If you're not familiar with the situation on Stormrage, it's been bad. The Alliance to Horde ratio, which was bad before (like 2:1), has gotten worse in recent months as a few high-end Horde raiding guilds transferred out. Playing on the BGs there got completely monotonous; there were 1 or 2 Horde PvP teams running at any given time and if they didn't want to play AB, you didn't get to play, period.
I actually remember the situation on Stormrage and it *was* terrible. Of course the fact that I could only really log in at 12 midnight server time did not help, but even on those few occasions that I could log in for any decent period of time at peak time, it was just as bad. I think in my month or so that I spent being lvl 51-60 until I quit the server, I got into 3 AVs and no ABs at all. That's what happens when there is a 4:1 A to H ratio. Of course on my current server, I had instant ques for pretty much anything except AB, but it's all good as far as that even after the patch. My concern after thinking about things and reading WoWs forums, is that the Honor grind has just gotten worse for all those that can *not* PvP 20 hours/day. There used to be sort of "dead" times, but now all those that have a lot of time on their hands will be able to BG almost 24/7, leaving the rest of us far far behind. Sure, supposedly there will be more room for higher ranks, but I think this will make getting rank of let's say 8+ difficult, and 12+ impossible. Naturally, I am not talking about Rank 14, as that was impossible pretty much forever... well, for normal ppl that is.
Anyway, TBC should make all of this irrelevant... and meanwhile it'll be a synch to get Exalted in all 3 BGs. I went from about 5k into Revered to 9.5k in about 3 hours of AV. Let's see how difficult it is to move up from Rank 7. I am guessing with the new system, very.
As far as your experience in the BGs being targeted.... face it.... you are a Priest. Any player that knows something about PvP will tell you that healer squishies need to be squished first. Since Stormrage's H population is relatively small, they probably know each other pretty well even if they are not getting in as a team and know the strategies better than Alliance. Horde tends to be better in the BGs anyway, so they just all go for you. Enjoy ;)
