Just...I'd have to second the ganking VoA idea. Just go in when the Horde has successfully assaulted the keep so that the wall will be down. My pally arena partner and I (as a DK) locked down VoA for about an hour. We would fight until the odds got 8-1 or worse, then portal out, and immediately fly back in from Dal before the horde could regroup.<br /><br />Surprisingly, no counter raids got formed, and instead the horde just slowly gave up. Zero VoA raids happened that period, despite what looked like a 2-3 raids trying to form. For maximum carnage, exploit the stone yourself, by having people about to die portal out to Dal, then summon them back instantly.JustinAndrewJohnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01770692331668384652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-25941577204209183642010-05-25T16:59:20.241+02:002010-05-25T16:59:20.241+02:00"I only wish that GDKP addons could handle re..."I only wish that GDKP addons could handle replacements. The current addons assume pot distributed evenly among players present at the end. It's good motivating PuGgers to stay. But in the guild we make replacements as someone has to leave, or someone who wants loot from that boss comes in."<br /><br />If you are using GoldRaidManager, the most common GDKP addon I think, and the one I use, you can change the number of looters from 25 to any other number I think, 26 or 28 or 20, depending on how many ways you want to split the pot.<br /><br />However, this does kindof go against one of the reasons I use GDKP. Distributing the entire pot at the end only to people who are in raid encourages people to stay and not leave. Having a 150k pot helps when you need a 24th person to down BQL or Putricide, and you have 9 bosses dead already. And if people don't get paid unless they stay till the end, "disconnects" and "sorry I have to go" after they get loot becomes more uncommon.<br /><br />Even when really good friends have to leave 20 minutes before the end oft the raid because their kid is sick, real goblins will not make an exception. Rules apply to everyone.Bruskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02952593511607312443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-83644858545899566932010-05-25T16:56:10.050+02:002010-05-25T16:56:10.050+02:00Haha, Harakan.

The Horde like to use Org almost exclusively, get a group and control that section of town. They won't be PvP flagged, but killing their AH/Bankers is enough to make them try to get rid of you (hence becoming PvP flagged). We did this with 6 of us to Stormwind, and spent nearly 2 hours there with only 2 deaths during that time (someone LoS'ing healers). Might not be as easy since there are so many more Horde on that server, and they Horde tend to be much more dedicated to keeping Alliance out of their cities. It helps to bring a tank as well, to keep all the guards under control.ProZacnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1461700565722278823.post-80197871890496284132010-05-25T15:21:11.370+02:002010-05-25T15:21:11.370+02:00Gevlon,
