WoW pvp competition is dead, so its the community.
Arena junkies is crap,full of boosters/wintraders which ask legit ppl for achiev so you can write their old forum lol
AJ is a win trading fuck fest. 90% of those "glad" titles are win traded. I wouldn't seek any advice from them. Quite a few servers have high end PvP guilds with legit 2400+ players. Typically if you're not an ass and you catch them just sitting outside SW/Org waiting for a queue they will answer your questions. Live streams / youtube videos help alot. I know people bash guys bash "swifty", but the information he tells people isn't wrong. Keybind your stuff, make macros, put yourself in bad situations to force yourself to out play the other team, etc...
I think a lot of the old sites went down the tubes, what happened to Elitist Jerks?
AJ elitism was a by product of the rating requirement to post in the first place. It worked to begin with but then when every dickhead managed to get glad with the amount if exploits/win trading going on it turned into a bunch of weapons grade wankers jousting over who had the biggest epeen. Personally I've always preferred the open forums even tho I play at over 2.2k. Mainly because of the broad range of questions that get asked. Yes a lot of the same shit crops up time and time again be occasionally someone with fuck all wow exp comes out with a awesome line of thought, purely cause they are not thinking about things the way a lot of experienced wow players think due to playing the game for so long.
We have a saying in the army that is "there is no such thing as a stupid question, because guaranteed someone will be thinking the same thing as you and is just to afraid to ask!" "Knowledge is power!"
Arena junkies used to be THE site when folks talked about PvP. But since cataclysm most people quited and never to return..
This.
Good luck finding helpful people on Junkies Only forums, it's just people crying about how shit the game is and trolls circle jerking for +rep with funny "xDdxDd image" posts. Or "elitists" who think they are teh shit with their 2 x Rank 1 helms from TBC. Garbage gamers. xP
I really liked the forums, AJ has been going downhill (faster than Flash) since Cataclysm tho.

Hi
AJ back in wrath when I used it was awesome, lots of helpful stuff. I got bored with pvp though and haven't had a good reason to check them out since cata, sucks to hear what happened to the site lol.
super mad i guess?
anyways admittedly the site is dropping in population, but i still like not having to see 18 page threads on chaos bolt being op..
or people suggesting 100% crit trinket isnt a big fucking deal,
or people arguing that trip dps is a legit 3s comp,
or telling me how well resil scales over 70%,
or trying to convince me that good rogues wont take cloak and dagger [wtf?],
or getting me banned for calling someone out when they complain that it's too hard to remember whether or not they spec'd KJC on their lock.
i like this forum too.. but sometimes... smh.
arena junkies is basically only useful for getting a good laugh out of the ancient arena rage ms paint thread. So good. LOL
Pressing 1-4 in PvE takes enough skill to create elitists now? Wow has progressed indeed. In my days of raiding you could just make-by with pressing 1 and 2, but hey, what do I know about playing an Arcane mage.
Skillcapped is a great site for finding the info you need, provided that you have some money to burn, because there isn't much info there.
No single site is good for PvP information I have found.
You have to visit multiple sites (yes, even AJ) and read posts from those few players who are a) good and b) write good posts.
A good example is Craze or Tosan on skill-capped.com forums (don't have to pay for reading those).
But there are others as well. Also on AJ there's still tidbits of good info to be found.
But 90% is crap on all PvP sites.
