Since the Lich came out, there has been a huge decline in people participating in the traditional BG's on our battle group. This is due to two reasons; 1 - tokens are now pretty much useless, and 2 - you can obtain more honor in running one WG and doind the dailies than running a BG.

Personally, I love WG. I run it over and over, even once I've turned the dailies in for the day. However, the honor obtained from running the dailies is essential to upgrade to basic Hateful Glad soon after hitting 80. As it stands, and with the lack of traditional BG's being run (I mean, a 3 hour wait for an AV on AV weekend!), the dailies in WG are pretty much needed for pvp'ers to obtain the honor fast so they can become competitors at pvp once hitting 80.

Right now, I think we get somewhere in the region of 6000 honor from turing in all 5 dailies. That means each q's honor is around 1200 per turn in. Considering many of us do all of the dailies every day, we would need to be totally compensated with around 8400 honor per turn in every week. That means we should get (theoretically of course, because I don't think blizz will implement this) 42000 honor fo all 5 q's on turn in once a week. To give less honor than that would be totally unfair, if they plan to remove the dailes.

I personally think that if Blizz are going to remove the daily q component from WG, then they should not do it completely. For example, to get people into WG on a daily basis, make sure that Victory In Wintergrasp is a daily quest. If it's not, we're going to have 2 full wg's a week...one where Horde wins, and one where Alliance wins. Even if people obtain the quest sporadically through the weeks, it is only going to be the Tuesday WG that's going to be full, as tht's when most people are going to pick it up.

I actually think it would be better for there to be more dailies in WG, even for less honor. That would encourage people to visit and participate in the battles more frequently.

while i agree with some things mr. run-on sentence said here, (it's called punctuation, timmy. don't be afraid) my idea would be to put a dome over the battle area when a battle starts and instance it out like AV. 40 vs 40.no more raid invites, just pop ya in like a good ol' instance. then give up on the concept of one side controlling after for shards. let everyone have 'em. just give everyone on the winning side in their particular WG a nice buff or something as a reward.
this is just a basic idea, i don't know if it would work or not. i do know something has to be done, because the current system is horrible and i don't think limiting the rewards is the answer either.

I may be in the minority, but I like WG, and could care less about the shards. Anything that keeps my computer from lagging is a good thing. Now I just have to remember not to run it on Tuesday and the rest of the week it should be more fun, less mindless frustration.

It's funny how the o-board is one blue post and 9 pages of people saying 'This is a stupid idea' with reasons, and yet Blizzard will still do it anyway, and yet when 3 people cry about how a ret Pala hurt them in pvp Blizzard are all over it with a nerfbat, sorting it out.


I think Bliz basically has a brain disorder where they think every idea is a good idea, whether it was them who thought of it or the players.

So now ever fewer people will have any reason to come to wintergrasp...wonderful. Just what our server needed.
