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.

Will it make it worse? I'm not sure it will in the long run. As people move through - and therefore out of - the system, it becomes easier to gain rank as competition decreases and teams solidify. (In the recent months, people have been taking a day off during their rank 14 grind!) Couple that with the increased percentage of players that can reach rank X*, then you see a decrease in the time required to grind a rank.

Stormscale has always had a strong Oceanic community, which meant WSG or AB were generally running 24/7. Yet even then there was a limit on how long the main PvP team would run, and the length of that run decreased over time.

However, I'm not expecting to gain much rating this week due to the surge of PvP activity. It will be a matter of seeing how it pans out over time.

With the social thing, I am missing seeing familiar faces. However, I'm really enjoying chatting to new people as well. It's just really nice to meet so many new people in the 40-49 bracket.

PS. Bolty, that quote in my signiture was from a priest that I thought I'd pinch. I also hate dying before I get out of the charge stun. :rolleyes:

* I'm presuming that's what blizard has done to "ease the honor grind". It's what they did last time, and makes a certain amound of sense. I'd still prefer to see them drop the decay percentage a little, but... (Yes, I know the patch mentioned a reduction in the multiple kill penalty. However, if Blizzard doesn't understand how that will have absolutely zero affect on the honor grind I'll go hee.:)Again, it's just a matter of waiting for the system to be reverse engineered so we can see what the changes are.)
