Tiger - Venture Co.

When Mijo was in her 40’ies I did a lot of battlegrounds and usually had fun with it. But to my surprise it
wasn’t the alliance who could ruin my fun as much as it was my own team. Everybody has their own strategy on how to win the battle and they just scream it out at each other, everybody thinking the others are wrong. There’s always more than one way to win a battle and one way can be just as good as another but some people think they are professionals who just got a lousy team. And that’s when the name-calling starts and if its only “noob” you hear – you are in luck! The language often gets way out of line and people simply forget than we are on the same team. Instead of focusing on the game they just spend their time telling the rest of the team how much they suck. And frankly that just isn’t very motivating for anyone.

Depending on my mood I sometimes butt in and ask people to say something constructive or don’t say anything at all. Sometimes it helps but unfortunately it’s rare that they have time to listen in between their own shouting. And sure sometimes people mess up, but it never helps to shout at them or spam BG chat with a long NOOOOB! Why not try and ask then nicely or just let it go?

Well I think you get my point. I don’t like the language you often find on BGs and it has sometimes made me quit when I’ve had enough. And it just surprises me that there’s not more team spirit, cause that’s often what makes us loose in the end. Instead there’s always a bunch of individual wanna be leader types and that’s just not the way it works. Some people even start out a game by saying stuff like “we don’t want a lvl 41 on our team” or “you got too crappy gear to be here!”. Yeah thanks guys, now I really wanna help you get your precious marks :P’

When I went to the BG I started out wanting to kill some allys but sometimes that quickly changes…

It’s a game and it sucks to lose sometimes, but it would still be fun doing BGs if people would just treat each other right. It’s always nice to end a game with “good job guys” – wither you win or lose. Because that makes you feel like going back and try again :)

After all BGs is all about working together and kick some ally ass –not going at each other!

For the Horde !
