I've previously mentioned my penchant for getting achievements in WoW, and as you can see by the little indicator bars on my achievement screen I have over 75% completion in all areas...except one. Player vs. Player (hence forth to be known as PvP). This category makes me cry and it shows in my abysmal numbers; 32% completed.
I just don't PvP well. I usually die 20+ times in any given battleground...even when I'm in full PvP gear with a good PvP spec. Yet, I still torture myself every once and a while and throw my poor shaman into them. But arena? Don't even get me started:
Arenas are where you form a team with either 2, 3 or 5 players and then proceed to beat the shit out of other teams of 2, 3, or 5 players. I have one, just one, achievement in arena. I was delusional enough over two years ago to create two teams (2v2 called Sadistic Ponies and 3v3 called Not Illegal In Denmark) and then actually go into arenas with a couple of brave souls...and we won one of those arenas, for which I got an achievement. I haven't been back since then. Why? Because it took 50+ arena matches to win that one. Now you know why I cry.
Unfortunately this is the area where I will next need to concentrate my efforts if I am to maintain my achievement desires. I wonder if drug addicts feel this way, willing to substitute their drug of choice with something they know isn't good for them just so they can satisfy their habit.
