Thursday night, while leveling Mini-Maerdred over on AD I decided to queue up for a Warsong Gulch match to see how the Experience is from PVP. Very quickly I knew we were in trouble. Just before the match started, the call came out that “We need some people on D.” I stuck around and played D. Nobody else did, not even the genius who had come up with the idea.

When the Druid, Twink Paladin and Rogue came in to take our flag, I was supremely overmatched. I think I got the druid down to about 90% health (remaining) before the Paladin and rogue cut me down. Gee that was fun. When I popped at the Graveyard, right back to our flag room I went, only to find the Rogue and a warlock waiting for the flag to repop. They killed me handily. PVP is fun guys…

The next time I popped at the GY, I ran up to the landing above the Flag room. The rogue had apparently had the same idea, and I was instagibbed. So much for Teamwork and being smart. From that point on, I decided to just play mindlessly like the rest of my team, getting HK’s in the open field, just waiting for the Horde to win the match so I could get back to Loch Modan and killing Troggs. I got three or four killing blows, 15 HK’s and died 4 times total. I didn’t get very much XP for it, but it was a fine experiment.

The thing I learned most byt this experiment was this. I still hate PVP.

Back to Questing. in a level I’ll be able to queue for randoms, and as a Feral Druid, I’ll be tanking, so that’ll be fun. Nice to learn that aspect of the game all over again, since it’s been about three years since I tried it. At least I’ll have a guild full of bloggers to run randoms with so I won’t have to pug mutch, and of course, my main’s guild is headed up by my favorite Bear Tank of all time, so I’ll be able to pull info from BBB whenever I choose. That’ll be fun.
