Text of the page (random words):
does bring up the question what a rated or 5s group was doing in a traditional pug anyway i d put it up to a blowing off steam or taking a break except that they ve been staples of the random bgs for the past month well sort of random anyway you ll find them in the lower sized bgs for the most part where they can have a larger impact on the outcome wsg bog tp ab and eots the advantages of a well oiled machine like what they have over a bunch of puggers ought to be obvious it would take a massive screw up on the rest of their side to lose or having a comparable rated team on the alliance side from a game standpoint a rated team has just as much right to run a regular bg pug as the next group but i can t help but think of the similarities between that and an event that happened several years ago my son was playing baseball in an instructional league for six and seven year olds each team was allowed a maximum of two eight year olds per team because of the instructional nature of the league if you ve ever seen six and seven year olds play you know that you ve got the wide spectrum of abilities and attention spans assembled out there on the field i used to pull my hair out watching my son looking all over the place rather than at the batter on more than one occasion the ball would be hit toward him and it scooted right on by before he realized what was happening in one particular game however we arrived and i noticed several of our parents looking worried over by the sidelines i shooed my son over to where the coaches were and joined the group they d been watching the other team warm up and something wasn t right they re acting way too mature for six and seven year olds one mom told me sure enough that team had gotten the balls out and were warming up without any supervision whatsoever and their accuracy was almost frightening once the game began it was clear there was a mismatch their pitcher was throwing hard and i do mean hard and mowed down our players with three consecutive strike outs they came up to the plate and started killing the ball everywhere before the first inning was over the score was 6 0 i was annoyed but i couldn t say much i mean the other team was just that good it was like watching a major league team play against a college team when one of our coaches came back to the dugout however he was mad he d been talking to all of the other teams kids when he was out at second base as an additional umpire and it turned out that the other team was playing with a stacked deck all of the kids were eight year olds additionally that team had a game the next day in an eight and nine year old league they were using our team as batting practice as you can surmise the game was called after three innings due to runs our coach put in a protest to the league about the other team and we found out later that several other teams had done the same thing nevertheless the damage had been done it s kind of hard to explain to a seven year old that the ass kicking they just received didn t count because the other team cheated because they d just been beaten out on the field comparatively speaking what that baseball team did was cheating while a rated team running regular bg pugs isn t however the mismatch is very real and can be very disheartening to someone learning to play bgs spend an entertaining afternoon being corpse camped in wsg and tell me how you feel that makes you a better player here s a hint it doesn t when you respawn get buffed and then you get stun stun stunned to death you have almost no chance at actually learning to play instead you ll probably decide to not play pvp the hardcore eve types will argue that it s all for the better to separate the wheat from the chaff but there s a drawback to such behavior you feed into the stereotype that pvpers are all assholes who hang out with ninja looters and trade chat nutjobs l2p noob doesn t help the community it harms the community by making it shrink am i arguing for a self banning of rated teams from regular bgs it is tempting but i believe what s needed here is restraint sure you can wipe the floor of the ww with the other team s butts but there s no need to go corpse camping it isn t necessary to hold onto that last flag instead of capping just so you can farm honorable kills the big rule ought to be don t be a jerk after all karma can be a real bitch a short update in between the time i wrote this and posted it i spent a half an hour in wow i got into wsg and discovered the full mal gannis rated team on the other side what happened after the first flag capture they put us on farm players began leaving like rats fleeing a sinking ship after another five minutes of it even i gave up and took the debuff rather than get killed another dozen times soloing the pit of saron seemed like a better deal remember the armory is your friend and when that doesn t work create a toon on the server go to the hall of legends and inspect them that way know thy enemy eta corrected a couple of grammar errors in the baseball story posted by redbeard at 3 40 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels battlegrounds the wow life friday may 4 2012 just d wait what do you mean that line s taken this is written for the newbie blogger initiative which is going on throughout may 2012 you can find more info at http nbihq freeforums org trademarks aside that s the best advice i can give a new blogger just go ahead and write don t be afraid well be smart don t write things that ll get you in trouble at work or with your family or with your friends if you want guild drama the easiest thing to do is start posting about the scuttlebutt in your guild and what you think of it all if you wonder whether something you re writing is going to cause trouble skip it and come back to it later if however you really don t care what people think and you ve got the intestinal fortitude to back it up then damn the torpedoes i realize that people will say to write what you know and yes that does let a new blogger start out on familiar ground but for my money the act of writing itself is more important you re only going to get better as a blogger and a writer if you challenge yourself by pushing what you can do when i look back at my initial columns when writing pc i cringe i had no idea how little i knew about wow and what i thought then was decent writing now seems really klunky and pretentious do i wish i d been a better writer back then sure but the thing is the only way i really did improve was to work at it i played more learned more about the game and i wrote when you write a funny thing happens you gain perspective you analyze yourself and what you believe you realize that not everyone will agree with you hell you also realize that what you thought was pretty good might be utter crap to another person or worse boring as sin don t go into this because you want to be an awesome cool popular blogger because that s lightning in a bottle you can t chase fame without sacrificing yourself in the process instead blog because you want to and because you have words that want to come out when you blog like that you re exposing more of yourself than if you were chasing fame but in that risk lies the reward a blog is a strange thing it s composed of your writing and it can live indefinitely if you want it to it doesn t need readers to survive what it does need is a blogger don t worry about readers don t worry if it seems you re shouting into the wind concern yourself with what you can control and that s the content write posted by redbeard at 6 57 am 4 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels blogging newbie blogger
