Most fun

AB - mostly because of the open scenery and the amazing Defiler's tabard
AV for my alliance
BFG, despite it being a little gloomy (sometimes around Mine I get stuck in fences )
SotA. Yes, I like it. Still I don't heh... care too much about the objectives but alliance is so bad here
WSG/TP

Alright

EotS, SSM

Would prefer not to

Kotmugu. This I don't understand with myself though, because I like killing other players and don't care too much about objectives, yet I can't stand this place
DWG. As a bg (as Horde) it's alright, but the RBG groups I'm with struggle to understand the concept of "not spreading out to all the bases + cart" which is unfortunate for my rating

On my blacklist (as horde)
AV and IoC. Need I explain?

Every time I get SOTA I debate killing myself.

[Aliessil]

Mmm, tough question! As Alliance and assuming roughly equal teams, I like all of them except Strand of the Ancients (hate vehicle fights!). Favourites would probably be ToK, AV. Also love TP / WSG as a druid.

Since that rarely happens:

Dislikes ..
Battle For Gilneas - it just drags on. I think either scoring speed should be boosted and / or bring the points required to win down to 1600, same as everything else.
Strand of the Ancients - vehicles! ><
Silvershard Mines - map feels unbalanced.

Favourites ...
Bearing in mind this is with typical random groups, I think IoC and AV are my favourites.


I have BfG and SotA blacklisted, and would love to be able to blacklist SSM as well.

Most Fun

Isle of Conquest. Even if it's pretty one sided most of the time. I'd still enjoy it even if it weren't a free win.
Classic AV. I miss it.

Blacklisted

Strand of the Ancients
Silvershard Mines

If you couldn't tell by looking at the two BGs I have blacklisted, I play Alliance. I hate capture the flag games and enjoy the "domination" games like AB or Gilneas. I love the 40v40 BGs, although they tend to be somewhat boring now because the Alliance teams usually dominate in them. Still, free conquest points are free conquest points, so I can't complain.

40v40 battlegrounds feel more like real PvP to me. The original AV was absolutely fucking perfect. To me, PvP doesn't get any better than that. The other battlegrounds that have 10/15 people feel like skirmishes....old AV felt like a real war. Epic slugfests in the center where both teams were trying to push each other back and gain ground, single players could avoid the combat and make a difference by doing the quests and contributing to get the stronger NPCs involved (and were often encouraged to do so), Ivus and Lokholar regularly made appearances, and matches lasted for hours (sometimes days, even).

It's a real shame the place got gutted so hard. Since the "reinforcements" bullshit got put in, it's just a race to zerg towers and the enemy boss and ignore all the other stuff in the BG. Matches never last for more than a few minutes.

Isle of "Why did I not imminently quit this BG?"
Strand of the @#%&ing Boring BG.

[Rorke]

Back in Wotlk I used to be avid about playing random BG's. Now I don't care about them anymore. When I do play them, the only BG I actually enjoy is Twin Peaks. Idk I just really like the layout of that map. Gilneas is pretty good too if you're winning.

I hate Arathi Basin the most. Most of Arathi Basin is decided within the first few minutes of the game and the map layout is just too big for 15v15. It really should be 20v20 or 25v25 but its not.

Strand of the ancients would be better if there was only one round that lasted 25 minutes. They would have to buff the walls a lot but I think it could work where if you start out defending, you need to hold for 25 minutes or else you lose the game. I hate how its two rounds because whoever wins the first round decisively usually just ends up steamrolling the next round anyway.

[Indifferency Hop]

AV best bg ever

[Bigbazz]

Eye of the Storm is my favourite.

AV is just an Alliance biased PVE map... It can be fun but mostly not. WSG is good but the rewards are terrible and it's a put off for that, AB is great. I really like Twin Peaks. Mostly though the older BG's I like most, I don't like the mines or the Worgen one, or the Gorge... The power orb one is fun.

[Evelyn]

I used to love AV, but lately I prefer to see these when doing randoms/rbgs.
