28,000 HKs, huh? Impressive. I have 79,600 on my Paladin (Mercader,
Quel'dorei). I healed BGs back in TBC, and despite what you might
believe, I know that my healing did in fact win nodes/BGs.

I guess a lot of people feel like you, however, considering that I can
count on one hand, in all that time it took me to accumulate 79,600
HKs, the number of times I was protected. No, instead I would heal my
ass off at a node or wherever, and we would then win the battle. Then
I'd sit and drink, while everyone else rode off, just to get
slaughtered by some stealthed Rogues. While waiting to rez, natch, I'd
read the BG chat spam about how we lost The Farm, and that Horde sucks
balls because we never have any healers.

I've often considered returning to PvP, which I quit back in TBC, to
grind out another 20,000 HKs to get my "of the Horde" title, but if
the attitude of DPS is still that they don't care about their healers,
I guess I'll likely not bother.
