Still at it huh? Maybe I'm not the Troll after all. Relentless Logic gets ground to pulp when you want to insult everyone. goshadstep2lose maybe you should get out more and learn how to interact with others in a positive way.
... just sayin'

it was a convenient way to cop out of an argument thought, wasnt it? My argument was always that Arena only players have social issues. You, my child, are a Case Study.
delivery has nothing to do with the logic
The lack of Logic precludes the need to use childish insults. You require Self Examination instead of Self Love. I implore you to seek help. You will be better for it.

To clarify, to me (and I'll assume many others)--as a spectator--your original argument would be more like: "Good arena players cannot PvE" in those concrete terms, which is false, because there exists not only one, but many counter examples to that.
However, if the conclusion you were trying to reach was that high end arena players by nature have defunct societal functions, in my eyes I already see the need for a lot of data from research that is plainly out of any reach of average players such as myself (read: teenagers with no access to funds to conduct the sociological studies I have in mind).
In any case, the past 3 pages have been repeating the impasse that we've already established. I implore following readers to just let it rest; let your feelings not be hurt; and to stop flinging insults at each other.

Hasn't anybody pointed out that the OP got his facts wrong?
Bg's are arenas are two completely different things the only thing they share in common is your against the opposing faction.
In Arenas, you sometimes face your own faction.
On topic though, I have over 2,000 in Arena and have played many BG's myself as well. I agree that there is a strong correlation between doing Arena and doing well in PvP in BG's, quite often winning the BG for your team. BUT..... on some rare occasions, I do notice high-rated, skilled Arena players focus entirely on PvP, ignoring key nodes in BG's and key strategical elements... constantly fighting on the roads, not bothering to interupt somebody capping a flag because they want to kill someone else first, etc.
So no,
Good in Arena does not = Good in BG's. Not an automatic assumption. It just so happens that, considering they're both relatively similar, PvP in a video game, utilizing knowledge of PvP, and using various Arena skills, players who are good in Arena tend to be good in BG's. But not automatically the same thing.

Thanks DeathBlood, and Elwood66 you guys really brought me to my senses. I know now that Arena-only players can play in BG's, and Raid as well. What was I thinking? Well just thanks again, and Godspeed.
P.S. goshadstep2lose, here is a copy of my original post on the subject. I hope it reminds you of someone.
Im not sure brah, when I kill 5 players on the enemy side every min or so making them unable to assist their team in the bg, Im sure im helping alot while dong lots of dmg and kbs.
I barely partake in the actual objective of the bg, except when i kill them at their flag and cap it, and I seem to win most tof the time, I say I'm doing my part.
bgs take skill?
This pretty nicely sums up the Op's point. Thanks for making it so obvious. When you are mashing the inexperienced the real players are taking objectives away from you. Kill 'em all, they don't know why they're fighting anyway.

It seems to me that random bg's killed all incentive for trying in them for most people. Is it true that you and a friend/2's partner can't even get in the same bg without waiting 30 minutes now? If so that was a !@#$ing horrible idea...

Ah...took two months off and the old "arena people are elitist" argument is still going strong.
