PvP woes

As I posted yesterday, I'm in the process of twinking my Blood-Elf Rogue, Demoth. He's level 38 now, which I consider to be about the lowest level that should be entering the 30-39 BGs (sore subject which we may come back to), and I found myself short of Arathi Basin Marks of Honor. As my server is woefully short of premades in the bracket I had no option but to dive into a PuG (pick-up group) of players from various servers in our Battlegroup. Well, the first two were good - there actually turned out to be 5 players from Burning Blade in the BG, and all seemed to be pulling their weight, especially Darkhornus, a warlock from S K I N S, one of our better Guilds. But the later games were another story...

... anyone who gets into a BG with me will tell you that I take them rather seriously. I like to win. Battlegrounds reward players with both honor and medals, which enable us to buy equipment for our characters. It's a fact that the winning team will get a whole lot more honor than the losers, and 3 medals against the losers' 1. So, what possibly can be the point of going in and not trying to win? Yet time after time I see players doing the dumb things, especially in Arathi Basin. Taking a flag and failing to defend it. Leaving a lone clothie on defence. Chasing after the Stables while the Blacksmith, Mine and Mill are held by the Alliance. Getting strung out miles from the flag and picked off one by one. I really need macros for "/bg Defend at Farm/BS/LM/GM!", "/bg Fight at flag!" and "/bg Get away from the bl**dy stables!". But, as I was told last night - don't try to lead in PuGs... half of them will ignore you, and the other half won't understand you anyway. So, from 2-0, I finished the evening 3-6. Not an illustrious start to my twink PvP career.
