Okay with this being EoTS I weekend I found out something earlier, Found something else out earlier today too, if you run and grab the flag too early your wow seems to go non respondent (possibly cos im in windowed mode) although there was several people around the flag running on the spot.
Why do this, s'abit pointless.
Scenario:
Tell people to run to the flag dead early on and crash peoples WoW, Why would you do that? Well tell your group just to hold back, let the horde run and grab it first, sure they will have a little disadvantage, with bases but atleast your 5 man up.
1a: Sometimes ive joined a EoTS (after relogging I was still in name still in the leaderboard) but sometimes ive joined them and my name hasn't been up there so I suspect you could possibly get extra members into a BG via this method, in this case everyone could run and grab it in the enemy team and end up with 30 members. :/
1b: if this is the case with the extra members persuade everyone in your team to do it, and try and convince them once they relog they could get extra team members into the BG
i'll leave it up to you guys to experiment
Update 1: If stayed in non respondant or dont log in quick enough your character gets kicked with no deserter
