Sounds to me like your premade was full of scrubs. No arena rating prmades??? Being on vent doesn’t make you a premade. It makes you think you should win bc you can coomunicate… But if you are scrubs and can’t win 1v1s you will failboat your way around the globe. If you had the comunication of 7-9 people… Those two killers shouldn’t have “ruined” your strat. Killers in ab don’t make you lose. Your premade should have been able to easily defnd bs lm and st. My guess is… Most of you would get capped on by a solo attacker even with 2 of you defending. The fact you even send a grp to gm already tells me you don’t know how to run premades. Pve scrubs should stay out of BG queues. It’s not for you. Pvp takes practice as a team.. It takes skill to be able to react properly in diff situations. What it does not take is crying about how the only two real pvpers in the bg weren’t carrying your failboat premade. Pvper know where the honor is. If we smell failboat… We do w/e it takes to get the honor. Winning is better and faster honor, but in the case of a failboat like yours probably was, I would have jumped ship too… In fact the second I saw the “gm” and the “have fun” in your bg macro…

Try giving advice when you are from an RP server. It doesn’t matter how sound your advice is, the entire chat is full of “SHUT UP AND CYBER RP NOOB” for awhile I felt like people from pvp servers were the absolute worst at BGs, for the reasons you cite above: so many were always off doing their own thing. Of course I’m just stereotyping them too

I always figure following a bad plan is better than no plan, so if someone is taking leadership i’ll go along. I stopped trying to lead about a year ago. Gevlon’s post is pretty spot on. I didn’t think of it that way but yeah, it doesn’t matter what blizzard’s incentives are, it’s more like prisoner’s dilemma, will your own team betray you (go for kills) or cooperate (go for win).

@Zach – The changes will be interesting, but I think it will still punish the support crew – Knowing you get more honor for a cap means more intense competition for capping, then they will move onto the next node potentially Ab could turn into a zerg cap fest on both sides.

Blizzard’s trying to change this in 3.2, so that objectives yield more honor (and experience) so as to encourage doing what you’re supposed to and not just killing randomly.
