There are 2 other tings nobody mentions:
1. All private servers upon releasing new gear are unbalanced for few months because of donors. I'm not complaining about this, they pay so everyone can play, but it's a fact that PVP is unbalanced for quite some time. No matter how good you are, if u facing a decent player with full Grievous and u have more than half or about a half Tyrannical, u don't have a chance. Gap between 2 gear sets is just huge.
2. There is so many cheaters on Warmane that is becoming unplayable. And i have a feeling that over past 3 weeks amount just doubled if not tripled. I mean, just yesterday, on average, in 4-6 out of 10 games I was facing cheaters.
Most common ones are the ones that raise speed only by bit, which is not easy to notice for inexperienced players, but makes huge advantage.
Theyn there are GCD hackers. I don't know how they do it, cause GCD should be handled server side, but I've seen ppl with no CDs on their stuns or any other spells. I've seen warriors with infinite number of fears (like they are Locks), Mages that can poly me and my partner at the same time, and repeat it as much as needed. I also saw ppl which our stuns don't even scratch - AT ALL. I've seen my combat logs where 1 player hit me with 10-15 spells in 2 sec. Almost like one-shot kill. It is becoming so frustrating.
I used to record and report them, but there are so many that I just don't have the time or will to do so any more. Someone used to complain that some class fixes are game braking, well... they are nothing comparing to hackers.
