Tonights Activity: Being Camped

The Tarren Mill and Southshore areas of World of Warcraft are prone to a slight problem. They are contested areas where PvP is open between the Alliance and Horde on PvP servers and both towns are practically built right on top of each other. Couple this with the fact that a lot of servers are severely imbalanced in favor of the Alliance, and Tarren Mill becomes a death trap for Horde players.

Tonight, I chose to fly into Tarren Mill to get some PvP out of my system. I have been doing far too many Dire Maul, UBRS, LBRS, and other dungeon runs lately and gaining little to no items for my ultimate use. However, I have gained an unsettled patience for the dumbest of people. After all, one person going AFK in UBRS at the wrong time wastes three hours of everyone's time, not just the idiots.

Anyways, back to the activity at hand:

At first the fight was going well for the Horde. We were pushing the Alliance back and forth between the two towns. Kills were to be found everywhere, but as the night dwindled down our town of Tarren Mill fell victim to an Alliance campfest.

I write this as I sit dead, in the graveyard, unable to resurrect and zip back home to Ogrimmar or anywhere else for that matter. There is literally twenty stinky Alliance standing in the graveyard.

I do not wish to rant, but I remember why I was staying away from Tarren Mill in the first place. I like to actually play when I have the spare time, not sit around being farmed like some poor murloc.
