Moving. Again.

Can anyone suggest a realm and a Battlegroup that isn't full of retarded alliance, where the horde don't steamroll almost every AV they get into and where Alliance wins more than loses in their other BGs?

lol.

Yeah, I'm moving my toons again to another server, I want to find one that has a less competitive Battlegroup. I know that sounds like a douchebag thing to do, but honestly the only people that I have played 5s against this month is either 2300 rated or 1500 rated teams. Mostly I want a new home, and a new guild. I have some friends on this server but I'm interested in a new home.

thanks for any advice,

You might want to try the new battlegroups. I forget which ones I think there are two pretty new ones. The older/more competive battlegroups usually have 1-3 servers that all the Arena Junkies gather. I am just speaking about arenas I have no idea about BGs on those.

I believe Emberstorm and Whirlwind are the two I am refering to about being newish. I will edit once I can confirm. I play on Nightfall so there is KT,DW and BR that are the Arena Junkie servers and I dont recommend it.

I'm in Cyclone and the alliance are pretty good here. They probably win alot more then they lose. When I play Horde (which is most of the time) we lose almost every single BG match. At the moment I am leveling an alliance team on Azjol-Nerub who are 77 ATM. We are pretty much a shortbus server when it comes to PVE progression though. Alliance is better then Horde by far here, but still way behind.

Emberstorm seems good, if you want Alliance wins, Whirlwind was a good one before i transfered

Emberstorm is the worst US battlegroup there is. Link. I had my main on Nordrassil for about 2 years before I transferred off to Tichondrius. I feel much more at home in the BGs over here on Tichondrius. For multiboxing though...I can't honestly say seeing as I don't have my characters up to 80 yet.

EDIT:
If I might add on Emberstorm in AV the Horde would force a bottleneck at IBGY and screw the whole game a lot more often than I've encountered on Bloodlust so far. I've jumped in many ABs and EotS on Bloodlust that have steamrolled and 5 [or 4] capped everything and won in minutes. Rarely would this happen on Emberstorm. I do not like WSG at all so...it's always excruciating when I have to get some of those marks regardless of what battlegroup I'm playing in. :) By the way I'm on the Alliance side.

For BGs alone BG9(Tich is on BG9) is ok. If your going there for arenas, its one of if not the most competitive BG for arena. I.e. Alot of people transfer to tich itself and other bg9 servers for high arena competion.

Twisting Nether I would not reccomend, alliance wins alot more of the bg's but the Arena's are not to bad. But the alliance here (and horde) came from a state school.

I'm definitely not saying BGs themselves on Bloodlust are the best in the world....but I'm having a much better experience on here than Emberstorm. Alliance is actually winning in BGs. There are plenty more pre-mades [or 'orgs' if you will] on Tich compared to Nordrassil. I haven't had a real chance to arena yet because I'm trying to squeeze out all my RAF levels before June 17th [I'm behind because I was slacking :)]. My 2 buddies from Nordrassil wanted more competition than Emberstorm could offer in Arenas so we all transferred. It's only been a few weeks but, they're having a tough time adjusting. Of course, they play 2v2 so take what I say about Arenas with a grain of salt when comparing it to any 5v5 stuff.

... I'm coming from Bloodlust and all the alliance have downs, they cant follow directions, defend or play a game right to save their lives. I don't know what times of day you play, but my experience on that BG has been horrid so far this year. I have puished really really hard for the 1724 rating I have, and I know the same effort would result in a 2000+ rated team on another battlegroup.

Emberstorm alliance win 60-70% of the AV games I'm in, although they do tend to be pretty incompetent (zerging into drek's room with no gy and towers up). 5s queues are pretty sparse, I wouldn't suggest it. Getting ready to move to frostmourne on bg9 myself.

Alliance everywhere from what I've seen as a whole...'suck'. But it's been way better for me on BG9 than it was on Emberstorm. On Nordrassil people would make pre-mades to lose so they could get a single mark faster. I usually play during the AM hours and up until about noon-ish. You are right though after kids get home from school it gets a little more retarded [can't wait for summer break ;( ]. Yesterday I was doing SotA for almost 3 hours and we must have lost *MAYBE* 4 games. Best thing about BG9 is that half of the servers in the nest are Oceanic which means the BG itself never sleeps. Emberstorm, unfortunately, consists of only US servers which results in a lot of night time 'down time' so to speak. I guess I get the best PvP experience while playing with the Aussies :)

EDIT: I cannot comment on Arenas since I just started acquiring PvP gear and would be no match for this BGs competition with my current gear. I also just dual-spec'd Arms again after being Protection for the last year and a half, so I have to get back into the rhythm of things.
