As for the win/loss ration, I think that once you have a fair sample, the numbers will be pretty close for most BGs… as they say, you win some, you lose some.

I get a little shirty when I hear people saying “Alliance always lose” (and I have heard it from the other side as well). Usually there is someone in the BG with you that will clearly say they have won the last 6 in a row.

Some nights, some BGs, you just have to leave and lick your wounds… if it feels like you are always losing, then it’s a good time to take a break, maybe pick another BG to mess about in.

Of course it’s always easier when you are with mates… for a couple of months we normally had close to 5 if not 10 of us queuing at once.. I think the most was 14.

We laughed, we drank, we stirred each other up.. only time it was ever silent was when we hit RBGs… then everyone would go into raid mode and wait for direction from a leader… whereas in the normals, we all lead, we all directed, we all laughed.

We still lost some… usually we were just being too silly, other times PuGs just overwhelmed us (gear etc wasn’t a consideration in choosing people, just fun).

I’ve found since doing this, that I have lack enthusiasm for the little ones… I remember turning up at the new Darkmoon Faire.. a BG popped, I took it and never went back to the Faire.

And I must say – your win/loss ratio is impressive! I finally found that you can see the statics tab on the armory and I was looking through mine just yesterday. I was surprised to see how close to 50% win/loss ratio I actually have – it doesn’t feel that close.

AV I do well … battle for gilneas – generally horrible (although on my druid he’s only done 9)?

For a while I had a steady crew of 1-2 heals and at least a frost Mage. We had one strat that just worked 8-9/10 times. Got to the point where they were flag carrying even when they were primarily in PvE gear. Nothing was touching us, we were too fast.

Cynwise recently posted (and I think I had a rant in the past), that where PvE rep grinds get easier every day, they seem to make the PvP ones harder to obtain – yet don’t increase the rewards there either.
