The reason is largely because guarding your flag room is mostly pointless. If it’s just you, you’re going to be steamrolled once 7-8 alliance come running in. As a rogue, you’d be playing to your strengths better if you 1)killed the enemy’s healers as they are trying to run the flag back and 2) teaming up with another stealther and ganking the enemy flag carrier if he’s hiding out in their base.

If you’re playing against a team that’s not sending everyone up, you *might* be able to team up with a few people and play defense, but that works best when you’re coordinated on TS or Vent.

Just an observation from someone who’s played a helluva lot of WSG, both in organized teams and pugs.
