I've Always Wondered...

oh lord. old school AVs.

there was nothing like it. back in the days, I figured out there were Rich Thorium node spawning for each side every 30mins. I was in the AV for 2 days without sleeping. Got my 1st arcanite reaper from AV. Then 2 days later, my friend (who were 3+ days without sleeping) got the stupid knock down hammer (unstoppable force).

and who said we were fighting in AV, we were all LOOTING, remember ? 1 guy went down. 10 guys jumped up to loot.
good times.

Also on the raid boss in AV, I remember druid can kite him to the capitain. and he drops loot too. so we were fighting over the loot in AV. classic.

people complain that wow pvp sucks. but that's due to 5 years of playing it. No other pvp in any other game provided me with the old school AV experience.

those were the days when you had 40x2 people waiting in the AV tunnels in Alterac Mountains to enter the AV game, and the massive Southshore-Tarren Mill fights in between.

It wasn't all great, but there was alot of fun, that's for sure.

10 hours 10 mins that game was i hear they been on for days before

And the diffent groups... you needed to invite people manually into a raid.
If some jerks didnt know you, you had to form a new group or just play alone lol.
Thank god they fixed that at least.
My longest game i can remember was around 12 hours...

And if you left before the end (or joined in the nick of time :- ) you missed all the extra honor for killing the bosses

man shamans would have rocked back then... back when chain lightning jumps didnt lose damage and hit 4 targets lol.

Would have been way overpowered.

EDIT: And ret pallies were unheard of because they were terrible!

Unstoppable force + windfury proc = dead opponent. That shit was crazy.

yeah i farmed reputation with AV for like 5 days straight to get that bad boy. Only thing better was Ragnaros...

so summoning the icelord and druids and whatnot, i know the blood and scraps still drop, do you guys think the games last long enough to summon them?
Also do the mats dissappear after you zone out of AV, so you have to start back over when entering another one?

they used to disappear (i guess they still do ) To avoid people stacking them and then summoning the bosses right at the start of a new game
