What the hell? Now i've been on this Server for 3 days, mainly did PvP and some heroics but .. man.

The first thing that got in my eye was, and I'm not even joking, that 80% of all people are donors. They run around with ~151 HK's and a 1500 Arena Rating. Wut? I know they "keep the server alive" but, come on! 70% of this server population is Arms-Warriors with Apylon and Rdruids with full S4. It's fun as a Shadowpriest in BG's, because in every BG, yes in every BG, there are at least 3 full S4 Aplyon Warriors with their full S4 druid buddies farming people. It's not even fun as a non-donor. I mean, the server is pretty cool, but this whole "playing arena for gear? lawl no" thing sucks.

It's actually like Retail now, because i have to pay to compete with others.

I played skirmish a bit a few hours ago. Guess what? Full S4 Warrios and S4 Druids. Great. I guess up from 1300 it's full with S4 donors.

I know you guys will tell me something like "Are you not good enough to get the gear by yourself?" - I'm not that bad, but starting with s2 to 2k against always the same combs (Warrios/Rdruid - Warrior/Hpala) with max gear, is for someone that isn't fucking awesome nearly impossible. If there wouldn't be that much S4 geared people out there, it would be no problem to get to 1,8k or higher, but that's just insane on here.

Did someone on here even got his gear without donating?

Some people got it without donating. But the thing about this server is that donating is so cheap anyways 5$ is what i'm eating atm (A bag of chips and a soda). And since that's alot less then the most server takes for donations you shouldn't be suprised that it has over 70% of the population s4 geared.

I've had a couple of glad titles without donating. Also the apolyon part annoys me -.- since s4 sword > apolyon... find a better reason to cry.

Your crying about Warrior / Druid comps while your playing Shadow Priest...
Shadow Priest / Rogue counters Warr / Druid.

And S4 Sword > Apolyon.

80% donors, what? It just seems like there are a lot because most donors have at least 5-6 alts that are donated on.

I do agree that 2k for brutal is retarded with s3 now available for honor again. It should be retail arena req for s4 with weps at 1850 and shoulders at 2k, because otherwise it's essentially making it harder than retail for the average player to compete with the better geared teams.

But yeah, most donors here are below average anyway (inb4 lol you're shit).

[Edit] Oh, and if you're losing to warrior paladin as SpR you're really doingitwrong...

good pala war vs sp/r is 50/50 :D just saying... even tho there are no good pala/wars here
also retail s4 req are 2000 weap 2200 shoulders and the server isnt trying to be blizzlike... after all ppl need to keep on donating they shouldn't make it any easier
