    Noobs in random bgs

    No, I'm not talking about underskilled people, I'm talking about idiots.

    Every random bg I get in has 1 or 2 people that are in horrible gear. Basically dungeon drops and greens, proving the fact that a tour of Timeless Isle for free 496 gear is a very hard thing to do even with Blizzard holding your hand and telling you where to go. I was in a Silvershard Mines pug where there was a boomkin with an agility polearm for a weapon, and in another there was a dk with a mail agility helmet.

    Honestly, how the hell do these people even get to 90 without having a damn clue what to do and how to gear up?! Don't they EVER read some wow forum?! Does Blizzard really need to dumb the game down even harder?! Apparently so, considering the gear changes next expansion.

    People gear up that way, you were in the same position yourself, how else should people be able to gear up in pvp?

    Really ?! With timeless isle giving free gear, how can you say that ?! Also, I'm pretty damn sure I knew what stats I need by the time I hit level 30 in vanilla.

    How dare people not be up to your standards when trying to gear themselves!

    To be fair, Timeless isle gear really gives people no excuse to be in questing greens in a random BG.

    I've seen a few too OP, it's fucking annoying. But nothing can be done about it.

    Just to show, putting in even the tinniest effort is too much for some who'd rather just straight off get carried and bring down their entire team.

    Yeah, how dare I ask them to ride around timeless isle and open chests so they have at least some decent gear when joining bgs ?! I'm such an elitist fuck!

    Questing is too easy these days. You don't have to even try to play properly to level a character.

    So ppl breeze to 90 and have learned nothing about their class. If they would have been roflstomped by some murlocs at level 12 they would have had to figure it out.

    That's my diagnosis.

    Being constructive feels good. You should try it.

    I dont know if its used in wow but some fps games refer to this sort of thing as "pub" meaning anything goes. And thats what random bgs are really no one is forced to have gear.

    It's still faster to gear up with pvp then farm tokens. And in most cases pvp gear has better stats and more gem slots.

    Molestron i totally feel you bro, i hate that im playing horde and 70% bgs per day i will always loose because of this kind or retards and whats even worse im level 90 for a month i play daily like 10 bgs and i have won just 1 alterac , blizzard should i dont know for BG like alterac to give people some kind of quest in the beginning for example some random guys will have quest to defend some towers others have to do something else and if they wont do their job they wont get any honor and isle of conquest, eye of storm damn horde are SO BAD!!! on this bgs.

    Wow needs a ranking system in place to put you with similar players with similar gear when you queue.

    I know the feeling but you don't know if that person is new and has no idea what timeless isle even is. The best thing you could do is just let them know with a simple whisper. I see people curse out others in random bgs because that person has no idea what the objective is. This only happens in random bgs, that is why it's random and you can play rated bgs with experienced people that have been playing this game. I just can't stand seeing people in bgs getting verbally abused with some crazy language over a game, I can only think that it must be children with all of this anger.. Last night some random guy said "you stupid f****dumb*ss", to my g.f. because she passed the guy up fighting in mid and didn't help. Too many people with all of this verbal abuse, I've never cursed or said anything bad to anyone in this game because that would make me a little B****, you never have anyone act like this in the real world for obvious reasons. So if someone is making you a little angry, try to help them out a little .

    I demand that all players going into BGs Be fully raid finder geared, there really is no excuse to not be you can pretty much afk through it.

    They just need to introduce ilvl based BGs. Period.

    It should be possible now, since they can merge whatever they want to create player pools of sufficient size.

    I also join BGs in greens, as soon as my chars get to lvl 90. Why would I waste time with something else? What for? To not have a few guys complain and to increase the winning chance of my team by a statistical 0,5%? No. It's still a waste of time.

    Yeah i should have just farmed timeless isle for several days instead of doing bgs because i got Bad RNG with gear.

    Your offensive language is....unnecessary.

    People have the right to gear up the way they want, an do the content they want. Yes, even if it means doing bgs in lvl60 gear. I agree that specific queues for fully pvp geared ppl would be nice, but that would bring many problems. Insulting people in greens just because they dont do timeless isle is non sense.

    If they played a single player game, I wouldn't give a crap, but bgs are about team effort and quite frankly I don't see even a minimal amount of effort from these guys, and I'm not looking forward to getting steamrolled because a couple of noobs couldn't be arsed to spend 30 min on the isle.

    All I know is that on my priest I had not pvp'd since, BC. I got the urge to start again, so spent the gold on the crafted gear and started farming honor. Took a few days but the crafted blues are almost all gone and his gear isnt too bad. People that dont invest the time or effort are annoying but there is nothing you can do about it. Even though it is simple to get the crafted set so they are at least a little bit competitive. Been that way for a while now. My first time in the Mines bg (dont even know the proper name) I asked what the plan was before we started and had one asshat say something not worth repeating but everyone else was helpful, so there is hope.

    Because you can spend 1 hour outside of BGs getting a full set of 496 pve gear. Then you don't suck in the BG, you'll win more, and get your pvp gear faster. Unless you just want to lose your way to gear, which is not fun imo.

    So I take it they never have to wait for the queue to pop? I'm pretty damn certain gearing up through the timeless isle is a lot faster than doing BGs. The intro quests alone grant you a piece of gear and if you take the effort to open all the chests on the isle (which you can do while waiting for the queue) you'll most certainly find multiple armor tokens.
