I've been playing my rogue on Emerald Dream (RP-PvP) and have gotten her up to level 70 without actually doing any PvP. Well, I mean except for getting ganked while leveling, or killed in embarrassingly short order by players only a couple of levels above me.
It took me getting three-shotted by a hunter only two levels higher, two days dithering in Dalaran and watching YouTube videos of my chosen BG, pep talks from three guildies, my sister on Skype, a guildie queuing with me for it on an alt, and half a Xanax, but I finally did a battleground. Alterac Valley -- chosen because it's a gigantic 40v40 clusterfuck where I wouldn't feel like I was taking up a spot a good player could have had.
I assumed I would die a lot. Actually, I assumed I would spend the majority of the BG dead. BUT NO. I mean I did die a lot, but not nearly as much as I expected. And, unless I got credit for my partner's kills, I actually had 3 killing blows. I got credit for 8 honorable kills, anyway. But -- and I know this is pretty meaningless for a lot of reasons but it still makes me feel better -- according to Recount I was 11 out of 38 on the damage meter (I don't know how to read the BG board yet but I showed up in around the middle or a little higher? Idek).
Also, my side won. :)
