There are a lot of them, but i'll highlight my main points.

1) One good player can turn the tide of battle, but not if the other team has more than one good player. If I join a WZ where no one is passing ball, fighting on turrets/doors, I would rather leave and wait for new group

2)Some teams are just fail. I played a Civil War earlier where a sorc tried to cap a Turret with me, instead of knocking back/stunning the group running to us. Then later, I solo capped a turret and got zero backup while 3 people fought out in front of the turret nowhere near it. I don't mind losing, I just don't want to play with bads

3) When I join a WZ and we have 3 level 10s in greens, you know its bad news. Now don't be hasty and say "but level 10s...etc". I started Queing at level 10 too - difference Is I already know how to guard turrets/doors pass the ball etc. People can learn by losing, I don't want to lose with you while you learn though.

4) I don't care about medals/valor/commendations/stats. I care about competitive play and having teammates that can back me up and be accountable. If i find none of those in my current WZ, I will leave and come back later in hopes of a better group.


I am disappointed they are putting a penalty because It is not fun being stuck with bads over and over, but of course I see the logic behind it. I will enjoy the last 2 months of not being forced to waste my time losing because my team is full of low levels and bads.

5) I zone into in progress warzones/get randomly DCd all the time. I don't need a 15 minute wait on top of that.

1) The better team wins... shock.

2) You tried to cap a turret with a sorc, instead of defending them with cc etc. You capped the turret while your teammates distracted the enemy away from you.

3) The level 10s may already know what you in your infinite skill claim to have known at level 10, and I doubt you entered in lvl 10 blues/oranges, even with your skill.

4) If you die or make a mistake, everyone else is to blame.

Did I do it right?
If you've got the credits, you've got yourself a deal.

everyone can find a reson to leave a warzone there is no doubt to it!The point is that if everyone start to using his right to leave a warzone in every given chance we wont have warzones anymore!If you think that this is fine then i am fine with it either

6) I have a modem that likes to randomly crash without warning. Getting a debuff for technical issues is liable to keep me from queuing up altogether.

7) Sometimes, I get thrown into a losing match that's already halfway over, and I don't feel like playing the rest of a match that's already lost.

8) I hate playing in Alderaan.

The fact that queue hoppers are a problem for warzones/battlegrounds is one of the many flags that instanced pvp is one of the worst ideas in MMO gaming.

I, nor the OP, have to justify anything. My $15 is worth just as much as yours, and I get to say how I spend my game time. If I'm not having fun doing something, then I won't do it.

9) I don't want to fight the same Battlemaster Premade again tonight.
10) Getting Farmed at the last Objective/Cap is not my definition of fun.
11) I don't want to fight a 4-Sorc Hybrid Healer Premade...ever again.

I like the Instanced PVP. For those that jump ship because you think it makes good sence to find a better group. A group is only as good as its Weakest link, and you myfriend showing that you're the Quitter. Then that makes You the weakest link.
No matter how bad the team sucks, I tough it out. I know I need the practice.
