So by you saying LFR and Flex is not real raiding you are also saying there was no real raids or raiders in Vanillia/TBC/Part of Wrath and I bet a lot of people would disagree with you on that.
    lol What? LFR is nowhere near even MC raiding sorry. LFR is on par with 0 drake OS in ToC gear.

    On topic:

    Sorry but I refuse to believe the OP with his little cut and paste screen capture that could have been altered. There's no reason to not post an armory link other than you're hiding something.

    how do you lose that many in a row. do you know how to play the BG right? or are you just going for the killing blows?

    The OP's situation of a 60 BG loss streak is total bull; I've been pvping forever since BC came out and I've never, ever, encountered or heard of a BG streak that horrendus. I've heard of 15 BG loss streaks, but never more then twenty.

    Even if u stand AFK in 60 BGs, the odds of not winning 1 is very slim. Other than that, the only way i believe that u spend 3 months getting the sigils, is if u ran the wrong LFRs for them, as ToT doesnt drop them.

    I agree that the legendary quest takes a bit too long sometimes, if unlucky with RNG, i just got mine 2 days ago, BUT, it is however a legendary item, so it should take long to get.

    This kind of QQ post, i think u just made because it is a desired item, that u couldnt get from charrity as fast as u had hoped.

    In my eyes, you shouldnt even be able to get the legendary Q items from LFR, only real raiders should get it. As it is infact the "best" item in the game atm.
    no such thing as wrong LFR. sigil drops in all LFR's even Siege of Orgrimmar just a heads up. And your real raider talk how do you feel if next tier only had 5 bosses.

    It happens trust me it does. when the faction you are on is god awful and gets steamrolled every game by 200-1600 scores trust me massive hour upon hour of losses do happen. i have a perfect 2 wins in 2 matches of temple and 2 wins in 20 matches of the mine. 18 game losing streak in mine before i got the 1 win i needed months back. And that is all PvP i will do this expansion and i hate that PvE players are forced into PvP to get a PvE item. Just imagine the outrage if PvP players where forced to down normal mode content for a PvP item.

    Actually, I'm assuming his odds of winning a battleground are 40% by default, but even if we assume an average win rate of only 10%, the chances of losing 60 in a row are like 0.18%. There's no battlegroup or faction losing 90% of games, either.

    You're basically just assuming that is always the case.

    I doubt hes lying.. I spent 3 weeks of doing many matches per day, trying to do the two of them on my main...I feel your pain. The titan runes took me 10 weeks to get all of them as well... RNG FTW

    Look at Whirlwind Ally side... last I checked they won less than 23% of matches. Worst win % in all of warcraft.

    Even with a 77% chance of losing, the odds of losing 60 in a row are about 0.000015% or fifteen one-millionths of one percent.

    This. Did. Not. Happen.

    The issue I'm having is trying to get a group for celestials. For those that say "download Oqueue", I say Curse has it being evaluated and it is unable to be downloaded. This is horse crap...I have the achieve for the celestials but I still have to do all of them again? I've managed to kill two but no one seems to be around anymore for the other two- Timeless isle is empty now as there is no need for the gear or anything else now so no more groups....UGH!

    Where do I "look" for this? Oqueue? That does not reflect random BG performance of non-oqueue groups.

    This forum would be a hundred times better if there was a rule against not reading the fucking thread before you post and make an idiot of yourself. Then I wouldnt have to see the same fucking post over and over again that's already been refuted.

    The OP posts proof twice over and the inbred trolls keep moving the goalposts.

    I remember my battleground experience going something like this.


    YOU WILL FUCKING PICKUP THE BIG GLOWY BALLS AND DEFEND THE TEAM MEMBERS WHO HAVE THEM

    OR SO HELP ME GOD I WILL RIP OFF YOUR HEADS AND SHIT DOWN YOUR NECKS

    NO YOU DONT RUN INTO THE MIDDLE YOU GRAB THE GODDAMN BALL


    Seriously I was at my wits end, players are terrible these days. Id see a ball sitting in its corner for like 5 minutes //

    Odds of losing 60 in a row: 0.000015%
    Odds of someone posting fake proof on a forum: Somewhat higher

    I beat the BG part of the questline on my first try with each BG. Took me a few weeks to get the secrets and I've only had 2-3 Titan Runestones per week, will get my cloak next week. I started the power/wisdom stuff at the start of the expansion though, and basically came back in 5.4 around halfway through the test of valour.

    Sorry but losing 60 bg's in a row is just bullshit.

    It's not that impossible, depend on where you play.

    Actually playing on french server on alliance side. French are just TERRIBLE at pvp, really they do. Being roflstomped by every single english or german team (on every single BG, even AV is a horde wet dream against french...). The only "fair" (still horde dominated but you can win with a full random team) matchup are VS other french team, but population being what they are you rarelly match against them.

    Tried one or two month ago to do the quest with my monk alt a tuesday afternoon where I had time (with no friend online). I was prepared for a hard time , but what I saw was worst than everything I could imagine.

    It took me 37 BG too have my two wins. Sadly statistics don't work anymore on the armory but I litteraly only BG'd with my monk for this quest. Never done it before never will after (even if I played arena last season on my horde WW on another server), so it clearly shows 35 losses for 2 wins.

    And having tried a few BG after that with my PVP main it was not just bad luck. They really are that bad recently. It hurt you to play with people like this, really, hurting (you have nearly always 2-5 fresh alt in blue/greens VS a full at-least-honor-geared team). And it's not just me being soooo bad that I'll make my team loose. I tried finding someone from UK or german server on OQ to queue BG just the two of us -> 100% win VS french for now, simple as that (we always do this now when we want to PVP with a few friend, let someone from a different country server tag for us).

    I don't know for the OP. But there is some massive imbalance problem out there.

    That is actually not the case when you break it down by battleground. Both Temple and Silvershard are dominated by Horde, which has, for whatever reason, fairly lopsided victory ratios.

    If you are trying to win one of those BGs in a situation where you are facing oQ teams and you're not on one yourself, your chances of winning aren't 10%. They are 1%, or .1%, or maybe as much a chance as you would have if you decided to play tennis against Serena Williams for money.

    I doubt that Blizzard really likes this situation but, whatever, OP *COULD* get himself into premades with approximately zero difficulty, and scrape out a win in at most a few games.

    Depends on the premade. Lots of premades won't want people like him along because they're not there for the PvP. They'll view it as a waste of a spot and a waste of their time.

    *shrug* Blizzard likes trying to force players into different parts of the game, even though the only people that are happy about this are the elitists who already do both PvP and PvE, and enjoy the opportunity to make snide comments at the expense of everyone else.
