I feel for you. If you have some amount of skill and a few friends the contest isn't too hard to win within a few weeks but I would never wanna try it on a pvp server.

I completely understand how hard that must be to complete on a pvp server. It is terrible enough without having people gank you all day long.

On the other hand, you're on a pvp server. It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that horde are going to have a field day slaughtering a bunch of alliance dressed in funny hats wielding sticks.

I play on a pvp server and it took about 10 attempts to get this achievment. The time I won it I had 4 guidies running around harassing horde and guarding me. Now that the frustration of the event is over I consider it one of the most fun times I've had in the game. I nearly won it a couple of times on my own as well but was beaten by seconds. I still want to win the northrend one as well for that xp ring.

For clarification, it's not the pvp in and of itself that is an issue for me, but the faction imbalance on my server. I enjoy a good bit of world pvp, but on a server with such a large imbalance you end up spending way too much time fighting on corpse running to be a competitive fisherman.

We weekly organize an Alliance counter-raid to fight back, but with our fewer numbers and the overall size of STV our effectiveness is limited. It really only takes one or two corpse runs to effectively destroy your chances of winning.
