So yesterday's BG daily was WSG. I don't especially love WSG, but I'm in honor-farm mode so I try to always grab the daily.
I get the quest and then take the team on in. It's us vs. an alliance pre-made, so I think "well, at least this will be over soon". I don't consider myself a huge asset in WSG unless my teammates are willing to work with me in a strategic fashion-- there's no way this was going to be pretty.
Turns out the BG leader (not me, in a rare moment) says, "Oh, a multiboxer, here let me put you guys in the same team. Why don't you wait in the wings mid-field and be prepared to use your shock factor on their flag runner as they get about halfway home, then we'll cap."
Well alrighty, sure thing.
So I loiter around the mid-field with my guys, and when both teams have opposing flags, I mount up and charge into their flag runner + pile of alliance. I pop my EM+NS+CL combo, followup with a shock, and return our flag... perfection. We cap, and even though my team gets wiped in the middle, I have accomplished my goal and rez to do it again. Next time, they are slightly prepared for me, but I am able to take down the entire flag escort and a hunter teammate pops their flag runner. Short story, it was a quick 3-0 victory for the team. I am elated that I both won a quick WSG and that I maybe found a strategy that I can help contribute with.
Back in town, I turn in the quest on my main and then swap screens to my alt and.... WTF WHY DOES THE QUEST GUY HAVE A BLUE EXCLAMATION POINT OVER HIS HEAD?!?!! Turns out I had only picked up the daily on my main and had forgotten to get it on the rest of the team. *smackhead*
Seven more attempts at WSG later... still no win. A lot of angry Horde players who assume I'm the reason that we're not winning, as well. Ended up giving up on the daily and just called it a night.
I know we've all done that, but man does it make you feel stupid!
