Funniest BG

[:1]So I have a look at our groups as I'm about to head off in AV, I mount off and take a look. To my surprise and horror I see that we've been grouped by class. The raid leader had, for some strange reason decided to do this, what a crazy thing to do.

Someone asks "Um, why have we been grouped according to class?" or something to that effect.

The raid leader replies, "I'm a GURL gawd."

Yes, you heard that right, it's the stereotypical girl that's come to ensure victory for the other team. But what a way to lose. I've never seen so much chaos on the alliance side before. No one knew what to do, people were qq'ing and leaving. It was an epic fail. I've never laughed so much in an AV in my life.

For some strange reason there are over 1000 games on AV and AB WSG and 700-something on EotS today.|||hmm why would it mater ? you just zerg the enemy base and kill the boss, why does it matter in what group you are ?|||...

I have no idea what to say to that|||Well, it's a reasonable question...Sure, in a raid, you NEED to carefully plan out groups so that buffs and talents enhance performance within each group as best they can.

But in a BG, it's just not an issue. I've never once finished a BG and had everyone shout "Thank goodness our raid leader created ideal melee and caster groups for us! Without it we'd never have had the dps to kill Van\Drek\get all those flag caps!"

Maybe in a very strictly planned premade you might worry about it...But that certainly doesn't sound like what the OP was involved in. IMO it says more about the egos (and lack of skills) on certain players in that particular team than it does about any raid leading.|||I'm confused as to why the raid leader tried to explain the group setup with being a girl. Are girls generally more inclined to group people by class or what? I don't get it :S|||I've never been in a BG where each group stayed together. Even if they did, once people start dieing they get spread out all over the map.|||yeah I don't get this post at all?|||ugh, ok, I'll explain a bit.

Generally on alliance side in AV someone will explain 'tactics' for us:

"1 - 5 RH, 6 - 8 Galv then towers"

They might even say "stay in towers till they cap" or something.

Yeah, not everyone follows this and you get afker's, but generally speaking, that's how it goes (and someone always caps the SFGY. Not to mention "DO NOT CAP FWGY UNTIL RH CAPS!!!"

By colour-coding everyone by class, which was apparently done 'for fun' or for looks, without realising why no one usually touches the groups. Basically it short-circuited alliance tactics, everyone became unsure of things (not to mention half of us were laughing hysterically). After 'complaining' about the groups, the reason given was that "a girl did it". Like the little kid that saw a butterfly and chased it everywhere and eventually off a cliff.

As to why we lost quick, I think it probably was because many people started leaving (after b*tching) which put us at a huge disadvantage. Not to mention all those who weren't actually playing, but typing in chat (there was much qq'ing).

My guess is that alliance actually don't know what to do unless someone tells them. The best AV's I've had were where everyone did what they were told. Groups 1-5 stayed together and groups 6-8 stuck together. By that I mean, not necessarily to their particular groups, but to the group as a whole.|||LOL, i get it, makes perfect sense. Girls tend to like things pretty and organised, so would make sense to have all the mages in one nice little group

And yes if you actually do stuff by groups then this would cause chaos.

My GM is a girl and you should see our bank vault, It is color coded!!!!

thats right doesnt matter what the item is if its purple it goes with all the other purple things on that lvl tab. I must admit it looks kinda cool having the colors of the rainbow across the tab.

From the Horde side, our organisation is as simple as "Can we have D this game?" or " Lets get a big D" then people either do it or dont, if we dont it tends to be a loss.|||Quote:

Um. So...some unknown entity, who statistically is probably not female claims to be female to cover up a stupid, and you guys automatically believe it? Stereotypical? Eh? What? There's a stereotypical and limiting thought in here alright....not the one that was pointed out.
