WoW: Productive and not

Sometimes I fail to hold myself to my 'WoW is not FFXI work' rule. Deciding that I wanted my third purple 60 piece, I pushed myself in PvP today. 10 hours of it, with only a half-hour break to run out and get food. *is dead* x.x Happily, I got the honor points I needed! ...annoyingly, I discovered that half the set needs AV marks of honor instead of AB. ~.~ Luckily there's still one piece left that needs AB marks, so I can work on that... just not get it today, no matter how hard I pushed myself.

AB marks:
Chest -- 13,770 honor points needed

AV:
Head: 13,005 HP
Hands: 8,415 HP

Have: Shoulders and boots (8,415 HP each/AB marks)

Anyway, I learned something new about AB today, something I had suspected but never really paid attention to: Horde wins it a hell of a lot more than Alliance does. I figured it out because this morning we lost again and again and again and it pissed me off endlessly. Some were "fair" losses, but too many were "4 horde vs 15 alliance" where we were so badly overpowered that they just stand around in the GY and killed us as we rezzed. That was the first time I've really, really been pissed at PvPing (not counting my often-anger at idiots obsessed with capturing the one stupid base).

After that period of losses, we won the rest of the day through. Not even generally close wins, easy ones. About eight hours of nothing but wins, each match taking 15-20 minutes. It's a wonder the Alliance keep trying, I don't know if I would with endless losses like that.

Hit rogue 49 today. Did my usual skilling to get weapons and defense capped. Skilled unhanded to cap because I'm tired of people doing skills that remove my weapons and therefore making me toothless.

Two more levels until wolf. zzzz Once I get it (and the rest of my 60 pieces) I might take a break. I want to try engineering and mining (I've done neither before). Or maybe go to 60 so I can wear the pieces I've been getting...

No RP tonight, blah. Didn't feel like searching out random RP, usual RP people tied up elsewhere.
