As a Rogue I don't get many moments like this, so just humor me.
This AV started off pathetically, but like all my BGs I always play to 100% of my ability. I never give up, even when things are hopeless (although I will retreat to fight a later day if it's an option). Anyway...
So the game starts and Ally makes the "lol galv" run that they oh so favor. It gets shut down and the paltry SH defense (consisting of me and a hunter) gets slammed by the might of the horde offense. It all went somewhat downhill from there for awhile: we fought valiantly at SP for a good 20 minutes but eventually lost it. Hope seemed gone, and the remaining defenders fortified themselves at the bridge preparing for our last stand.
Someone made an announcement saying he was going to go take towers for points if any would accompany him. Due to me already being on the bridge, I couldn't go and I knew the defense would need me. Around 15 or so ally left to salvage our points, and all hope seemed lost.
I can't really say how it happened. We fought and fought but the horde kept pushing us back more and more. We lost the north bunker, then the south. We kept being pushed back, all the way to the aid station graveyard (as in, the horde pushed past the flag like you're supposed to do). It was here that I got to not only see the strength of arena gear, but also of resolve.
Two (now known) same server paladins ran right through the middle of the horde offense and dropped consecrate on the flag. I had already been out of stealth as I was dealing with horde up in the top. Instead of just killing the closest horde to me as I normally do, I popped sprint and headed right for these two paladins. My health never went above 3000/10000 for the entire time this was occuring. The paladins kept healing me, and I ripped apart any horde who was foolish enough to get within arms range. I popped evasion, cloak, pvp trinket, blind, cold blood, everything I had. I don't even remember the exact specifics, I was just completely immersed in the game killing as many people as I could.
Still, after some time the paladins' mana ran out and shortly after did my health. I released and expected to be in the sanctuary, but no. Our last little valiant effort had bought enough time for not one, but two spawn waves. When I rezzed and moved towards the flag it was surrounded with the bones of all the fallen horde and ally, but neither of which were in sight: the banner stood there gleaming blue in all its glory with not a single cursed red player around it. We had held our ground.
Then comes the warcry from Drek (stormpike filth!). The horde realized their general was under a real attack as our 10 man offense had managed to pull through. The horde fleed stormpike but all was in vain. The 10 man Ally offense had grown into a 30 man offense. The two paladins and I still stood at the bridge with them /taunting any horde to bring it. I lay in wait in stealth to see if any would meet our challenge but despite their large numbers not one did. The horde general fell and the battle was won.
One of the BEST AV's I've ever played, mainly because I've never had a spartan moment like that before.

That sounds awesomely epic.
Wonderful tale.
Wonderful tale.
I'd rate you up for that, but I'm fairly certain that doing so would put a black mark on my permanent record. Instead, I'll just rate you up.

Yeah, those feel good.
This weekend, I played WSG with a guild Druid who also happens to be in a very decent Arena team.
I grabbed the Flag, brought it back to our base, cutting my way through the Horde like a hot knife through butter, my druid just following behind and keeping me topped off with ease.
So we hunker down in our base, the horde keep sending group of 4-5 Horde, but we dispatch them with ease. It's quite hilarious. I'm in the flag room, not even bothering to hide... they go on the roof, take a few shots at me, we go get them on the roof and kill them. Rinse and repeat 3-4 times.
Eventually, I realise the game has been going on for 25minutes, that it's still 0-0 with the Horde also keeping our flag in their base. I'm at 22HK-0Death.
While the Horde was incapable of killing us, our allies were also incapable of killing the EFC.
So I say in /bg 'Guess I got to do everything by myself. I'm getting their flag'.
I start to walk accross the field - with the flag. The Alliance sees me and freak out, I get called a noob on /bg, but still they follow me. The Horde attackers start focusing us down, but my druid and a 'pug' priest keep me up, I'm a whirlwind of death, killing Horde left and right.
I go up their tunnel, find the Horde warrior holding the flag with a Shaman. We fight. He dies. I take the flag back, and make my way back to our base to cap the Horde flag.
1-0.
37HK
0 Death.
Half the Horde team /afk'd, to be replaced by new faces. It didn't matter - the Alliance was following me around like my own personal bodyguards and the game ended 3-0 10 minutes after.
The Horde did manage to kill me a few time however... I think I ended with 45-4. :P
Merciless Gear makes you a god among men in Battlegrounds. It can be a lot of fun :)... to bad it gives crap honor :(

yes, theres nothing like arena gear and a good healer or two to take a bg from "fun" to "godly awesome".
ive said it before and ill say it again; the best force multiplier in WoW is the combination of a good support class who is supported by good dps. add in good gear to the equation and you get stuff like shao cackling manaically atop a mound of his fallen enemies, howling for more.
ahh, that takes me back.

Yup, nothing like fighting a warrior who's 2H has less dps then my MH while I have a healer on me to brighten your day.
Allies were turtling. Horde summoned Lokholar the Ice Lord. He grew ******* huge. GG allies.
i miss the days of summoned monsters and elite troops. makes me (almost) long for the time when you couldnt break a DB defense without a coordinated hit from lok, reavers, and wolf riders + 40 horde.
ill never miss the healing of old skool AV tho. so many friggin warriors are rogues. i remember once i was sole healer (out of 40!) with over half the raid conssiting of warriors and rogues. i ended making a "you want heals? roll a healer!" macro because of all the complaining. im only one man with so many cooldowns....

Yeah AV is nothing like it used to be... I remember some epic battles that lasted 4-8 hours... and once... I remember an old school AV with Ivus and Lok both summoned and killed..... everything destroyed on both sides..the works... AND... it lasted for 3 DAYS. NO I wasn't in it for 3 days lol... but I was in it several times over the same 3 days. You would get the Q pop in and be like omfg.... THIS AV AGAIN? LOL.
While those AV's were a bit extreme... I do miss the epic battles that sway back and forth in there.... It happens occasionaly nowadays but rarely lasts more than 30 mins -1 hour or so.
The worst thing about pvp nowadays?.. is all the fking crying and complaining about what other classes or factions can do... and the pathetic catering to classes and the game blizzard has done to appease the wave of new players that have come into the game.... the people who....
- have 4 or more gladiator pieces yet aren't even attuned to MC or have any
idea what old school raids were like
- have never even seen ubrs or lbrs of know what its like to keep running
lbrs to get the gems for the god damned ubrs key
- basically all the people who came into the game post TBC and think they
know the game because they run arena's and have an item or two.
Old school WOW was a LOT better than TBC is.... my only hope is for WOTLK to be better than TBC is

Oh go take your geritol you old codger.
What could you possibly think was 'fun' about having to grind LBRS constantly just so you could get access to a crappy 10-manned instance so you can get the key items for a 40 man raid so you can grind endlessly for epixxxxxx?
It's still a game for ****'s sake. They took out some of the headache of the process, so what? I'm sure you had your share of retards in MC or Onyxia or BWL...it's not like the attunement processes filter them out for you.
The "in the snow, uphill both ways" doesn't fly here. Blizzard made improvements to make the game more fun, simple as that.
