It is so incredibly frustrating to play on a server where you go days and days without winning WG. So frustrating to play on a server where you get camped 20-0 in wintergrasp. After days and days of WG, I sometimes find myself with enough marks to purchase gear, only to have to wait another 2-3 to win a single match. The fact that VoA is the single best way of getting a toon geared compounds this miserable lifestyle.
I cannot fathom why Blizzard is complacent with this issue. I suppose, in general, such a blatant discrepancy must not be common on other servers. But when it does happen, one side is punished tremendously for elements of the game outside their control. This is when the game no longer becomes fun; it is instead a chore and not something I can continue.
I already play on a battlegroup where getting new gear through BGs is near impossible due to W/L ratios. It takes so much time it is not worth it - sometimes literally hours and hours for 1k honor. While I accept this as something that can't really change, WG is simply the straw that is breaking my back. I hope rated BGs will fix some of this, but I doubt that there will be any substantial change. The top geared on both sides are just too unequal.
In the end, I desperately hope that my pleas will not continue to fall on deaf ears. This is a fix without any drawback; I do not ask that WG becomes an automatic tradeoff, just that it becomes possible for the losing side to win occasionally (despite being horribly outnumbered.) It would only require a simple rolling buff or debuff to one side after each consecutive victory. Again, I cannot express how frustrating it is to play on a server like this. My insides literally squirm thinking about how every time I zone into WG, I know I'm going to be camped by the 20th minute at our only controlled spawn point. Please, save us.
End.
