Why Are We Hated So Much?

[Toonarmy]

I think that for people that play BG's they might feel a little ripped off. Take this as a possible scenario.

Some dude spends eons gearing up his toon. He has some uber high epeen score (that took a long time to get I might add) and is used to killing pretty much all the undergeared BG folks. He's pretty cool (just look at his epeen rating after all). This is a good life (lets be honest here, who DOESN'T like doing this?)

Then along comes a welfare geared 5 box shammy, nothing but 10 losses a week and the WG weeklies.

Then all of a sudden Captain Epeen starts getting one or two shotted by our shammies (who have a total weekly time investment of about 45 minutes...clearly we're not as hardcore as he is...therefore not as deserving).

If I put myself in Capt Epeen's shoes I'd be kind of frustrated too. I'd be wrong to be frustrated, but I'd still be frustrated. In the end I think it comes down to sour grapes. He died. We didn't. He's pissed.

My two cents.

I agree with this wise man.


I think gear makes a massive difference. I get about 1 person being not positive about boxing each week, max. I'm sitting on 6k GS x 4. 4/5 wrathfull.

When i queue for daily HC the tank mostly loves to go with me. Because there´s a good chance it´s the fastest run he´ll ever witness at the right level.

In BG it can be extremely powerfull to have 5(me + healer) 6k GS pvp´d geared player. I literally carried a team a couple of eots. The alliance was obviously retarded, but still it's good fun. If you're able to crush their morale in the first couple of minutes by slaughtering them there's a good chance you allready won.

Once you get to the point where you'll add more to your pvp or pve group then a random Pug, then you'll see the negativity drop i think.

i got that problem too, but my shamans have enough gear to clear most heroics without a tank, so in general I kick every tank instant when joining the group before he says anything and doing it on my own
