You said it all. ...
If you let up the pressure on them, by just "holding 3", you are going to lose.
Keeping 3 and still going for the other two, keeps them defending those other two, (when they aren't in the GY) instead of zerging your 3.

Only losers and morons go for the "get 3 and hold" method.
Wow that's annoying.
"get 3 and hold"
Me/others: Umm...you know they will just keep zerging one of the three right?
Get 3 and hold - sounds good, rarely works. ;p
Well, three and hold will work if you keep three people at each flag and continue to harass the other two flags. Now the more normal "let's leave the flag undefended" method that usually happens makes me want to scream.

The best Battleground Strategy is ... Communication.
I played in BG9. Few years back, some guys started a QueueQ (www.queueq.net, or you can google for other write-ups on this) cross-realm BG group. The idea is quite simple, get people from different realm to join a common vent server, and then attempt to queue as many people on vent server to a similar battleground.
On larger battleground, such as AV and Isle of Conquest, there's pretty much no gear check nor skill check required. The win rate, usually about 80%, is quite amazing consider the number of players still in their leveling green gears.
Obviously, in smaller battleground, communication can only take you so far. Individual skill, gear level and group setup will be equally crucial.
The problem with the frustrations in random BG with random players is that people simply don't want to communicate. In worst case scenario, they started getting hostile to their own side with verbal assaults or other silly stuff.
I would suggest that you should at least make an attempt to communicate at the start of a random BG.
From my experience, most people ignore the BG channel. However, private tell such as "Do you want to come with me to defend the xxx node together with another dps?" works very well. If you are a fast typist, you can even quickly pre-made a small team before the BG gate open. While this won't always win you the battle, you can be sure that a small pre-made roaming around BG in more fun than running around as a headless chicken.

In my experience having 3 and attacking the other 2 is NOT "get 3 and hold them".
Re LM/BS/Farm - the horde do have a slight advantage in AB if they can get those three, the alliance don't have a trio they can travel to and from as quickly, so I agree get 3 and hold them has a much better shot to work with communicating horde, but for pug alliance, it's not too good.

Exactly. "Get 3 and hold them" is never a good idea. Never.

Strategy? 
Alliance just does whatever it wants. There are no leaders because you hardly ever play with the same group twice, so there's no recognizable 'voices'... and even if someone competent does step up, people are mostly uncooperative. Mostly the loudest voices are the least helpful.
One thing that really bothers me are the people that don't look at the map. It's like having radar! People download hacks in other games to have such a tool... and yet people don't use it. |
