Another lost level 60

[Darian]

I recently went back to my level 60 Priest for a BRD run.  Went 3 hours, and only because I was the one who quit.  Who knows how long it would have gone?

It probably shouldn't have gone three hours in the first place, honestly. The key to end-game instancing (not MC, that's a different beast altogether) is to target your objectives. I've gone into BRD with the stated objective of hitting Angerforge, Arglemach, and the Emperor, and got it done in less than two hours. You can knife in and take care of two or three quests in one run in every "standard" instance in 2-3 hours (yes, even if you're after the fourth deed in Scholomance). It's when you try and do too much in one run that you get bogged down in the infamous 10-hour Scholomance runs...

Yet, if all Battlegrounds are geared for 40-person action, that will also fail for reasons Raelynn described.  Uber guilds that have months of 40-person play on their belts will destroy pickup or less experienced groups.

They need a 5-player Battleground.  Your new goal would be to dominate at it, and get higher PvP ranks.  If the PvP gear is equivalently awesome to raid or super-long instance gear, it gives those with less time to have a chance, albeit a small one...
