You don't do battlegrounds? Report why!

[Niyu]

I'd like to hear why you don't do BG. Simple reasons. No need elaborated explanations. And no need arguing peoples reason. We got plenty of other threads for that so let's have some knowledge of what we are arguing about instead ok?

If you already PVP a lot, but still have reasons. This is not meant for you. This is meant for those who avoid BG altogether or do a bare minimum to achieve something simple or to check how it is. Often right before ragequitting with the comment "i'll never do BG on this server again". WHAT produces such a comment?

If your reason is you don't like PVP, then why don't you like PVP? Because it is a waste of time from a PVE perspective? Or time restraint in general?

This could evolve into a broader poll under a more sophisticated system.

Unfortunately many have left the scene long ago "because reasons" so the query will trend away from accepted systems that are established and favoured by the active community. This is an attempt to shed light on the wide reasons.

Famous reasons are:

*Twinks
*Class Unbalance
*Cross Faction
*Time
*Toxic People
*Exploits that never get fixed

Because 40%~ of Horde BG players twink. And when the faction is underpopulated you meet the twinks in every BG. Where on the Alliance side only 4%~ twink and it's nowhere near enough to make a difference toward Horde teams that are effectively stacked with twinks.

My reasons for not playing it:

- The classes with + to run speed are having advantages over others in a flag race. Which leads to another problem for me: I like to face enemies - not to chase them trying to stop them from doing objective.
- The BG's are screwing the accuracy of PVP stats by giving you credit for kills you haven't done (while if you stick only to world PVP you know the exact count of murders you have done).

Imo battlegrounds were poorly designed and never polished, even the high amount of honour given there isn't motivating to play it. Don't know why others are so into it. There is better games were made for large scale combat.

Y'shaarj: horde win 99% of bgs due to being fully geared, more populated, and shamans. pvp imbalances also.

i basically only log in, pick a few herbs, sell a few potions, and log out.

merge the servers already @Kestrel.

Simply have no interest in pvp, and i find it boring. But as far as i can tell most do BGs every now and then, i am one of the few who never bother. There is no big reason beyond the first point though, simply not something i enjoy in games.

No point in playing much PVP as a warrior with a dungeon-level 2h so I'll probably give it another try after p3

Too many twinks. Encourage people to do warmode but make BG's miserable at the same time, it's kinda boring.

Too many times I see the GY being camped in WSG, unable to leave. The only way to actually play was /afk and eat the 15min deserter.

For leveling:
1. Twinks
2. Experience reduction done on this server

For 60:
1. Imbalance
2. Lack of gear on my part
3. Lack of rewards
4. I suck

While leveling, the pvp xp reduction killed it for me. I'll still que but I really enjoyed the alternative path to leveling.

At 60, nothing is stopping me really. Having better rewards would be cool but i also love end game pvp, and even if my gear sucks I can still find ways to be useful.

Because I'm crap at PvP.
