im just going to throw in my 2c .... fact is no matter what i wont win since the choice is up to a single person .... weather you like it or not .... if you are a su.ck up to her or the game features even though they are trash you will stand a better chance of winning a proven FACT
even though the best advice will be not to do BGs .... a person who prompts it will win ..... dont believe me just wait for the winners
also dont waste your time in battle grounds only use them for trading troops and dont expect a profit
UNLESS, its a good BG quest AND a exp tourney with good rewards .... if not i suggest you dont waste your time
