Okay first of all, where do you get off talking down US players? I'm not saying they are better than EU at all, as I haven't played EU... I'm just curious as to how exactly you know the standard of US players if you are EU.
"Far as US i think yall have many fresh players that dont understand the actual objective of the game so many of US BGs are filled with players running around like chickens about to get their head cut off."
Here you say "... i think" ... What makes you think that? you are assuming based on 0 knowledge?... Ok.
Also I think it is EXTREMELY ironic that you have admitted to GY farming and all that BS and here you say "...dont understand the actual objective of the game"
If this is some kind of troll, I would implore you to stop.
If it isn't, I'm sorry.

While this is true, don't EU have the non English-speaking player demographic also?
Just in a different form.

French and germans can only be on the opposite team unless you grp with them. Spanish players can be on both teams and are USUALLY inferior to the others, however you rarely get more than 3-4 and 1 of them is decent and speaks english to some extent.

I'm bored so I'll add my thoughts ... hehe ...
WSG is "Capture The Flag", its not Arena, its not AV, its Capture the Flag. That's how the game is won. Unlike Arenas and AV wherein Kills are essential.
You can have 500 KBs in WSG and lose.
BGs are objective games first and foremost, you want Kills go World PvP or Arenas.
But at the end of the day you cant be forced to play objectively, so i guess do whatever makes you happy. Just don't expect heals haha.

This thread is being taken wayyy to seriously... I think everyone knows that some of the points in his vid are true. I can't count the number of times I disengaged to a healer and took my time to type heal while they just dps away. The hunt one was mostly stereotypes while this is sadly kinda true.. This vid was obviously a counter vid to that hunt vid so idk how anyone is surprised where this came from..
Difference is EVERYONE has seen 5+ vids of the same thing about hunts or same posts that it's old and not funny anymore (just for me personally.. may still be funny for some people) however healers normally don't get nearly as much attention yet are arguably just as if not worse then the avg hunt skill wise. Tired of people not sharing the hate and giving all of it to hunts completely. I'm willing to share with healers!

Because it's funny.

That's kind of funny, when you are the one that takes any bad word about hunters as a personal attack. At the same time you don't take kindly to others. Everyone has their gripes with other classes. Which classes are more annoying depends on which class you play yourself. Myself and many on these forums play different classes (including hunter). When hunters get called out it might not be a conspiracy against yourself but the fact that hunters are a threat to many classes. Then seeing a hunter complain about having to "try hard" to solo certain classes seems just insulting when your class doesn't even stand a chance against a bad hunter. To be fair; rdruids and hpals would have been my biggest gripe in 5.0-5.2. I don't agree with your idea of a "balance of whining". Just suck it up and play or quit. My 2 cent.

Its funny because most healers probably click and keyturn as well.

I think healers got their part in the whine from 5.0 to 5.2, now that they're nerfed they're kinda ok again, but trying to imply that healers didn't get (or haven't got for that matter) their fair share of whining and QQing is, in my eyes, wrong. There are MANY 'qq, i cant faceroll healers anymore' threads (not only on this twink forum, but nvm), probably just as many as there have been threads about how OP hunters in the same period of time. Now, with the recent buff to hunters and nerf to healers, there will be more 'QQ X hunter facerolled me' threads because it's just a fact that hunters (and I don't mean hunters exclusively, but they are one of the 4 most common classes - especially alliance - out there) are VERY VERY good at the moment, while requiring VERY VERY little skill to 1v1 certain classes/specs. Same as healers needed rather little skill to keep 3 people alive. (One could say that hunters have been really good/OP for the whole of f2p but that doesn't matter as much now, because they don't simply outshine EVERY other dps class/spec anymore as they did in Cata)
I think, that the 'focus of QQ' will always shift to whatever is OP in a given patch, and if it's hunters at that time (it's not only hunters now, but I think they are the most common and obnoxious) you simply have to get over that.
If mages would for SOME reason be overly effective in 5.4, sure I'd be a bit happy that my favorite f2p class gets to shine once in a while, but I would probably refrain from playing it, just like I haven't touched my hunter since mid-5.2. Similar applies to Elemental Shamans right now: they were mediocre dps all over f2p, getting giggles out of TS'ing 5+ people off LM every once in a while, but that was it. Now that they're fairly good (I still don't believe they are OP, they got a nice extra damage mechanic, but I think they deserve it and it's not like it's blowing out of proportions - just an example: I've seen maybe 10 elemental shamans on EU-alliance since 5.3 hit, 1 of them was 24. But I've seen over 100 hunters of any spec at the same time, tons of them being 24, but the same goes for prot paladins ETC ETC ETC, that's not the point) some people QQd about them, but then again a ton of people got something to reroll because they finally see a point in doing so. I see buffs like that rather as an incentive to give people something to reroll, a reason to deshelf a character they haven't played in a long time and maybe get them hooked on playing them instead of a reason to go 'QQ THIS CLASS IS FOTM QQ'.
My very long 2 cents, and as a special PS for Lìl: stop taking everything someone says about hunters personally

I see this video as a direct response to the hunter video. It just a bad ripoff and fails as a satire. For example I believe those are OPs regular keybinds and he does keyturn. The bad gameplay is also ambiguous.

I never said that the "A Tribute to Huntards" was very entertaining. I find it meh. One video i really liked was with the flirting shield slammer. I just don't get how the "League of Extraordinary Huntsmen" get butthurt over a silly hunter video and then "retaliate" with an even worse "funny" video, to evenly distribute the insults. ("sharing the hate" TM #Lil )
