I know I’m waaaay behind the times, but the monster is Tethyr. He’s a new lvl 30 or so quest that starts at the Theramore lighthouse – you get to shoot him with cannons!
First saw him when I had to jump off the boat into the harbour (due to lag issues the boats always seem to be leaving just as I can move *rolls eyes*), and found myself swimming with a HUGE mean lookin’ elite mob!! Got outta there PDQ!

Great breakdown!

Yes, you can complain about constantly losing BG’s because of your faction, because of your gear, because the otherside is a premade.

Or, you can DO something about it.

No group or specific person moderates it.

I imagine someone from the core group who created the channel would end up as mod most of the time just because of the way those custom channels work.

Malva: Is there like a specific person or group that moderates the channel?

Yes, it’s a pvp only LFG channel. It goes like:

[Priesty]: Healer LF AB Premade. Only 75 resil but can follow instructions. PST
[Premade leader 2]: EotS/AB premade looking for 1 DPS caster. PST with resil and hps.
[Noobsauce]: Ret pally LF AB premade. 250 resil. PST
[Non picky premade leader]: LF 2 more for AB premade.

You get yelled and kicked if you post anything that is not lfg pvp something-or-other.

Malva: A dedicated channel strictly for PvP? That’s not a bad idea…

I’m also in your battlegroup. Grats on beating a Tich premade. I have no problem facing them, usually they make quick work of us so the pain is short lived.

I also do premades. I started pvpÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ing the fall before BC came out. Everyone in the guild was busy waiting for the expansion and not much was happening to our progression pve wise. So we started pvpÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ing a lot as a guild. And became pretty good at it. It also made us better pveÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ers. Pvp has really made me a better healer.

On Proudmoore alliance, we have a chat channel that is used to advertise premades and other pvp ventures. ItÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s a step up from the trade channel premades. Lol PM alliance premades are mostly server pugs, used as a way to ensure you have no afkÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ers (afkÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ers make me so mad when I pug, especially when you get the same afk player from a different server in what seems to be every game!). Sometimes you get bad premades, sometimes you get great ones. When I get a good leader, I add them to my friends list.

Pike, Jess: I had no idea the two of you were in Bloodlust battlegroup with me. Hopefully I’ll run into both of you one day while I’m on my Shaman Saphfira.

And yes, I do have a serious blog habit. I suppose I should kick it since school has started.

Tichondrius preform you say? I’ve seen them…they were the bane of my priestly existance when I was going for the vindicator’s mooncloth cuffs and pendant of salvation! Great job! And I’m guessing we share a battlegroup as well as a blog habit…lol
