    Wasting time and tilting players can be a perfectly valid tactic. If I'm in a BG and I lead 3 people from an enemy team on a wild goose chase, that means they aren't playing the objective while they chase me, for example.

    Fair enough, but a good portion of the time I see players wasting peoples time while their alliance is losing ground. They should be with the rest of their alliance defending their objectives.

    What if you don't have fun playing zerg v zerg. I generally don't have fun playing that way. Playing solo allows me to use all 10 of my abilities and is alot more rewarding for me

    Then you will end up having a long ride back if you die.

    I am not saying people have to play the objectives, but they are the objective. Would you join a battleground and ignore the flag because its not your favorite thing to do? Would you join a ttials group and level another weapon and fill soul gems? Theres nothing saying you cant, its just common curtesy that you do not waste other peoples time by disrupting the established game for selfish reasons.

    Do you join a pickup game of basketball and practice fancy dribbling techniques in the corner of the court while everyone else stands there waiting to play again? If you have no interest in pursuing the established objectives then the other players will quickly refuse to ever play with you in the future.

    The problem here is that this is a video game hosted by ZOS, so the players are powerless when it comes to refusing to play with dishonorable players. People take advantage of this lack of socital mechanics that would otherwise eject them from the playingfield. Eventually they fall under the misconception that they are doing nothing wrong and start to become hostile towards any notion that they are.

    Everybody has the right to flip the chessboard when things arent going their way, but that doesnt change how people will react to it.

    When I see 1vXer being chased by zerg I just don't interfere. I could just mark him if he/she is using cloak and throw shrouded dagger to slow him/her down, but what's the point? No fun for any of us. Chasing is boring, I prefer to wait for someone to come back to me or just forget about that person.

    I don’t chase. A player that flees has admitted defeat. Ring around the rock is just another variant.

    The runners and LOS players always give me a little giggle. Why? Because they remind me so much of Monty Python. "Attack!!" "Wait, RUN AWAY!" The funniest part is when they claim victory after not fighting. "yeah, man. but you didn't kill me!" Okay.

    They also remind me of a man with a TV remote control constantly flipping the channel every 10 minutes. They don't watch WHAT is on TV. They want to watch WHAT ELSE is on TV.

    In my book:

    Doing it in 1v1: bad.
    Doing it when you´re outnumbered: Fine (it´s not like your enemys wanted to play this fair).
    Doing it after being the last survivor of an Xv1: terrible.

    Can´t think of any other situation where it would matter in the first place.

    Not saying that i like it. But most people that complain about it seem to be doing so without reflecting about the situation properly. Sure it´s not fun for you when someone walks around a tree or stone endlessly - but maybe when he´s fighting 2 other people already it´s also not fun for them when you want to join in as the third sniping away happily?

    Yes number 3. It is so useless... ive just killed your friends while you were helping them. Running around a rock is not going to safe you or make you kill me in a ''1v1'' situation.

    Snipers dont understand that second part btw... since Miat is gone i think they pop up in every outnumbered fight now too.

    Wait wait wait...... did you just stipulate that a player running around a tower while outnumbered... lacks the common courtesy to just die, because it’s wasting the chaser’s time?

    I find it inacceptable to fight outnumbered opponents aswell.
    We should aim to exclude these dishonorable players from the community and name and shame all of them publicly.

    Its more the fact that some players build their characters specifically for these activities and actively seek to create these situations that I find is lacking in common courtesy.

    If you get a quest to capture an enemy resource and before the capture completes a hoard of enemies comes to defend it, then by all means run away, break line of sight, use whatever you can to win the fight.

    On the other hand if you hop on your horse and ride 3 keeps deep into enemy territory, cap a resource and sit in the tower waiting for players to show up to take it back, then proceed to lure them up into that tower, where you run around and around, popping mist form, using shadow or invis pots, jumping from level to level, over and over until you find a player you can manage to burst down before continuing your routine of circling the tower...yeah, that action lacks common courtsey in my opinion.

    Its less about laying down and dying. More about not actively seeking out situations where you entice the enemy to chase you around objects with the selfish goal of getting easy kills.

    Go to the enemy keep your team needs to capture and tower camp a resource there, at least then you would be helping your alliance, and facing competent opponants. But I suspect the kill death ratio of doing that pushes these combat avoiders to the back keeps where the pickings are usually much easier, because veteran players know whats up and simply ignore the trap since it poses no real threat.
