		<description><![CDATA[I am overall satisfied with how Season 7 went for my RMP. We hit 80 roughly a week before the season started and geared our characters from all blues/greens to almost full relentless. I am happy to say that none of us bought rating to get weapons or any other gear, all of our progress was due to hard work and learning our comp. Although I had originally expected to end the season with a higher rating, I am fine with where we did end due to some bad losses to counter-comps where we would lose ridiculous amounts of points while hard wins would net us only a few.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Prot Warriors have been the topic as of late. You may have noticed a Prot Warrior team reaching 3000 rating and maybe the Prot Warrior team that played at MLG Orlando this past weekend. It is undeniable if you have played against them that Prot Warriors are a serious threat in PvP. With the current state, Blizzard has announced that they will be nerfing Prot Warrior PvP. Here are my views on the topic.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I had a long post written for this past weekend. It was the culmination of my frustrations over not being able to hit 1800 to get relentless weapons. For my gear, I was losing a lot of spell power by gemming for the resilience that I need to stay competitive in arenas. I have also been wearing a WG trinket instead of my battlemaster's because of the resilience. There was no other solution to getting that SP back other than getting the relentless weapons.

I ended up scrapping the whole post because we were able to hit 1800 on our 3v3 team on Saturday. I had a blast playing and it felt good to be able to accomplish a big task without being carried. We have worked hard for the rating and deserve it.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We've all made the decision. Whether it was on a whim or a well thought out process, we have all chosen a faction in World of Warcraft. Everyone has different reasons as to why they chose to fight for the Horde or the Alliance. For me, my first character was Alliance because all of my college buddies were going Alliance at the time. They did go Alliance when we got the game, but ended up being on a different server (a story for a different time). I actually played through vanilla and some of BC before I leveled a Horde character. For me, there wasn't really a decision when I first started playing. Since my friends were playing Alliance and I wanted to play with them, it was an easy decision.

As I played more and more and began to learn about the game, I sometimes regretted the decision of rolling Alliance. This was well before the days of faction changes and even transfers, so the only other option was to level another character. That was something that I was not willing to do. Cut to today and faction changes are relatively cheap (or expensive however you feel) and they are easy. This really negates a lot of old arguments as to which faction is better. If you think Blizzard favors a certain faction or if you feel that certain racials are more powerful or even if you just like the look and feel of the other faction, it is painless enough to obtain without needing to level to 80 again.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was grinding some honor this weekend so I can switch out my trinkets with a Medallion of the Horde and a Battlemaster's trinket. The PvP daily for Sunday was Alterac Valley. I tried multiple times during the day to complete the daily, but every AV that I was in turned into a turtle with Alliance winning. I gave up after multiple games and tried playing some WSG and AB to get the marks that I need for turn-ins. We lost so horribly in both, that I gave up all together. The honor grind is bad enough without the current problems with BGs. This made me think about the current state of battlegrounds and how they can be improved.

I guess it isn't really a matter of winning or losing. Sure, winning games technically makes your honor grind 1/3 of what it would be if you lost every game. I wasn't in a preform, so I wasn't going in *expecting* to win every game. The problem was that I had to wait 12 minutes for a que to pop and then we not only lost, but we dragged the loss out. The last WSG that I tried, the alliance had a Resto Druid, Holy Paladin, Disc Priest, and a geared Prot Warrior. This would take a decent group of people to kill them, let alone a team of random scrubs. After a ton of turtling and losing the game because time ran out, it really got me thinking about the current state of battlegrounds and where it could go in the future.]]></description>
