    The new auction house changes are pretty nice, been using those a bit since the patch came out. (:


     


    I haven't tried out the random battlegrounds yet, it seems to only be for level 80 BGs. None of the characters I play show anything about random battlegrounds, it still has the old que system in place (I don't play my 80 anymore, just my 50 priest^^)

    So glad I left WoW now . I enjoyed the battlegrounds but doubling honor for honorable kills will lead them to being even less tactical and promote random killing .

    You really have to do premades if you want to experience what Battlegrounds are really like. The random thing is fun but it is still just a bunch of idiots killing eachother without playing correctly.

    Only in WoW will you be rewarded for failure!


    "Losing a Battleground using the Random Battleground option will award players with 5 Honorable Kills worth of additional Honor currency."


     


    The other changes look ok.

    Still several classes that need buffs and specific 'spec's' within those classes that need love too. 


    Instead... they just buff honor to try to keep people playing. 


    I enjoy PvP in other games.  I don't enjoy PvP in WoW.   I am still enjoying the other portions of the game to a degree, but the burnout may have finally set in. 


    Bring forced to play a certain spec or class to see a high level of success in PvP is bullsh*t.

    Blizz = bunch of idiots.. of course its going to be random killing..

     where teh hell is the strategy? then again BG's have never really involved strategy... i think honor for kills needs to be be thrown out completely.. it should be based on your participation and  helpfulness.. somethign creative that wont penalize ppl who suck that much but at teh same time doesnt allow people to rack up points quickly..




    if anything, half the honor rewards from its original giveout.. i would even s upport quartering it.
