As DavidIsaak said, I'm not looking for people to sympathize with me, because there's simply nothing to sympathize about. This isn't a QQ story, it was an example leading to my question the in the ORIGINAL POST that was asking why people do completely illogical things. He also admitted that he knows druids are better flag carriers, then gave no logical reasoning as to why he didn't drop the flag, and then he called me a troll.
I'm curious as to the thought process. Is he being a griefer, or is he stupid, or is it something I haven't thought of.

No one can tell you that. He could have thought a million things. Maybe he likes taking flags, maybe he thought it wouldn't take a better carrier and he could take the flag himself, maybe he wanted to cap 3 for the achievement, maybe he was just being idiotic and thinking this is a single player and his team is played by bots, maybe he had no reasoning and acted bot-like himself, maybe he really thought you could support him better than he would ever support you, maybe he doesn't know much about the game and dislikes being told how to play, maybe he's not mature enough to withstand being told.
I probably still missed a lot of scenarios.

Okay, regardless of my oppinion being biased, based on the (biased) facts I've stated, in your oppinion, why do you think this person did what he did?
My facts may be biased, but that doesn't change the fact that that could be what happened, even if you believe it isn't. Also, why would I lie about that? It's not like I put his name here so everyone could call him an idiot or something.

You're missing the point here. The question isn't wether or not we should judge the warrior. That was just an example. There are plenty people like this around. I've faced similar situations literally hundreds of times.
Why are people like this? Key word being people and not that warrior.
No matter how biasd the OP is it will not change the fact that the same situation happens every day.
If I were to put myself in these peoples shoes the reply I'd give would prolly be: I picked it up so I'm gonna cap it. I don't care if you are a better carrier. This is me playing the game and I want the sense of acomplishment from capping.
Also to bring up the issue of being biased again. It doesn't matter, the OP being biased or not has no bearing on the question in order. We are not in a courtroom desciding wether or not we should exact punishment on that warrior. If someone poses a statement then we'd argue based upon that statement beeing true since there is no value in assuming it is not.

The fact that this dude comes on these forums to QQ about it says enough.
It isn't QQ. Posters like you continue to annoy me.
Read the thread.
Use a little thought process.
Make an intelligent response.
Profit.
If you actually use that organ inside your skull - the brain, as most call it - you would understand what was actually going on in this thread. As you seem to be lacking in IQ, I'll leave it at this, as reading this might give you a headache. (Big words are scary.)
I also don't understand this "bias" the OP is being accused of. Because he views himself as better than this Warrior does not make it biased.
He asked a legitimate question: Why do people not think before they act?
Now obviously that's the broad question, but it's basically what is being asked.
Personally, I just think he was a dumb player. He didn't take the time or thought to consider if there was anyone who could take the flag that was better geared/higher leveled/whatever, nor was he smart enough to make a fast acting decision to pass the flag off. He then panicked when you confronted him about his stupid decision, and resorted to name calling.
That's my take on the situation. If the Warrior was a good player, it would not have happened. Now I'm not saying it's a bad thing that he isn't a smart player, afterall, this is a lower level bracket and it could be his first character. I'm just stating that if this player knew what he was doing, the OP wouldn't have encountered this situation, and this thread wouldn't have been made.
/thread.

I'm not saying that threads like this need to be made, I was just trying to say that there's something to discuss here rather than they whiny "omg QQ post i can't use my head to make an actual response".
If you're going to comment on it, why not comment on something that could be an actual discussion, rather than get your petty +1 post count? That is what annoys me. The absolute lack of intelligence.
Yes, it can be considered a QQ post, but with a simple use of their brain, this thread wouldn't be completely garbage.
Anyways, reporting for a lock as this is going nowhere.

I think I'll try and go with the first, and hope that it can turn into something
slightly
better.

I don't think it is a QQ post, but I can see how people consider it a QQ post. Nothing changes, nor am I being hypocritical, but hey, I can give you points for trying.

Oh, sorry. I used the wrong word. I meant I wasn't contradicting myself in any way. Happy now?
I still think you're an idiot.

Know what? How about this? I'm an idiot. Of course warriors are better flag carriers than druids before they even have spell reflect. Silly me.
This thread has gotten derailed so badly, but at least two people made coherent, logical answers to the
ACTUAL QUESTION I ASKED.
Oh well. Thanks Davidlsaak and HoleofArt.
Edit: Also, goshadstep2lose, how is an arms warrior a better flag carrier than a druid, if there's no healers?
I can understand if he were prot.
At least maybe goshadstep2lose can provide me with his almighty insight into this?
Pros of druids:
Shift out of snares and stuns
Can heal self
Can move at 40% speed
Has feral charge if feral(I am feral)
Can shapeshift into bear for good survivability
Can root people 3 times with no cast time with one button
Barkskin is -20% damage
Survival instincts is extra health on demand
Barkskin glyphed is -25% chance to crit
Tell me how a warrior is better, I insist.
