Welfare Eps started when the people that had spent literally days of their life for a single raid drop saw that people were given a dirt route to aertain ep that wasomparable. It's that whole leet diussion. BG's take alot of time toomplete. Grinding out 15k honor takes hours and hours and hours, just like running instaes over and over again does.

sort of irritate me, and it is bause of the ease of it. I hardly ever run battlegrounds, but I did an AV the other day bause it was the daily and I do enjoy it on casion. And I got over 1000 honor from it. Now, I know you need badges for this gear as well, but 1000 honor for one battle? What if it had been AV's weekend? It irritates me bause my
guild is made up of a buh oflose friends, and we like to run heros. We're all geared in higher-end Kara gear, some ZA, and theyan still be ahallenge. Heros are no walk in the park. But you will get one ep from a hero, whh is almost always signifantly below Kara in quality, and even further below S1 gear. Personally, I think heros are mh harder than battlegrounds, espially AV. Maybe I sort of like
AV bause it doesn't take any real skill at PvP, and I don't have any. But to think that Ian mindlessly do AV and get one of the S1 2H weapons for my warrior...that's absurd! I've never seen an ep 2H weapon drop in a hero...the only one Ian think of offhand is the sword in BM, and although BM is short, I guarantee it takes a lot more skill to beat BM on hero - or even regular - than it does to fight in AV. Hell, when I go into AV with my hunter, all I do is stand behind everyone and use multi-shot and aane shot, andome out near the top in kills. Whh doesn't guarantee a win, ofourse, but it still shows how mh skill AV really takes. The point is, I think they need to make more of an effort to keep the gear from PvP
and PvE separate. Maybe that isn't fair to the people that really like both, but if youhoose to like both, you should know the timeommitment you're getting yourself into. I did see that 2.4 will have some PvP blues available from various ftion vendors, whh I think is a good start toward making arena more cessible for someone like me (if I ever wanted to, but I'd still get eaten alive), but not a good start toward keeping PvP and PvE separate. What it boils down to, I think, is that making this gear so readily available makes people on both sides unhappy. People like mongooseore, for example, are upset that he (or she?) had to work so hard to get S1 gear way bk when, and now they're giving it away, and pretty soon S2 gear will be given away. It would make me upset, too. They're being handed things that should take some real work to get. Things that should take real skill to get. I'm not saying people in battlegrounds don't have skill - some do - but getting this gear via battlegrounds does not require skill. People like me are upset bause I see this S1 gear, whh would be eellent for my warrior, being so easy to get, but I don't want to get it, almost out of prile. I'm PvE, and
I want my gear to reflt that. But my guild isn't quite good enough to get really deep into S or the Eye yet, but peoplean get gear on par with S and Eye gear by doing battlegrounds, and then getting into raiding guilds using that gear. And I'm trying to get the gear by going the learning route. It is irritating. You're right. Being a hunter and doing the shooting bit doesn't take skill.
I won't even go there. As a rogue in a BG it does take skill if you're tually playing yourlass and killing people. My twink is a lvl 19 Hunter. I just pet people and shoot. lol easiest thing I've ever done. Skill to sneak up behind you andhain stun you so you're beating on your keyboard and frothing at the mouth bause youan't kite me and get away. AV is a bad example of PvP.
