The little amount of honor that you get for a flag capture when you lose the BG isn't worth sticking around for when you can get in line for the next BG earlier. Neither is the experience. Assuming that is true, here is a rather unethical way to improve your position. The concept is simple and basic and I'll explain why it works. If you are losing a BG and aren't going to recover… go AFK and rejoin for the next one after you have milked all the kills you want from the one you are in. That is really it. How it works: If someone goes AFK they are booted out of the battleground as most of us know. After that, a person in the queue for the next battleground takes their spot. The queue for the next game just became one person shorter since that person is now in the current game. The person that just AFK'd out rejoins the queue and is in line before anyone else that was in their last game. They are now one spot better than they would have been if they would have waited until the end of the last game. (Remember the person that was in the queue that replaced the one that just AFK'd out?) Had they waited for the ending the best that could have done would be a position worse than they are now. Assuming they didn't join in IF and have to wait on lag in which case they could be significantly farther back in line. So one person goes from being in a losing game and getting a nominal amount of bonus honor for the flag capture or two that they managed to being in line for the next game that is about to start. The other person goes from being in line to a game that is already lost and then immediately has to get in line again. Like I said, it is rather unethical. I personally think it is a terrible and screwed up thing to do. I also see people doing it everyday and figure that as long as it is happening anyway, I should share with the people here. My personal take is to keep track of people doing this and then ignore then and not invite them to future raids… after I explain why. If you don't explain why then you aren't really accomplishing anything.
