allahkazam said:pretty much this. the fact that i was on a 24 didn't stop the 9 other people on my team from having between 500 and 839 hp and didn't stop an entire 10 man alliance team from farming the GY for 25 minutes. They wiped horde in mid and went immediately to below the GY. They capped once when a prot pally used lay on hands and the rest of their flag room D killed me in tunnel and after that it was a straight farm for the next 15 minutes. I managed to get into the flag room and defended it a little but finally i just gave up and said to myself if they are going to run the flag that I might as well just let them to end the game for my poor team.
if i posted this on a 20 would the reaction be any different? probably not. i'm already being told by one person here that i rolled the wrong faction. as if all i want to do is steamroll all day long. none of those players were level 24 either. it's your basic free to play twink that's doing this. aside from my 24 which i'll admit is geared pretty well, horde had basically no one. it was killing a team over and over that couldn't fight back. had i been on a 20 i would have probably afk'd out. the fact that i could rez and kill 2-3 people before dying again meant that i could wait it out and wait for that opportunity.
also, saying you choose to play AB because of hunters is just ignoring the problem. the bracket isn't balanced. at certain times horde may be better, but by and large the average horde pug is probably 7-8 players with around 750 hp unbuffed, maybe a twink or a 24, and someone with rez sickness. yes rez sickness. i did 4 games this morning and in 3 of them horde had someone start the game with rez sickness.
if this stuff keeps up pretty soon you won't have any games at all because no one is going to want to play on the horde side. the alliance that are so used to winning and so used to being able to GY farm for 20 minutes every game will make sure of that. it won't be 24s that ruin the bracket, but stupid 20s who don't realize you need both sides to queue to get a game.
If you are trying to balance horde out when they have 500-850 hp guys rolling a 24 isn't the answer. Instead, recruit f2p twinks. I haven't seen many from Aerie Peak GY farming (I'm not saying there's no1) but mostly from the other servers.
Edit: If horde got so many bad trials we can't do much about it, they are new to the game and the playerbase is much bigger than we think. There will always come new people, and who knows? In a month maybe alliance are the underpowered faction.
