Ok. I really am a noob. Also, I don't have any friends who play wow so I have been on my own so to speak. I read this forum and other sites and I try to watch and take advice when given.
I have been working my way up and found I liked doing PVP. Meaning I am a masochist. I found out very very quickly that I was cannon fodder at best in PVP. Having no PVP gear and not knowing how to get it for the longest time. I would routinely get my behind handed too me on a very regular basis.
I learned that to get PVP gear that you have to do PVP quest and areas and stuff. Ohh... that was butt kicking on steroids. It was like the charge of the light brigade for me.... through the valley of death rode the panda. And die I did. Yet I have earned a few honor points now.
In the world sometimes I have just been smited. I understand completely. Hey, my goal is to one day do some smiting of my own. It is the circle of smite out there.
I wish my guild would have helped me with group tactics... I asked but no takers. Some people take those dungeon runs seriously enough that my lack of any tactics, knowledge, or general helpfulness in the endeavor got me a one way ticket on the boot express. I totally got it. I was sucking out there. However, the Orc from the Burning Crusade dungeon -- you didn't have to bring my mother into it. I got better, but I still stink. I read a lot on tactics. I now know what a tank is and I now know that I am not one... also -- charging headlong into whatever beast or beasts just happen to be around... frowned upon.
Finally got all the way to Outland. Then I ran into my greatest mistake of all. Turns out, you will eventually need money. If you have horribly neglected to really work on any profession at all... this will make your life suck. So, I go back to all those lower levels and and mine and smelt and make rings that are so horrible that no one but the NPC's that have no choice will buy them.
I do this late at night because, there is no need to take all the minerals away from those players who were not dumb like yours truly and are working their profession as they level.
It is not so bad... I only occasionally get smited in these areas and really... I kind of deserve it.
PVP - Is not about me killing anyone. However, I do grade those that kill me. You have some really classy killers out there. I mean really, no lie... they go the extra mile to make it a special experience. So, when someone takes me out - I give them some smack like... You call that a kill? Really? I have been taken out by far better than you... lady Gnome!
Tonight -- doing my profession penance still... and mining up some copper to make some more pathetic promise rings.. I fly into a copper vien and miss the ledge and "plunk" right into the water. I come out and there is a dude and his pet and he is coming in to attack me. I figure there is no time to bribe him with a +1 to spirit ring and I prepare to have to hump my rump back to this mountain from some graveyard. He shoots and I don't die! I don't die.
I get so nervous I stood there for what seemed like several seconds. Rotation... Rotation... heck my rotation has been hit the battle shout.. die... repeat. I engage the fellow and he folds and quickly I might add.
I WON!!!!! My first real one on one PVP showdown. It is not me humping over the alps to get back to the area of my death this time.. NOOO... Daddy is off to selll some rings baby!!
I am sure that I shall return to the smite train. However, I am spurred on by my first victory. I am excited.
