I've been doing PVP like a BG-crackbaby. I never thought I'd find it this much fun. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with the fact that I can only play WOW in spurts at the moment, and the reduced queue time allows me to pop-in very quickly and play. The first couple of days after the patch I had horrible lag in WSG and AB, but not anymore. I've read that others aren't fairing as well. Guess Illidan gets lag in the dungeons but not in BGs. LOL
I wonder if I would have had as much fun if I'd really given it a shot on other toons. Not that I hadn't, but the queues combined with twinks and constant losses didn't make for a fun time. Now I'm playing a wanna be twink, no queues and even if we lose, a chance at getting into a winning group is only seconds away.
Pretty decent loot for the honor. I purchased the Team Insignia for breaking immobilizing effects and the cloak for AR and STAM. I skipped the necklace because mine is better. I'd like to get to Sergeant Major for the bracer but I'm not thinking that will happen. I'm very close to leveling out of my BG bracket and will probably go back questing, farming and 5-mans. I need to start collecting some healing gear from the instances. It's not like I can't go back to BGs if I find myself bored in the future. However, it does suck that your rank deteriorates. It's a good thing that Blizzard is going to change the Honor System.
Saylah,
We're in the same Battlegroup you and I. Battlegroup 7. Illidien and Kirin Tor. Cool. So if you ever run into Blackhoof, a lovable huggable Tauren Shammy, please just wave. No face melting please. :)
But I'm finding my NE Hunter, level 48, brought out of retirement, 4 HK's to his lifetime achievement, he rocked in AB tonight. We didn't win any matches, :/, but I topped the kills chart each time. Last match only the Blood Guard Scattershot beat me. Good kitty! It's like Hunter = chart topper. And that's with a Demon Killing Enchant on my Tusker sword for the glow. I'm a sorry Twink. But not a bad DPS. And I haven't really played him in months and months. Hunter truly is easy mode. Lucky for me.

LOL - I'm going to look for you! My Shadow Priest is Alysianah. I'll try to at least wave before I melt, but in such instances it is better to melt and ask questions later. :-)
Today I leveled out of the 40-49 bracket :-( I wasn't in the mood to level and instances take too long for during the week, so I farmed some herbs. I've been 300 for a long time but wasn't playing her out in the landscapes to actually harvets.
I do hope to see you in a BG. What a freakin hoot that would be!!
