Ehh ... I'd kinda quibble with the "expect victory" thing. Since I play BGs, not arenas, I often see "OMFG u scrubs dont defend towers u fail" and the like (which ties into your second point) from the armchair generals unloading their pants all over /bg or /raid. Expecting a perfect victory will just aggravate you when you fail.

In many cases - certainly in Tol Barad - towers (or flags in EotS) can be irrelevant to actual victory. The aim is not to win by capturing these things but to win despite them. Treat towers in WG as already lost, treat yourself as already dead; the aim is not to survive, but to take as may of them with you as you can.

If you fight for victory "ok scrubs lets win this so i can get mi pvp bracers" you're going in with the wrong attitude. Fight because it is a good and virtuous thing to kill the enemy.

"Fight because it is a good and virtuous thing to kill the enemy."

That sounds like a 40k quote.
