How to win @ AB PUGs

I've decided that I'm fed up with my PUG teams scattering all over the map, focusing different targets, leaving bases undefended, etc., and campe up with this macro:

/bg Follow these rules:
/bg 1) DEFEND bases
/bg 2) fight AT FLAGS
/bg 3) focus HEALERS
/bg 4) call INCOMINGS
/bg = 5) win

I'm not sure if it's pure luck but I've won the last 3 matched in PUG using this macro and I noticed that people tended to stick together and not rush ST after getting BS and do other stupid stuff like that. It's probably pure luck, but can you call it luck when we win vs 7x24s opposite team, having about 2-3 of those on our side? I'm not sure, still have to test it out more.

PS I know premade is the way to go, but tbh the time spent on gathering a premade can often be the same as the time spent playing 1-2 PUG games. Moreover, it's more often a pugmade than a premade, and loosing a match to a PUG after having waited for about 20 minutes to que is even more frustrating than loosing in a PUG.

Anyways, happy hunting!

Won't help. I tried making a macro telling people how many healers and which healers to target since when MoP came out all the dps were reroll prot bads but it didn't really have any effect. Will still have 5 ppl attacking a dps with 2 hordes healing. A fourth of the people don't check the bg chat and the other fourth probably can't read english so macros really don't help that much
 
only macro I can get to work in pugs is

/s Please target %t


anything more complicated than that, such as asking for cc or giving strategies to win usually falls on deaf ears. Use /s always because they won't see it in chat, they'll just see the bubble spamming over your head.
 
I usually just yell in the bg chat ALLIES AT FARM!!! GET SOME!! or something along those lines in order for them to get back on defense. I find it works for those pugers that just want to kill shit.

Keep it simple stupid
 
Thank you for the ideas, guys. Gonna rock them PUGs. And yes, everyone should check out "How to win at BGs" 1 and 2 @ youtube by wowcrendor.
