WTF, over? You can't run heroics or lvl 80 raids before you hit 80, why the hell should you be allowed to farm equal/better gear AND have a superior way of leveling at the same time?

Another failed PvP system by Blizzard.

Just be happy you get XP at all IMO.

As much as I did like farming some AVs, (I only got 1 level out of the whole deal) I'd have to agree. Sure it was cool, but it was a bit OP as far as leveling goes. Go quest. it won't kill you, I promise.

It was fun while it lasted... It was a bit crazy... I mean no other way i can think of to get 3 pieces of ilvl 213 gear before you hit 80... I had it in my bags and equipped it right away, replacing my mid 60s blues and greens... I still plan on leveling my druids in there. The BoA gear is awesome for BG leveling, as with a lack of quest rewards, its your only way of gear upgrades on a consistent basis.

I'm sad to see it go however. I need to find that macro to mark afk on all 5 at once, boot out the losers faster. That has been and always will be the best way to make AV better. Ridding the system of the leechers will make it better for everyone (except leechers of course, but they can DIAF) I like the idea of "inactive" persisting through multiple BGs, Why should we have to keep reporting the same people over and over?

Anyone have a macro to mark someone AFK with all of your toons at once?

Not sure if there is a command line for it, but there is an API that takes a unit-id. Could do it with a target most likely. If I work something out I'll let you know.

I know it was a bit crazy before, but doing this without even a patch note is harsh. Whether it is right or wrong is irrelevant. I had plans I was happy about and this prevents them. This upsets me and I don't like playing games that upset me. Am I going to quit over this? Not likely, but that copy of Aion that wouldn't have gotten opened till the weekend is already installed and I'm wondering why I'm grinding on wow when I could be doing new quests in a new game that I had fun on in beta. Meh. Blizzard SOP: kill a bug with dynamite.

I am with ya on that. It was pretty crappy thing for bliz to do. I would be ok with the change if the queues for AV were the same, but shit they are already long and will only get longer it seems. I love the Inactive thing now, I can get people out of the BGs so much easier. I think it has the chance to be abused.

Well, I guess half is better than none. It does still give an extra way to gain XP than we had before but dammit!

While it sucks that those of you with level 80 mains cant level up / pvp with your group... What a bummer as a level 80 character trying to actually win the match when a group of lowbie guys show up. The power difference between 79 and 80 is potentially huge. Im glad 80s got their own.

Except 80 bracket is now one end boss mad rush fest again,the same thing over and over and over,boring,and not to mention the q.:mad:
