I think I installed Spy, or something very much like it, but found it a bit spammy – purely in the list of nearby targets.

That was a while ago, so I will give it another go…

As much as I bang on about never giving up… I will be posting an example, over the span of two games, of the different effect of attitude over two consecutive games.

As for their attitude, maybe the next post explains it a little – that and Pugnacious Priests which I link to, Some people don’t need, or want to win the BG… that isn’t their objective.

OH — i will also add that there’s an option in the “Spy” addon (apparently) to broadcast a text AND audio alert to everyone in your raid. i found it helpful to know when a stealthed person entered the area, but i had to turn off the broadcasting option because everyone else said it was annoying. : (

just thought i’d mention it if anyone tries it. it doesn’t affect the alerts for you, so it’s still helpful in that respect, but be warned that your team may not appreciate the info.

“Healers Have to Die” and “Spy” (for detecting invisible & stealthed people) were the two greatest PvP addon recommendations i’ve ever gotten, and i am pretty sure i got both of them from here. SOOOOooooo worth it!

I had that comment this morning in WSG to which I responded ‘You can still win without healers, I’ve done a lot in the past’, the players response was ‘we’ll look at the scoreboard’ – we were losing 1 to 0. My response was ‘No that is because they are actually playing together’ – which they were. They were playing the all together munch anything in your path tactic… which our flag carrier ran straight into and got dehumed and then they quickly capped.

Now about 20 seconds later we were down 2 to 0 because I wasn’t being supported at all with the flag. But I agree the sentiment is terrible. Actually – now I remember – we had 1 healer in that WSG – and the DK was willing to give up (note the 1 healer was the stand in the middle by myself and find myself dead type… so it wasn’t much of a boon anyway)

But had a frustrating time in the last few WSGs I’ve done… I still don’t understand the sentiment of the middle of WSG fighters… I was almost excited when we started up one and it seemed like everyone was heading towards the enemy tunnel. I thought finally we have some people with a clue – only to see them veer off at the last moment and engage in futile middle melee – they weren’t even taking down the enemy flag carriers. Will be glad when school starts again and I can get a better percentage of US players in the morning that seem to have more of a clue!

Rant over!

I’ve been looking for something that automatically sets the role for healers
(Healers Have to Die)

Thanks. Great Post
