6 RBG failures

I've never done any of these. Admit that you've experienced even one of these at some point while playing. Or at least seen these done by someone..

Getting knocked off from Lumber Mill. Or from the middle of EotS. "Did all of us just die?" "Yes."

Handing the flag to an enemy player. "I took the flag and saved the whole game! But when I tried to hand it to our tank, the enemy took it..."

Not noticing that someone is capturing the base. "Gold mine is clear.. Wait what, bloody stealthers."

 Forgetting which faction you represent in the game. "The Horde has gathered 1600 points soon! We won this shit!" "Dude, we are on the Alliance side in this game."

Using trinket on sap and getting blinded for 8 seconds while the 
enemy captures the base. Also applies on fear, sheep, hex.. "Guys! Ehm I need some help here..."

Forgetting to AoE the flag when you were supposed to do so. "Oh yea, Rain of Fire... Ops, they got it."
 

Favourite ganking places on Timeless Isle

Bloody coin farming. I guess it has both it's lovers and it's haters. I find it fun, actually it is one of the funniest things in the game atm.

 The Cave. (Cavern of Lost Spirits) 

In the cave you can easily hide or retreat to get rid of the overgrown group willing to kill you. There are also lots of objects that can be used to avoid getting slain, despite that you should probably still use rocket boots... 

Now to the sneaky part: it's a pretty deep cave and there are two ways to get out from the end of this cave and knowing that can be used to get your chasers confused. (Only one way to enter there). You may not be expected to go out the other way while your chasers are still climbing up the only way leading to the end of the cave. 

• Lots of mobs that hurt quite a lot, try to to avoid them
• Click the blue bonfires on the ground to take less damage from the mobs 

Horde and Alliance flight paths.

The easy and annoying way to kill others, according to the ones you're ganking. Flight paths and the GYs next to them are great places for finding AFK'ers even though the hazard of these places is that there can suddenly be loads of very angry people wanting to see you dead... That's the point when I decide it's better to run. 

• Try to click the healing sand-covered eggs on the ground as you run, they're really helpful
• The guards won't attack you, not even your enemy factions' guards. But...
• Remember not to AoE in the villages.. you're gonna regret that 
• Even though the guards won't attack you at flight paths, they will at The Celestial Court

  

Firewalker Ruins. (The start of the bridge) 

Love this place for it's amount of people walking by or killing mobs. It is also on a cliff which makes it great for using glider to escape from too many people. The only problem is that the amount of people can sometimes get a bit out of control and you may end up dying or running as fast as you can... (or vanishing as a rogue).


Useful items for ganking:

Cursed Swabby Helmet - Makes you able to retreat to the water or chase people while swimming
Hardened Shell - Dismount the players who are running away  
Rocket Boots - Run away and catch others, probably one of the most useful items in world PvP 
Glider - For example great for escaping from a high cliff
+ Other items that give stats to you and are usable on The Isle, such as Overgrown Lilypad, Crystal of Insanity...
