Battleground Weekend Discussion

[Nomfather]

So... I havent seen a propper discussion thread on battlegrounds and battleground weekends.
So here we go.

As some of you may have noticed its WSG this weekend,
Just going to attempt to get some input from everyone on what you do when it comes to battlegrounds.

I'll base my opinions on the leveling process only, i dont really need to farm honor too often at 80.
So far i only seem to run mixed mode when it's AV weekend, the xp is amazing as is the honor.
The levels fly past.
Other than that i just grind and more recently quest.

So my question to you..
What do YOU do when it comes to leveling.
Do you wait for AV weekend like myself to enter battlegrounds, or run as many BG's as you can?

AB Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?
AV Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?
EOTS Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?
IOC Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?
SoTA Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?
WSG Weekend - Do you Bot it for XP/Honor?

Same questions as above when it isnt a weekend, do you just stick to one battleground even if another is on its "weekend" ?

Hell, do you even bot in battlegrounds or stick to the grind/quest method only due to bugs/pvp quality of HB?

I wont add a poll, people often just click it and exit without giving their reason.

While leveling I grind until either AB or AV weekend then I do mixed mode, those are pretty much the only BG's I bot because I think they are the safest.
WSG is just too small a map and any botter can spot the bots on that map. IMO

I mostly do AV, most exp/honor potential, much larger player base, easier to blend in, and its usually so chaotic that nobody has time to notice anyone else doing much of anything. Hell most of the time players randomly fight in the middle of nowhere just to farm HKs so the bot fits right in.

I'm still hoping that some day the bot can attempt to cap/defend towers/bunkers/graveyards. Often things lay unguarded and are easy pickings, I've had a few times mostly in AB where i manually stop the bot, right click on a banner and start the bot again, leading to a win. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but it would be a leap forward in bot technology, and further decrease the chance of player reports.

Would be nice to see some Battleground logic in future yeah.

I only do mixed mode on AV weekends, due to the fact that it's the only time allies seem to win AV on my battlegroup, and winning XP >> losing XP. I don't really like botting in such small maps as WSG, because, as butane said, it's really easy to spot a bot in WSG if you have any sort of experience with bots. If it's not AV weekend, I just let it grind.

Also, first post on this forum, wohoo!
