Quote:I would actually play WSG if I could fit 2 matches into 30 minutes. 1 hour turtle matches make me want to stick forks in my eyes.
In my last 10 WSG matches (6 wins 4 losses) I have only been in 1 game that was longer than 30 minutes. That was a very well played 3 - 2 loss which was a lot of fun. Of course there was only 1 other game in those ten that wasn't 3 - 0, it was a 3 - 1 loss and that was because we lost 3 players, a druid, paladin, and priest all from different servers and they were replaced by a mage with 6K HP, a hunter in PvE greens, and I don't know what but it left me as the only healer.
I've noticed that pretty much whichever team scores first the other tends to kinda give up now.
The problem with WSG for me is that I have way more fun playing with other Lurkers, but our BG matching system really does tend to put partial premades with other partial premades if you have more than 3 people joining as group. And that 10-20% (I don't track more than the last 10) chance of catching the hour long turtle fest can turn me off as well, but those seem to be the exception not the rule now.
As Bolty said strat is still not understood, but at least horde on our battlegroup will generally do a 10 man zerg, and get the flag back while grouped at least for the first cap attempt. We suffer when that fails and 1 - 3 people get seperated and don't just try to group back up. The most important thing is to just stay grouped up with a couple of other people, at least as a base level strat, but yeah. I'm happier with holding mid and then having 2-4 go get the flag, depends on what classes you have to carry the flag. Some decent carrier classes can't clear the flag room quickly and need more support.
Of course since my last 10 AB's have invovled us 5 capping them 6 times, and I've been in on three 4 caps in my last 10 Eyes, I still have better luck in there. Of course I still win about 33% of my AV's which seems to be a pretty high win rate for horde in our battlegroup and I end up in more 30+ minute AV's than 30+ minute anything else.
