So few questions/little bit of a rant from a new'ish 80 on Icecrown.

I hit 80 like... 4 days ago? And so far I've noticed that I encounter AV 90% of the time. (18 of my 21 BGs are AV.. I've gotten that one demo one... Uh strand twice and AB once.) Eh first lemme start with something else.

So on to the questions...

1 - RDF never works for me. I'm a 2.8k GS rogue looking for Normal dungeons. I actually sat down and watched youtube on my phone waiting for a group and 2 hours later I still had no dungeon. Is this bugged atm? And how can I get past it/when will it be fixed? I left Lorda because I wanted to have RDF and wanted to play more casually.

2 - Is AV being the BG 90% of the time intended? It seems everyone alliance and horde doesn't like it and it takes nearly an hour each game. I am trying to get my honor gear but it's taking forever thanks to hour long AV which (Not complaining but...) the alliance doesn't seem to win.

3 - About the alliance losing... There seems to be SO MUCH HATE in the BG chat. People saying "Server" never lost until the merge and the other server is full of noobs etc.. Wondering if I should just make a horde toon for pvp because alliance can't seem to win BGs. (At least when I'm in them) And strangely enough horde can't win WG... Kind of a loss - loss type situation here. Does anyone else who's alliance experience more loses than wins?

4 - Prices.. Sweet jesus the prices are so high here. It costs 2000g to buy a single piece of my 78 rogue pvp set? People keep QQing about low geared players in BGs but how can I afford them when they are that much. What's up with the high prices? (Also before you point at me and say I am the sole reason the alliance loses in AV, I camp the horde base attacking their towers and averaging about 7~12 attacks/and mine takeovers each game so I am being useful distracting a couple of hordes who run back after me)

5 - About number 4 if someone has any advice on how to get gold on the server please tell me. I have maxed skinning and mining but everytime I go to skin gorillas I get killed by hordes and everytime I go to mine I can't get to it before another player does (Slow mount) or I get killed by another guy who is farming... So seems those two aren't really gonna work for me.

1) solo queue is bugged(unless there's agroup searching for replacement) and no eta atm. To do rdf you need to form your own group. btw you prob can start doing fos pos.
3) Prob we horde don't care about it. Seriously, in old core we definitely can get 2 pve gear for each toravon downed but now it's quite common to get full pvp loot.
4) Do you know that the prices of icc trash boes are around 20k last year?
5) Get faster mount i guess. I always have my toons get epic flying when they reach 80 shortly.

1 - Ahh okay thanks man. That makes sense.
4 - Never played here so nope hah.
5 - Can't afford it yet...But I guess I'll save up.

your #2 point has about... 30ish whine threads on the forums already and I expect there will be some sort of a fix for it soon just by the amount of hate it's causing

I've been around forums for a good time and I can tell you this is what you find most of the times, "Ally loses every BG" and "Horde can't win anything". The funny fact is, both players from different factions says exactly the same thing about their own faction.

If you are a solo-player its normal that you're going to lose more often. Your chances to win are even lower if you're a ungeared solo-player.

AV is truly glorious, makes the 500-1k HKs a day much easier, but it's just RNG and server population.

I don't understand all this "WHY DOES ALLOINCE LOZE??" because I RARELY lose a battleground, even when facing (notice the quotation marks) "horde premades" who just get roflstomped anyway. Unless the almighty <Ohdo> is in que, there is no hope for a horde victory. Blame cenarius for that one.

The high prices of BoEs are irritating, but I'm sure we'd all rather them at 1-20k than 100k each like they used to be. Just grind out pvp or pve to get specific items like gems and primos to make bucket loads of cash and you should be alright.
