Eisla is fair speeding through the levels, and at 17, I decided to run her through WSG now that it’s mostly twink free, for some gear and lols. While we did have a 4-1 win-lose ratio, my teams did still drive me absolutely crazy.
So I put together this (incredibly serious) little guide, complete with visual aids!
To begin with, the basic aim of the game:
Doin’ it rite: Capture the enemy flag.
Doin’ it wrong: Graveyard camping. This is level 10-19, kids, you don’t need all that honour. Ok? Ok.
Next, catching the flag carrier:
Doin’ it rite: Do some quick maths and intercept them.
Doin’ it wrong: I’M CHASING AS HARD AS I CAN BUT I CAN’T CATCH UP, OMG.
Simple, right? Now, let’s put all that knowledge into practise.
Here’s a losing strategy:
The EFC is defended by a competent healer, your FC is under serious fire from a group of enemies… and the rest of your team mills around in the middle of the field like a flock of useless, misshapen sheep, contributing absolutely nothing to the match.
Here’s a winning strategy:
The EFC, while defended by a competent healer, is overpowered by your forces. Your FC is defended by a nice healer, and King Leonidas, who destroys all invaders. In the middle, the drooling masses of the enemy assault are kept busy by a couple of Rogues and Hunters, who are keeping their tiny brains focused on KILLING DOODZ instead of capturing the flag.
Now, you can WSG like a pro!
FOR THE HORDE, MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!
(But seriously, kids, it doesn’t hurt to play the game with a modicum of intelligence.)

That was seriously awesome.
The drawings made it for me. You could have left out all of the text and just shown the pics and it still would have been full of win.
