		<description>Sounds like very good advice. We&#039;ll see how we go at actually pulling that off though :)</description>

		<description>Agree with Pugging Pally - your guild is poison! Time to leave imo. Your guild should be the reason you log into the game, even when the content is stale. Not vice versa.

I loved your poem :)</description>

		<description>If you&#039;re queuing with 4 other people, I&#039;ve found that the best thing to do is split up.  Have one group of 3 and one group of 2.  This is especially effective with a healer in each group, such as you two discipline priests.  With 5 people you&#039;re generally too large of a force in BG&#039;s to cover everything you need to.  Where you&#039;re at may be safe, but at the cost of defenders in other areas.  Try splitting up but remaining in contact.  Group those people that have good class or playstyle synergy together.  

I pvp as a resto druid with several people, but my favorite is a good DK friend I have.  Death grip does wonders for peeling horde off of a healer.  When our hunter friend gets involved, it&#039;s over.  The horde might as well just lay down and die upon our arrival.  We&#039;ve taken on groups of 7 and 8 horde at a time with just the three of us.  Good pvp gear is a good part of that, but synergy is almost everything.  A group of 2 or 3 tends to not immediately register as a major threat, and often 2 or 3 players working together as a mobile strike force can be just as effective as a group of 5 zerging around.  

That my experience, at least.</description>

		<description>PVP and I typically don&#039;t get along, but when I got high enough level I made a point of breaking up fights when a higher level Alliance person jumped some lower level Hordies.  Outland was great for that, especially when I was leveling mining and JC.

However, I do have to say that PVP with a friend or three is the way to go.</description>

		<description>Sounds like you had a fun night of killing and be killed at the battlegrounds. I wonder if this PVP will also relief frustration i feel about the current end game experience and how they prolong it long enough to get just about everyone burned out. 

Oh well there are i go again. I just keep thinking and rethinking this current problem I am in. Which isnt really a problem its more like an annoyance.

What the hell perhaps pvp&#039;ing will solve frustration, anxiety and depression at giving my all at PVE with a guild whose current motto is so negative it has made me doubt why i even joined back in Febuary. Maybe i should take the pugging pally advice as well and let it go. I will only get myself sick in the process.

Anyhow i am sidetracking again :( sorry.

I&#039;ll try your medicine : &quot;PVP a day keeps the doctors at bay&quot; 

And now for my last comment i wanted to share with you all a poem i wrote: (I hope you like):

To his silent world of screams,
Nor heaven or hell would let him dream,
Ghost would fester without rest,
As the angels knew he was a pest.

So he ran away in fear,
As hoping his conscience would clear,
Thinking it wasnt too late, 
To clean his dreadful fate.

Alas he had to stop,
Deceiving himself at the spot,
There was no rescue from this place,
Considering his options as he pace..

So he meditated deep in thought, 
That he did not notice what the wind had brought,
A gesture that told him to stand,
Because the stranger would lend him a hand. 

A contract that he should look,
For just a second that&#039;s all it took,
A simple trade an easy solution,
His soul for his absolution.</description>
