I wouldn't call 'using cover to avoid damage' a cheese tactic. What are they supposed to do, sit there and let you kill them?

Although it is pretty childish when people complain in a whisper.
Ya, but then I can't get whispers from friends and guildies. I also don't like using ignore because there are people I have had salty conversations with that I became friends with. I don't like closing doors to meeting new people.

It's the situations where a player is not attacking anyone, while being attacked by a group of people while they tree hump and spam shields and dodge roll around said tree. The situation where it is inevitable the player 8s going to die, but it is a matter of time. Ya I find it cheesy. I am not against it. Go for it. Do it. I do it. I just don't want to here you cry about it when you die because someone 8s being cheesy right back.

Wrong, it has no place here. If it does deserve to be on a forum, which it does not, then the PvP forum is the place and not here.

Completely agree for the most part. however shouldn't I try to do everything in my ability not to die, would you just lay down and die in real life? hell no. For the record i wouldn't chase someone in to rocks just dumb. I just move on let that dude play alone.

Yes. As I stated in another comment, I have no problem with people doing these things. I do them. Just don't hate tell me about me spamming ambush, or wb, or any gap closer etc when you have been doing the same spamming nonsense. By all means do what it takes to survive. Just don't yell at me when you die.

Also, ever think that people are forced to do this to avoid said groups spamming skills like mad? If you were facing a zerg spamming ambush, wb, gap closers and what not would you think anything less than breaking los would be at all enjoyable? Your groups potential 'tactic' forces people to play like this regardless of how much they may enjoy it, so you spamming those skills just justifies them doing that even more.

I'm not talking about zeroing a guy down. I'm talking a group of 3 or 4 roughly. Whether that be pugs that have gravitated towards the same person or people actually grouped. Regardless, whether it is a small group or a zerg, this point does not matter.
You have missed my point. As I have stated a few times now, I don't care that a player does these things. I do them. Sometimes it's fun to troll a group for a min. Sometimes it doing it just long enough allows for reinforcements to show up and bail you out. Also, it never fun to just give up. Do everything you can to survive. No problem with that at all. Just don't appreciate people who use equally cheesy tactics that are used to bring them down and then Hage tell people for it. It can be annoying and is hypocritical.

My point is you are saying that trying to avoid these irritating skills is as cheesy as spamming these skills and I don't agree with it. If the game wasn't as rewarding for these spam skills then perhaps more people would do other things to both fight and fight back. As it is now you rarely see that as people get on one side or the other. In short, people using their brains to avoid damage in such a brain-dead meta of 'spam one skill to do well' should be rewarded more and is far less cheesy than spamming those skills.
This is a purely personal issue and has no place in this forum.

This is ESO, i've run out of hope that the meta will ever shift in a direction that won't reward a small pool of skills being spammed to be successful. A little while ago I was on my pvp tank and got a rage tell calling me a perma blocker, guessing I made the guy miss his daily quota of zerging people down by not keeling over instantly. I doubt that any change will get in that allows people to build for that kind of survivability with all the rage it would cause, but I would love to be proven wrong.

Thing is either players are just sad that their rageing about tanks in PvP cause they can't kill them or just idiots cause hey tanks are spec to TAKE THE DAMAGE BUT NOT DEAL IT. Like really all you DPS cry babies jsut cause you can;t kill some one doesn't mean scream and cry nerf till your red in the face it just mean move on to the next target cause while your wasting resources and time away on the tank their allies are sneaking up behind you to kill you.
Like I know it's been said alot but are zergs, gankers, and DPS players ingeneral really this sad that they have to kill everything in sight and if they don't it's OP and needs nerf,
