM, or just tend to pug, stick with your own server.



My main experiences of people from AP are pugs, on both sides, and while there are some premades happening, I'm far more likely to run into AP people that have joined on their own. Don't let the TI posts fool you, AP isn't a bunch of premades happening constantly just waiting for you to join and get carried to victory, nor are pugs all GY farm fests.

Well your comment " I take one or two out and then leave " is why I posted that. And settle down junior, I understand some people only play when it looks 100 percent sure that there is going to be a good out come. You are not one of those people who can swing the tides of a fight. It's just not your thing. I get it. Also, who's your horde guy?

This nails it on the head. Which is why I made a toon on another server to get my agms .

Also, who's your horde guy?

So far they're well kept secrets, and I intend to keep them that way. I've also seen some people claiming to be one of my alts in BGs, which I will never do, so if you do see someone claiming to be me, I can gaurantee it isn't, other than Kale of course. Since everyone already knows, no point denying that.

You don't play on AP, so you're in no position to make statements as to how many premades we do. The F2P community on AP runs addons that were made specifically to make premading very easy. If there are people who are on, and they want to group up, they do. The only ones who queue solo are either too impatient to wait for other people to get out of dungeons/complete quests, or are not a part of the TI based community there, but are just AP randoms.



We can run very large premades, very regularly, on account of having up to 30 people online at peak hours (on Horde alone), all of whom can chat with each other, request groups from our payed account characters, or simultaneously queue 3 seperate parties to get them into the same BG, time, after time, after time.



This CtA weekend I completed enough BGs to get my shaman's BoA weapon, raising my played games on that character to 58 (7 AB, 51 WSG) and games won to 48. I have played a grand total of 2 games on the character where I solo queued, and not one of the others was in a group of less than 3 AP community members.



The 29 screenshots I grabbed of Dashiki's scoreboards show:



AB win, 13 person AP premade

AB win, 13 person AP premade

AB win, 14 person AP premade

AB win, 14 person AP premade

WSG win, 4 person AP premade

WSG win, 4 person AP premade

WSG win, 10 person AP premade (vs 5 from AP alliance and 2 AP 24s)

WSG loss, 9 man AP premade (vs 3 man premade from Smolderthorn, in a team with 6 hunters, one a L24)

WSG win, 7 person AP premade

WSG win, 6 person AP premade

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 5 person AP premade

WSG win, 10 person AP premade (vs 6 from AP Alliance)

WSG win, 7 person AP premade (vs that multiboxer)

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 6 person AP premade

WSG win, 3 person AP premade (vs 3 from AP Alliance)

AB win, 7 person AP premade

WSG win, 5 person AP premade

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 10 person AP premade (vs 3 from AP Alliance)

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 10 person AP premade

WSG win, 9 person AP premade

WSG win, 10 person AP premade

AB win, 13 person AP premade

AB win, 11 person AP premade

WSG win, 9 person AP premade





That is the reality of what happens on AP.

So tbh I have encountered you enough where you used in like 1 Minute of the fight Bubble, AGM, Several FLASH of LIGHTs, LoH and this was in 1vs1 when I still played my pally alot more.

It wouldnt look like fun to you since you're famous for /afking out of any battleground where the tide starts to turn against you even the slightest bit.



Funny thing is though, that game was actually really awesome and probably the most fun game out of all our premades that day. Having to face the challenge of the multiboxer brought something different to the table than the standard WSG game. But I guess some people like to do the exact same thing game after game and never get tired of it, like a hamster running on a treadmill.

To anyone reading this, be aware that is wholly inaccurate. The AP community is very strong and helpful, and has one or two premade-making bots on all the time. We pre-made all the time. Even on un-peak hours there's always a few people running the Gulch. This is just for Alliance, and I can't speak for Horde.
