Blizzard owes you a swift kick in the ass, and I pray you get it one day.

Of course, I agree with you. deqer's comment is beyond absurd.

I am thoroughly convinced that is what s/he is going for...

As for no start left in AV... lead by example.. go get a tower back... no need to defend your own since it's not happening, except in my BG(group) where we get back capped all the time : )

Thats what I did all the time. You can forget getting one of the middle towers back on your own, because there are always at least 3 people in there. What I did was use my stealth abilities and some tricks to fool the guys in the southern towers. For example people often stand outside and dont guard the flag and with a shrink potion they wouldnt be able to see me when I was positioned well, even outside at the GY flag. Also sometimes there was only one or two guarding and I could kill them on my own and then take the tower back before someone noticed. It made the game a little fun, especially since with only that tactic I bought my team just enough time to compensate for the balance issues. If I was successful there, 99% of the time my team would win. Of course there were sometimes far too many guarding those towers, so I couldnt do anything about it. But if they now just need to cap the towers to win, they will guard those much better and thus I wouldnt be able to do that anymore. And you can forget it to ask people to help, because they wont, or are too stupid.

AV was the only BG I enjoyed because there was structure, strategy, and super awesome bosses to summon. Now, it's almost impossible to see Ivus, Lok'holar or any of the other bosses and it has turned in to a simple first to zerg wins. No backcapping, no forcing a wipe at Galv, nothing. With the resources being dropped more, I doubt we'll ever see any of the bosses again....and even if we do, they'll be dead in eight seconds.

Having looked at the most recent content for both WoW and FFXI (which I played for years), they now look really outdated to me. Guild Wars 2 has really changed my expectations. Never thought that would happen.

Had I known the game would turn out the way it did, I would not have bothered with it. Blizzard owes me compensation for many things. But their selfishness, cockiness, greediness, ego trippin' attitude will never show me a dime of compensation, for even the smallest of things. And of course, their EULA covers them from all that anyways. I hate companies like this. Hate what Blizzard has become.

I remember when they said they never again want to mess with AV. Not only since then, did they remove things that actually made it more balanced, now they also adjusted the reinforcements. Awesome. Even quicker and lamer games now, putting the alliance in an ever bigger advantage, since they can cap/reach things quicker.

I seriously dont care anymore, since I have finally completely deleted that POS game for good after 5.0, but its still interesting to see them break even more each day and seeing this game getting reduced to a scrawny skeleton of its former glory.
