E/W. Though it's pretty astounding how many people don't know that OR L/R very well. Then again, a lot of times they're usually all just sitting at one door or turret...so 'get to the other one' will suffice.

The bottom line is that Left/Right is easier for most people to understand.

No thought process could possibly be quicker than "GO RIGHT".

We can chide players all we like for not being more familiar with East/West usage, but at the end of the day is it better to feel "cool" for using E/W or actually have everyone where they need to go by using Left/Right?

Right / Left screws a LOT of people up from the Imperial side. Our map is reversed, so Left in spawn = Right on map, and vice versa. You may say it doesn't matter, but it has confused a ton of people and caused lengthy explanations in the middle of WZ's.

East / West & Snow / Grass are the only two that are consistent when on Imperial side. I believe Snow / Grass is better because it is visually recognizable as to why, and you can identify quickly if you got yourself backward. East / West works also, but people on my server hate it and bicker between Grass/Snow and Left/right.

Right so imps use e/w
republic can use left/right
L/R is so much easier than E/W that you imps can say that republic has overpowered directions on CW.
I try to use E/W but it is not intuitive unless you are looking at your map and not at the game screen

Genius isnt about being smart. its about being simple.

when talking tactics.

Right, left and mid mean the same thing regardless of imp rep.

I admittedly wish Bioware would simply number the doors and turrets in warzones. It would be so much easier and clear cut for everyone to just type a number in chat when you are fighting and need help quick. O.o

I'm not arrogant. I'm just aware of my greatness.

Going forward, I am just going to call out port and starboard from now on.

I never did the east west thing, but it is less confusing than calling out right and left. Cardinal directions never change based on perspective. Most everyone does the right and left thing and very seldom a few will do east and west on my server.
