Today in Eye of The Storm, an Alliance rogue (I'm horde Priest), picked up the flag and ran to the very north of the map (where noone ever goes), near the cliff edge. Since horde had 3 towers captured anyway, it was a bit pointless and noone seemed to be bothered to go after him.
After a few minutes I decide to go after him since a rogue carrying the flag is quite vunerable (he can't stealth). If you ever visit this area of the BG (and there is never a need to) you'll know it's deep and cavernous so running away isn't easy.
This rogue was obviously after a bit of fun because when I turned up he dropped the flag and sapped me just before I could grab it, then picked it up just as I trinketed out and then sprinted away. I caught up with him again with my mount for him to start attacking me.
Luckily I was able to out-heal his DPS and got lucky with some stun resists, fear him away while the dots I had wore him down. I was so close to killing the guy, before he jumped off the cliff edge with the flag.
I was still kinda happy that I won that fight because stunlock rogues - well, rogues in genreal annoy the hell out of me since there's nothing worse than just being stunned with limited windows of opportunies to do anything. They're worse than warlocks, since I have multiple ways to break / resist fear and hopefully can out heal their damage.
I'm PvE specced Disc/Holy hybrid btw.
Sorry for the long diatribe, can't sleep - need to type something
Still waiting for your Holy Grail MMORPG? Interesting...
