People running past in AV

This really spoils the battleground. Some people want to have fun this means actually engaging the enemy in battles and then theres other people who will just run past all the way into base to take the towers and gy to win.
So if dont want to lose i now have to follow them for about a minute or two all the way back to base to stop them taking the flag, how does anyone find endlessly chasing people around fun.
So please stop being cowards and fight your way through instead of running through people and majaing the battleground boring as hell. Thank you.

I do defend but you cant always stop 1 or 2 people getting through all the time on your own. If your horde and defending ib to get to base takes around 1-2 minutes of riding. I want to actually fight people rather than chase them all day long capping flags, that is boring and pointless to me. Sure you win yay but did you enjoy it?
Id be happy if they fight their way through then take the base, but just running past you and taking the base on their own is extremely boring. AV is now about running past people not fighting and thats the problem.
I have no idea why the warlock thinks im a paladin, cos im not.

Fact is, AV is used only as quick way for people to pvp gear their alts (since nowadays it doesn't involve nearly any pvp at all save bunkers sometimes, more like a timed double raid). Once you have honor gear, you don't play it simply because it is stripped from any fun (unless you find funny riding for 3 minutes straight, wait next 3 for bunkers for cap and go all out on "boss" that goes down in 10 seconds). Some people say AV have talkable NPC (!), that you can turn in stuff from dead players (!), to summon more guards to help you, air strikes and big ass ? boss that kills for you (!). But of course that's only rumors, as no one living 80 could see it.
I so miss old Seed of Corruption fun :(.

Are you new to this game?
AV is always about quick wins.....not about turtles. Turtles are the result of people messing up......and fruitless. Sorry, but I don't enjoy 1 hour long BG that gets me a measily portion of honor. Most people don't.
If you desire melee, blood and gore......go fight in AB or WSG....or even EotS.

It doesnt have to be a 1 hour long battle, are you seriously telling me what you enjoy about wow pvp is taking down flags? If you like i can can come put one up for you in your garden and you can play taking flags up and down a pole all day and then pay me the wow subscription to keep it.
Wow pvp should be about combat and flags captures, not only clicking on flags sneakily which is what av has become unfortunately.

Yes i agree more than an hour is too long the max id like would be 30-40 minutes. No one wants to spend ten minutes wating inside the base for the 1 or 2 people who slip through the defense and thats the problem, bases are too easy for 1 person to take on their own. In my opinion it should take 3-4.
If they added more guards to horde base so 1 or 2 people couldnt take it that would be far better.

I love the complaints everyone has about everything in this game shut your whiney girl mouths and go play or don't play at all it's up to you but posting how no one wants to spend 3 hours being strategic is stupid.
As for PvP epics being called wellfare epics you have to earn those just like everyone else and everyone lets face Raid epics have become welfare epics when I was able to pug and clear 3 wings the second day I hit 80 on my DK adn get 4 new pieaces of DK tanking and DPS gear I had come to the conclusion that raiding is actually easier because you have 9-24 other people carring you for your "Wellfare Epics" rather than 1,2,or 4 people what is harder? lol Nubs L2P WoW

AV used to be about 6+ hour long games that were won in the end by summoning the avatar of nature, respective to the faction. Lokholar the Ice Lord for horde, can't recall the name of the one for alliance. More often than not they had to be summoned multiple times, because the other side had theirs up as well, and it became a battle of back 'n forth, with every place littered with bodies.
I'm not joking when I say that I remember playing an AV on friday evening for four hours, then going to sleep, sleeping for around 9 hours, and then waking up, eating breakfast and joining AV. I ended up on the same AV, and the battle raged for about seven more hours. That AV was at least 20 hours, and when I joined it, it had already began.
AV was a war then. Now it is a battle.
No, I am not new to this game, and AV hasn't been about all that since pre BC......4+ years ago. Nobody unlocks Lok.....unless they are hardset to lose, or just want to see what it was like when the game was in it's older days. And an AV that lasts longer than 25 minutes is a turtle....which is fruitless. If you desire more pvp melee with the enemy.....AB or WSG is your best bet, not AV.

I do remember when AV was played for anything other then the honor grind. When people acutally queued for AV because it was
fun
. When matches would last a day or more, like the famous 3 day AV on Illidan(US).
Then again, those were the days when I would also Wtfpwn alliance with a 2 hander imbued with Windfury. Nostalgia sucks, but at least there is arena which is not entirely as pointless as battlegrounds have become. I really wish they would bring back realm-only BGs though, and slow down AV like it was before.
