    You're gonna have to speak for yourself here, because you'll never convince me of this kind of nonsense.

    Don't get me wrong, you're right that Flames have, by far, the most Eso/Law farmers out of every GC and can be a royal pain in the ass to lead, but saying the entire group sucks based on your personal bad experiences is ludicrous.

    I've had hardly any problems with the Flames on Primal. My career winning % has been as high as 46%. Highest weekly % has been above 50%. I score in the 40's on an almost weekly basis when I PvP, and I've managed to keep my head above 30%. My time with Flames in Seize has actually increased my winning % back up to 35% since it's massive dip during Slaughter, and I was on a good roll before I stopped PvP'ing to dig into the new content (mainly Thordan Ex).

    Personally, I'm not a big fan of leading the super derps, but when I have no choice, it is a rare match to have them completely ignore all outs. I'm not saying its easy, nor am I implying that I'm some kind of tactical genius, but I also won't claim that there a "complete lack of communication" either. Honestly, I'd like to see a match where no one communicated, because I've never seen that before. What I have seen (and I'm thinking is far more likely) is a group of pessimists starting an trend of negative comments in the chat box. I dunno about you, but, even if I'm not leading, I try to keep that kind of crap to a minimum because that is what loses matches. You'd be amazed at how much keeping positive helps the team win. Helps my matches all the time. Maybe yours are different, but given I'm not the only Flame with more 1st place than 2nd and 3rd (respectively, not combined), I don't think generalizing all the Flames by saying "they suck" is very accurate.

    Also, what the heck does consecutive wins have to do with anything? Personally, my best winning streak (if memory serves) was closer to 10 matches, give or take one or two. Was an amazing week, and it was done purely with PUGs (cuz there are no Flame Premades on Diabolos).... but so what? Overall wins are counted, not consecutive wins. You could win one / lose one all week and that would still put you at a 50% win rate. So, your dare is fairly pointless and silly, because it wouldn't prove or disprove anything even if someone won 20 matches straight (they could win 20 and lose the next 50, for example).

    TL;DR If you're having trouble keeping a solid win % with the Flames, than you should put the effort into at least looking for trends as to why your matches are so vastly different from mine (or people who have better than mine and end up in the weekly top 50), rather than issuing pointless dares and rambling about how all Flames must be bad because they're not dead carrying you to a higher Win bracket.
