When the "decimate in 10 seconds" message pops up, switch to command. That way the loss in dps in negligible.
Which is exactly what I do, but we'd been in there for 4 hours at that point and brain was dumbed.
It's more of a hate on the raid leader and his mage sidekick that seem insistent on telling everybody what to do all the time.
For example on Thaddius we had exactly 1 ranged DPS (the afore-mentioned mage) and he insisted that everybody without the tank charge stand at max range, on the other side of the tank. We wiped to the enrage timer 3 times with no deaths because the melee spent 90% of the time doing nothing.
Though actually, it's probably not his fault but the mouthbreathers who can't manage to figure out to not stand in shit, no matter how many times we've done a fight. One of our paladins has died on the first dance on Heigann every single time we've done it.

Do ready checks every 25 seconds just to see if they're afk. Chances are they went to make dinner and didn't tell you.

Thaddius has a motherfucking huge hitbox. I'd be surprised if the tank couldn't stand in the middle and still not be hit by people on either side if they were sufficiently far enough away.

We wiped 3 times on Thaddius and killed him the 4th time a couple nights ago. Every single time, this one priest died, without fail, on the very first charge. You'd think the odds are they'd at least have a 50/50 chance to be standing on the right side, but nope, died to the very first one each and every attempt. After the third one they said in raid chat, "i dont know what im doing wrong". And I'm thinking, "You're 0-3 at distinguishing left from right."
So, after the kill, and officers are telling people not to group up or loot the boss yet, I rez 'em. They accept. They die again. I get whispers from one of the officers along the lines of, "That was mean...yet funny. " At least I'm pretty sure that counts as a PvP kill as far as dura loss is calculated, so no lasting harm done.
Huh?: My damage output varies wildly on Recount. I did 4200 DPS on Rasuvious and Noth, and then top out at 2900 on Patchwerk where I thought I pretty much did everything perfectly and even just managed to squeeze in 2 sets of wings. I'm baffled.
Just a thought: on Noth, there's a bunch of skeleton adds that may up your DPS with Divine Storm and Consecration and Holy Wrath. On Razuvious, if the MCers drop their adds before the boss dies, they'll have a debuff that increases their damage taken by a billion million percent. IE: our ret paladin did a 300,000 damage judgement of blood crit on one. It skewed the meters slightly.

Deathknight rolled on the Warrior T7.5 chest and won. I was #2 on the roll. I am not so much pissed off as I am so incredibly bummed. In his defense, all he saw was dps plate armor and ZOMG I NEED.

He should put in a GM ticket. They usually transfer items in those cases.
Happy: Got to hit up the 25 man raid with my guild today. Won my tier 7.5 gloves of Sath so that was a huge upgrade.
Hate:Not a single drop afterwards was even half loot worthy for me. Damn rogue gear.
FFFFFFF: So the other warlock in the raid out gears me by leaps and bounds since she has been raiding since day one basically. I out dpsed her on almost every fight except Sath himself. Which I was basically tied with her. And on some of the fights it wasn't by a little bit but by 30k damage type thing. *sigh*

Happiness: Solo'd the final guy in the Oracles/Frenzyheart chain at level 79, with a level 76 gorilla pet I tamed exclusively to try it. Good lord can apes hold aggro!
Hope: 6 days to Revered Oracles, 7 days to hatch an egg - maybe I'll have a 90s epic flyer in 2 weeks?
FFFFFFFFF: Got called into work to cover a shift until 0700 after already working a full 40 hours. I HAVE TO MAKE THE DEATH KNIGHTS LOVE ME GODDAMNIT!
FFFFFf: My guild is most likely disbanding since the GM, my friend, is leaving. He asked me if I'd take over, but that's not really my kind of thing, and there's no one else in the guild he trusts to do it. I've been in this guild for 3 years, with a couple breaks thrown in here and there. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised though, our numbers have been dwindling slowly the last few months.
I guess it's better to just /gdisband and get it over with than drag it out a couple more months? Right?
Hope: I can find a casual guild looking for a fury warrior and not have to spec back to prot. Anyone from ED here who could use some more melee dps?

We also did OS25 (no drakes). I ate a few lava walls but didn't get killed until an add swarm near the end.
We've found that, once you're able to do the achievement, it becomes easier to just kill the followers, offtank all the worshippers, and not bother mind controlling them.

I solo'd him on my warlock when he died and I completed the quest I dinged to 80! some people in the area questioned why I choose there to level to 80

Same.
FFFFFFFF: My stupid internet. It comes on all nice-like, being friendly and sending megahurtz to and fro with ease. However, there seems to be no amount of information exchange beyond, say, one person playing wow that doesn't send ping times into quadruple digits. Admittedly, we do a lot of file transfers since we have an ftp server and torrent some shit, but that's capped at like...20k/second. It shouldn't be like this!
Whatever, just another reason for me to live alone.
Hate: Being jumped and killed on my 66 DK by a 70 Feral Druid who then yelled lol.
Happy: Got revenge. 6 times. Including twice when he tried to fly away only to be Death Gripped down, dotted up and flew away again only to fall dead out of the sky.
As long as AV is a pve raid with some incidental pvp, AV will be dead.
Except, the AV honorfarm was alive and well throughout burning crusade.
The issue is that they seem to have increased honor gains from other BGs relative to AV, and of course that AV marks are off the quest turn in. Between that and the fact that it requires 40 people on both sides to be queued at the same time to have a reasonable game (instead of 10 or 15), AV is looking very old and busted.
They should just replace the AV marks for the mounts with strand marks or something.

I think they gave up on ever trying to balance AV. Honestly, it was more fun when they were long because at least then it felt somewhat of an epic battle. Wintergrasp doesn't seem like much of an improvement.

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but 8 hour AV weren't fun at all. The only reason to even attempt to slog through them was for the tokens that actually gave good weapons at the time.
Yeah put me in the group that fucking hated the multiday AV's. I never saw one finish, I much preffered the Honor fest that it became, I didn't care that it wasn't as epic as it used to be, at least it was quick honor and tokens.
I really wish they'd just redo the entire PVP system, it pretty much sucks, and stop putting so much fucking focus on Arena's. Arena's are not fun, they simply showcase the flavor of the month duos, and trios, and if you're not one of those classes, then fuck off thinking about getting your rank anywhere.
And to those that say "you don't have to be the best to get items", that's true, but waiting 8 weeks to get the shittiest arena item isn't exactly fun.

I at least a half dozen people in Borean (where I was at the time) were all "THIS SUCKS THE GAME IS ALWAYS DOWN I'M CANCELLING."

Is this an entry for a Turing test?
I ask because I have a couple more pvp mounts I need to get, and the few AVs I've done in the last week have been terrible.

Now that AV is off "For Great Honor", it won't be making any comebacks.

Losing a perfect Undying clear with someone standing in a fissure at 1% on KT.
the horde guild who is above us on progression lost a perfect immortal clear to a frost blast that four people were in range to heal.
