Does anyone run WSG/AB afk?

Just curious.. I just started doing mixed with my level 25 warrior since it's great XP and I'm a bit nervous. From my POV it's an obvious bot, with no way to cope with kiting enemies except to turn slowly and follow mechanically.

I'm sure other players are more focused on PvP than looking at bots, but I'm afraid there's gonna be one person out of the many who will see me, and report to everyone else :\

Another thing is the pathing is completely random on WSG.. the bot doesn't even run towards objectives, he kind of runs back and forth mid-field. It would be more realistic to at least kamikaze into the enemy room for the flag than to ride around all game.

My solution for now is to type some stuff to show I'm a player every game, but obviously I can't do that while afk =[

AB, yes, because the new Beta BG logic actually defends nodes. It's not perfect, but you don't get called out as being a bot, because it doesn't just run in a circle, it dynamically runs to whatever node it determines it needs to. As for WSG, I am not sure, for one, there's fewer player slots, so it's harder to go unnoticed, and last time I ran it, any type of large mount would get stuck, so i had to buy my draenei a pvp mount for 2000 honor to fix that.

I recomend either Squire or Simple Follow plugins, they force HB to stay near another player, so hopefully the rest of the group has their shit together.

Maybe try the Prot spec, IIRC in prot it can charge in combat, which should aid with enemy casters that try to Kite.
