You got two big ones there.

- cycloning targets that are one hit from dying.
- deathgrip away from DPS train because they are too lazy to walk.
- charging targets that are trapped before the hunter has time to get range.
- capping flags and leaving zero defense.
- fighting on the roads instead of near/on flags.
- appointing themselves as the "boss" and issuing random and pointless orders.
- boasting about damage done and kills when the objective really revolves around CC on the tanks.

I could post more but work is over and I want to go home.

What other people do in BG's doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Giving up before it's lost, or before it starts.

*Blowing bloodlust before the gates open just to be a jerk.

*People emoting /<jerk> has reported you afk. Type /afk to clear..." and watching you lose some on your team.

*EOTS and the entire team runs mid, manages to get the flag but have zero bases to cap it at.

*80-84 bracket of Isle OC and your team is camping the GY with the siege and the jerk recaps that base simply because the team said, "DO NOT RECAP OUR BASE" (Mostly horde side. Alliance side does pretty good)

*In AB you have the enemy CC'd (sap or sheep etc.) and are converting the flag. Your teammate runs up to 'help' you and hits the target who then hits you before the cap hit 100%.

*WSG the flag carrier runs straight down the middle.
*WSG the flag carrier decides to leave the base and go after the EFC totally unable to comprehend that by the time he makes the efc drop he cannot make it back across the field to cap before they get it again.

*WSG everyone runs up to grab the flag but then have a staring contest at each other. ("gah! ok I have 99k health... but I guess I will grab..."

Saying "let them win" or "YOU FAIL SO BAD" etc.

Zerging from one node to another in AB and not leaving anyone behind to guard anything.

Typically, the person who complains about this is the MOST guilty in the group...

Ya know, it would be funny as hell to just setup a few matches where only bots were in the BGs and see how long it took for the match to end.

BGs were always fun for me, win or lose, and I never cared what the other players were doing.

Except for one thing: healers, that are clearly still running in healer spec, not healing. Like the holy pally that wants to do his leet 3k DPS instead of tossing out a few heals and helping everyone, including himself, have more fun.

i generally am not bothered by incompetence in battlegrounds, but when someone actively gets me killed in bgs or world pvp i do get a tad angry. situations where if that person was not even there i woulda won the fight or gotten a flag cap or escape or whatever.

the frost trap one reminds me of how people break my blind all the time with wimpy autoattacks and dots and get me killed too. like the target is already blinded and they charge out of nowhere, dismount, and break my blind with an autoattack.

just now in tol barad some dk deathgripped my target away from me and i just walked away from the fight and let him die...felt good. why would a dk who is being attacked by a different player deathgrip the target i am killing who was not even attacking him from so far away i have no idea.

Me too. Back then, I had to give up on the team and it even went so far that I no longer gave a damn about winning or losing. I soon figured I was out for the WAR in Warcraft and not cap/rush to marshal-a-lot. And it actually worked out most of the time.

Ironically, helping teammates always got me killed or dying foolishly to single targets that should have been ganked with ease (like a druid taking on a warrior while I was around as a rogue). Dumbass never tossed heals whenever there were chances for those HoTs -_-.

Pretty much made me form several rules of coward engagements.


However, the unneccessary cyclone of a dying target pretty much sums it up. That was one of many recurring reasons of losing in arena too -_-.

This is a PvE complaint but this morning I was running a ZG on my rogue. I've had that priest "deathgrip" used on me for the first time ever. It kinda screwed up my DPS rotation and served no purpose at the time (ie. I wasn't standing in bad stuff). Then he used it on me on a different fight shortly after I sapped my appointed target. Then he used it on me a third time.

At this point I had enough. Vote to kick. Reason = "retarded?". The group kicked him out. I was so happy to control my character again.
