This game, unlike WoW rewards you mor for being in a group, so it is dumb for them not to. Also rude. Not everyone does that, seems like you were unlucky.

I myself play NOTHING but pvp. Since in SWTOR pvp exists mainly in WZ, that is pretty much all I do. I like to consider myself a way above average SWTOR player when it comes to PVP and playing other people in general. Try me I'm on Infinte Empire (repub) side, I will destroy you. (say it to everyone few match up to my awareness of the game) The OP is not a noob when it comes to PVP I can tell by how he talks. He was embarrassed about his 70k in Huttball, however I would argue LESS is BETTER in most cases. Now I have a Guardian level 50 that I play regularly and when it comes to huttball. On the games we win 6-0, I was proud of myself when I was under 10k damage done. That only happened a couple of times, but that is when I had more than two people who actually understood the game. My damage solely goes to the opposing team that has the flag(85% of the time due to sunder) sometimes I will CC and mess with the healers ETC. I RARELY on winning games get over 30k damage.(If you have more you are simply not playing the objectives, or you really care about your DPS way too much.. I am lucky now, being a guardian and with common sense. I am DEADLY in Huttball, however the medals have turned to my favor ( a big step up from last patch) However. The true MVPS and best players do what the OP suggests. You CC and do what you can to get as many players as you can off of the opposing team. I use that particular strat constantly. If one person attacks me and tries to stop me, I ignore and get to the objective.. However if I get caught up with 2+ guys, me by myself taking these people out of the game gives me team an advantage. As a guardian I can take anywhere from 2-8 guys have them follow me to the other side of the map (literally dispelling seconds off their objective) an stay alive for upwards of 30+ secs. Which really adds up with the more people who follow. How does using AWE get me MVP--(renders all targets in range USELESS until touched for 6-9 secs(off hand can't remember). However ME doing damage at that point would be stupid, especially since it would knock them from their stun. At that point most will follow me wherever I go.. if I were to stand there it would be even dumber, not only would I get wailed on way harder, I'd have to blow all my sheilds eariler(once again no damage involved). So as I run and several guys chase me(giving my team the advantage) I go back there and make a big difference, but get penalized since I wasn't doing what it took to get them medals required aka damage, healing or defending. I exploited the other team's noobness and got my team points, and technically was the unsung hero, but what do I get-- 0 commendations and people calling me a noob who had 400k damage, but did not play the objective one time.. I like the medals, but I also think they are a big problem(for the above reasons) and now more noticeably the CIVIL WAR. This is causing HUGE problems. I am a GOGOGO type of person, if we can 3cap, I want it. I don't want both teams sitting at their base farming medals(aka getting defense medals for standing still AFK). There is no question this is the particular game that has been ruined with the patch. If your team is down, FUDGE IT, if we let the other team win and farm our medals(AKA sit at the one base we own), we'll get 100 commendations!!(instead of the 120... So my last couple posts were me SITTING in CIVIL WAR pissed as F@!#! because I was the only one assaulting bases.. Everyone else wanted to farm their defense medals... I can go on forever baby. If EA wants to turn their stock around (from their worst since 1998). Hire me, because right now you guys are clueless. I can teach you guys about a million things..

Yeah, it is a little better. I don't mind it that much, but everyone wants to turtle. And that is stupid.

Correct statement. So this is what my team does. And we do not try for a win. In fact I am currently in a game. And in this game the other team is all sitting on their base. all 5-6 of them They are not even attacking us. This is stupid. If I was on the other team I would be furious.

You don't get medals for playing the game right, but you do if you stand there and afk by the one turret that we have, which does no good since you need two... An occurance in most games.. Oh crap I have to farm my medals. While my team is full of them since they played team deathmatch and didn't help at all..

Taking the time to write this because the other team has decided to sit in the middle and my whole team has decided to camp their medals. So they accept defeat in mid, however only battle the one sucker(me) who goes in. and I have to suffer through this. The queue times are already crappy. Well-- still 80 points left in this game. Might as well go grab a smoke like the rest of them.. every game.. -- me in civil war

Oh, I'm sorry.. I was too busy winning..

Meh, I'm having fun. You guys spend way too much time complaining. Learn to be a happy a little(not talking about just this game)

This does me no good. I press spacebar and 1.

How to get ranked warzone commendations? As of right now. I know you can get them from the dailies.

Ha, yeah, would give you something to do while waiting in the queues. You can spend time perfecting it as well. Good practice for pros too..

SWTOR needs to release this patch ASAP for 1.2.. Maybe they focused too much of the resources on the story and not enough on the actual game...

20 in each chest along with credits.
