Long Alterac Valley

Some of you might not know about Lok, he is a level 80 elite who the horde can summon. Typically this doesn't happen because the games are so damn quick, this morning when I logged into AV it was a big battle mid field.

Back before they ruined AV, I remember games going on for half a day sometimes. I remember sometimes I'd go to sleep, and when I woke up, the same battleground would be going. They were epic battles.

Indeed. 41 minutes is nothing. I remember pretty routinely getting in ones that lasted multiple hours

Yea, the good old days of joining an AV at its start, playing for an hour, leaving, come back a few hours later and rejoining the same one was great.

I hate it when the battles last forever, I like getting my honor fast.

Seriously, who plays the game to have fun? Back to grinding!

41 minutes is actually a long time considered the state of AV now-a-days. I tend to run around anouncing that it is a game and we have to have fun, That statement typically follows someone saying, "You fucking cunts, learn how to fucking play you need to kill BAL!!! Fucking idiots, now we lost".

I also noticed that your gear doesn't mean jack shit in battlegrounds. Grats you can 1v1 someone to death, but can you 5v1? Doubtful, my Hanturd is so undergeared, yet im killing warlocks (in s3) left and right. Arena I'd get my ass handed to me on a silver platter, but what fun is arena? It's all about the battlegrounds.

I think the biggest reason world pvp sucks on WoW is how long it takes someone to get to where the battle is, also there is no indication of where any world pvp is going on. You are forced to run around in a ghosttown till you randomly find someone who is flagged, and odds are he is alone. Hrmm...

Longest game ive been in was somewhere around 30 hours. That was FUN.

Were you in it the entire time?

Probably for 1/4th of the game. I also remember falling asleep and waking up to the same game.
