I think it's actually hilarious that even after years of Lordaeron being out, people are still not BIS geared and have the audacity to complain about ICC/BR players.
wasn't the whole point of Lord to have a more retail like experience?
imagine if Blizzard after making the WOTLK expansion, never released Cataclysm or any other expansion whatsoever.
and it just stayed on 3.3.5 forever. You don't think there'd be 1000's of people BIS geared players, dominating the BG/Arena scene?
Im currently gearing my Hunter for pvp through BGs. which means queing atleast 20-50 BGs every single day.
and so far every single BG had 0 to 3 Lord players max. disabling Cross-realm BGs /WILL/ kill pvp on Lord. and if you think sitting in a BG que for 30+ minutes won't kill it, sorry to say it, but you're kinda delusional.
and on top of everything.
don't pretend that every single BG you enter, the enemy team has 15 BIS geared players and your own team is running around in 200ilvl gear.
there's plenty of times where your own team is OBLITERATING the enemy team and you Graveyard farm them for 20 minutes straight.
but I have yet to see ANYONE post a comment like "man, disable cross-realm BG pls. we are stomping these kids with BIS players from Blackrock, this is so unfair for them"
and you know why I never see posts like that?
because you only focus on the bad things that happen. you guys will win 30 BGs in a row and everything is fine. but as soon as you lose 1 BG because you saw a BIS Orc warrior with SMourne bladestorm kill 4 people at once, all of a sudden its the biggest problem in the world and these "donors" are ruining the game for you.
stop crying, play more, play better. get geared. and come talk again in 7 months when you too are BIS geared. I'll bet you $100 you've stopped complaining by then.
