WoW: Warsong redux
I took my 19 Priest into the Warsong Gulch battle grounds again. There were more of us this time. Like everybody else, I asked for an invited, but an invite never came. I’m not one to beg so decided to look around and try not to die as much.
I tossed buffs on anybody who ran by me. I looked for and healed anybody who needed it and attacked any enemy who got close enough. At one point, I started firing on an alliance guy who was being beaten on by one of the horde. After alliance died the horde player sent me a tell thanking me for stealing his death blow. I assume he was being facetious and was surprised to find we weren’t supposed to work cooperatively. I made sure to only do a little damage in the middle of a fight after that. It seems real stupid to me.
I died only once, got a couple kills and lots of assists. Instead of being at the bottom of the listings I was somewhere above middle this time, a much better experience. I still haven’t found a roll for a 19 priest in this thing, especially if we are playing as individuals and not as a group.

If you group into one 10 man raid group you all share the killing blows, this also happens to be the best way to win the battlegrounds. People who act alone are doing it just for their own personal gain and not for the good of actually winning.
The winner is the side that can act as a group, and so low is the level of co-operation normally that any type of working together is enough.
However WSG at lower levels is basically a mess most of the time.
