This is specifically about Warsong Gulch. Here's the deal about it: Whoever gets three of the enemies flags first wins, OR whoever has the most flags when the timer goes off.
Now, okay. I was in this group just now. A good percent of the people weren't very good at battlegrounds in the first place. A lot were low leveled. We only had a few that were 47+.
This one guy kept bringing himself into the battleground, right? Then.. then he would go AFK. Away from keyboard. And do absolutely NOTHING the entire time. He didn't do this just once. He done it over two times. Two different battlegrounds. He's been doing it repeatedly.
Every time, he's been reported. This means he gets no honor points or experience points for anything done on the battleground. Basically, he's hanging out there like a useless rag and not getting paid for it. Which is great, he deserves that.
I think he's doing it on purpose. Why? Because WoW sets you to AFK after you haven't been moving for a while. But in order to get into the battleground.. you've got to fucking move! You have to move over to sign up and everything. Yet when he gets in, he's AFK? Numerous times in a row? Yaright. He sets himself to AFK and does nothing on purpose.
This means that we're one player short, and since he's technically "there" we can't get another one in to help. When you're one player short with a ton of low levels.. who do you think is going to win, the higher leveled team who's ganging up on you with ALL their players, or the lower leveled team who's missing a man? Bingo!
Now, here's the deal. I don't know if there's anything that can go on right now, but I think that if they're reported AFK once.. they shouldn't be allowed to come back in for thirty minutes at least. Literally. If they're reported a second time, an hour. A third? All day. Get my drift? It's obvious that they're doing it on purpose. Traitors, if you will.
Another thing! When you're a freaking miniature character, or any character for that matter, do NOT blow me a kiss before you kill me. That pisses me off because by the time I get back to you, somebody else has ALREADY killed you.
And btw, rogues wouldn't be able to kill a priest without that stun ability. I mean, seriously. Stand in front of me, don't run in circles. Don't stun me. See how long you last.
And, finally, at Arathi basin, when there's an incoming.. ANNOUNCE IT. You may be great but when you're one person against five, you. will. fail.

I didn't know there were bg's for level 47's. That sounds like a huge ball of fail. Warsong gulch sucks for me without a pocket healer, I just get zerged to death repeatedly. THANK GOD they gave it a time limit in the patch. I don't know if you've ever been in a 45 minute losing Warsong, but it really sucks.
And if it makes you feel any better, I really despise rogues also. They have way too much control at their disposal, imo. However, if you can live through their cooldowns, they are relatively easy to kill. Sigh.
@hexogen - Yeah they have bg's for most levels. I know for certain that you can go to warsong gulch when you're level 10+, I don't know about below that though. I think arathi basin requires a certain level.. It is a huge ball of fail. XD
I didn't try warsong until after the patch.. i'm glad. I would HATE to have to be in there until someone captured all the other teams flags. Especially when defense on both sides is awesome. X:
When I was level 39 a few weeks ago.. a level 24 rogue kicked my ass because he stunned me. Then I couldn't cast any spell on him because he was running in circles. I was so pissed. See, if I could stun HIM he would have been an epic fail because it would have taken about three spells to nail him. :/
@pillowpixies - That's cool. Do you get XP for doing them?
Yeah fuck rogues. Lol. Seriously, as a cloth class, rogues will be able to kill you in seconds until you get a lot of resilience. I started to be able to live against a rogue at like... 500 resilience. It's rough. Also as a caster it can be really difficult to work movement into fights, because you can't cast while you're moving and such. Melee will always run around you in circles because they can make it really hard for you that way. You kindof just have to start running in a random direction as soon as you're out of stun sometimes, to put distance between you and them so you can cast. I hate fighting rogues sooooo much. I decided I'm going to level one purely so I can learn how to play agaist it, if that makes any sense. Lol.
What spec is your priest?
@hexogen - Mhmm.
Ugh, my priest is holy. I was going to put her into the shadow branch, and I tried that.. but then I couldn't heal myself. Since I suck so badly at the game, healing is a must for myself. Seriously, I know now that I shouldn't have made a priest. :/ But I'm not going to go back and make a new character from scratch either, haha. I've put too much work into this one.
Mine has ZERO resilience. Maybe that's why she gets nailed so damn easily. :/
@pillowpixies - Well you can always respec her once you're 80 and have some gear, you know? It'll be a lot more fun to play at that point as well, because you won't have to focus purely on staying alive.
@hexogen - Lmao, I don't focus on staying alive now.. at all. I'm one of the morons who rushes out and does as much damage as possible before dying again.
