2x 40 boxing?

[Barman]

Just wondering if it would be possible to box 40 alliance toons and 40 horde toons. That way you could play AV by your own in the night (3 AM) when no queue is up. Or only join with 79 toons and waiting for some poor random guy to join to tell him that you are in charge and it is for you to decide which side will win AV.

Or maybe how many accounts does it take to fully populate a server by yourself?

How about just 15 v 15 boxing? And then you could do the other BG's.

Hiliarious! if you have the roughly $11000.00 USD to pay of all those accouts per year.

thats gonna cost you $1200 a month ^^

Possible? Yes.

Downright silly? Yup.

But I do think at some point Blizzard would get pissy about one single player "owning" an entire battleground. Especially with "win trading" being a hot topic right now.

What is "win trading"?

It would be exactly $12,470.40 for all 80 accounts per year using the 6 month pay schedule.

I don't condone it, but win-trading is still being done, it is very easy to mask. How often on the forums do you hear of people getting farmed by the same team and losing heaps of points and getting pissed off at arenas? You only have to do like 10 games a week and verse a different team each week, but 10 times each week, But instead of making it an eacy win/lose, make it look like the losing team is just a bit nooby with simple mistakes (go away to drink too long, blow cds on targets straight after cyclone, etc). You can make the 10 games look realistic and thus there will be doubt if it is win-trading. Then after you win your 10 games, just stop for the week. Don't be greedy and try to hit a huge rating in the first week and you won't get noticed.

As I said, I don't support it, but win-trading still happens a lot, it is a major flaw in the Arena design which Blizz still haven't found a way to combat against anyone who has a shred of intelligence.

PS: Although, I am of the opinion that PvP wins should be determined by skill, not by gear. I reckon all teams should only be allowed to wear a standard stock of gear. Arena teams always go on about skill, well, make it so that gear differences can never be an excuse!! That's how they run tournaments, why not make the rest of it the same? Or instead of a standard set, just make no rating requirements for the top-end pvp gear, but give titles/non-combat pets to those with the highest ratings instead as a reward.

You can't join Alterac Valley as a raid anymore, it only works with a party of maximum 5 characters.

addons beg to differ,
Full raids are still entering AV as we speak
