I haven't seen a Dalaran premade in awhile, but I haven't ran AV much for the past week. I'm sure they are still out there, crushing the horde and turning them into emos. Evil Dalaranians!

I do know how long I haven't played though, and that's over a month. I played the game a little after release and a little before the NGE/CU/etc, which is the only reason I made a Trader, to be uber Weaponsmith man (which is no longer possible, yay!). Anyways, I didn't resub because I gave away my old account. I started with a trial leveling a Commando, made a Trader, couldn't place extractors (due to trial account), and figured, what the hell, and bought a month. Promptly canceling my subscription immediately afterwards due to always forgetting to do that and getting charged an extra month. But yeah, I'd say maybe 3 weeks playing, Xfire has clocked me at doing 20 hours in the past week and 84 total (84 is solely from this excursion into the SWG world). So, 84 hours of play time, level 71 and 31. The trader is easy to level, it's just a macro grind (a.k.a click 4 times, wait, click 4 times, wait, repeat, ding, repeat, ding), you just need resources which, can be hard to acquire at low level. Some uber crafter of old gave me some of the best extractors to use, so, that definitely helped :p Some dude on my server actually sells trader grind packs for 10 million credits, using the macros he provides you can reach 90 in 4 hours. I've seen some people say they did it in 2, ridonkulous. Come play SWG with me! Well you see, I smoke a lot of pot, so, I really don’t know how long I’ve been playing.

Or did you have them before you resubbed or is this your first time playing SWG? If you like instances pick up TBC. :p Wait, you leveled a 71 Trader and a 31 Jedi in 2 weeks?

I'm pouring over your blog right now, and I'm seeing all this awesome content I missed and need to catch up on. :) The level 70 bracket is a disaster, I would avoid it unless you really want to farm honor for an item. The problem is essential greed, so players will min/max the system to acquire as much honor as they can in the fastest shortest amount of time possible. Supposedly, Blizzard is going to match premades versus premades in 2.4. But, a lot of the time when I go up against another premade in AB and EOTS the other premade leaves the game. If they stay, it actually turns out to be a close and well fought out game. Tara!

I've mostly be running AV with a Horde Shaman in the 51-60 bracket on Mug'Thol and loving it - but I'm up to 63 now on that alt so she's not PvP viable yet. We dominated in that bracket. We rocked, I was awesome, it was great. This weekend I played a 70 Horde Mage from Llane and it was horrific. Loss after loss after loss. The only thing that was good was no queue times. Less than 30 seconds to the next defeat. Just like you said, they'd rush south and it was all over before we knew what hit us. What happened to this bracket? There was at least some amount of midfield fighting in the 50s bracket. This was just silly. Funny, I was thinking of writing a AV post yesterday but didn’t get around to it.

So, right now I've got a 71 Trader and a 31 Jedi. Pretty cool huh? lols I can grind mindlessly only so long, and with WoW I can grind pvp mindlessly too. So once I've grinded mindlessly enough (whether it be pve or pvp) I get tired and quit teh game. Plus their expansion model is gay, I dont own TBC, don't want to get 70 just to have to get 80. Eff that imho. Oh hells no, I stopped playing for Savage 2, which I stopped playing for SWG. So, right now I’ve got a 71 Trader and a 31 Jedi. Pretty cool huh? lols
