US Be A Leader! Don't Give Up!

[Captain]

I haven't played 19s the past 2 expansions like I have in the previous years until Legion. Since then I've been visiting the 19 forums a lot. I've seen a lot of negative posts whether it's regarding to quitting, the bracket being worse, you name it. This isn't just the 19s being negative either. Imo, some of you need to lighten up and be a positive impact to these levelers. Yes, it can be EXTREMELY frustrating, some people can just be hard headed and there's nothing you can really do about it .. I know the feeling ...

The point of the thread is don't be such a negative nancy. We as a community have experienced and learned so many strategic plays throughout the years of WoW's development. We're basically the black belts of PvP in our Twinking brackets to these levelers. All we need to do is branch off our knowledge to others.

I was on my 14 Twink Mage (soon to be 19) and I was in a WSG that was going COMPLETELY downhill. I kindly whispered a player who was currently holding the BG Lead to pass it off to me. Once done, I took initiative and leadership over these players. I began calling out strats in /rw and everyone cooperated! No miscommunication, no ignoring, everyone worked together and listened. I honestly wish I recorded that BG with how well everyone listened. As everyone followed my directions and listened, we ended up winning the BG 1-0. Ending the BG by turtling with the flag as both teams carried each others flags at their bases. It was an intense game TBH. I personally enjoyed myself and felt proud because of what simple actions can cause.

Here's a picture I took with my phone of the players appreciating what I did to turn the game around. Moral of the story, don't give up! Just stand up and work together! That's what we need the most anyways <3

The 19 community had many sour players in it. One of the only things great about the bracket was the leaders, when they leave so does the good side of 19s. You cant recruit players by calling them retards and telling them to stop using there S key. The best way to get a bracket going is Youtube.

I agree with the original post and many of the comments. And I admire people who are capable of keep their cool and patiently help out other people or assume leadership. I've tried to tell people about the currently known gearing principles and urging them to gear up (it's easier and cheaper than it's every been before as far as I'm concerned). Often, though, I've met with outraged resistance or general thick-headedness. Some people flat out deny ilvl has any relevance, clinging onto their prized heirlooms. Some were giving me hard time for 'lacking stats' in my whites, simply stating that stats is all that matters (I guess they never look at their character sheet). I never rage at anyone or bully people, I hate that kind of behaviour. But I may not be particularly polite after losing 8 games in a row because half the team is deliberately setting themselves and the team back. :|
