That said I'm not diving into situations which will result in almost instant death but I will always defend the last turret til the end if I there is a chance of taking down a few of the opposition.

Quitters never imagined that they are losing because they are bad due to lack of practice do they?
This is why bad players remain bad.

Some of my most fun in warzones have been being spawn camped and while most of my team is cowering I manage to go kill someone or cap something. The idea of quitting or giving up does not register. The world needs ditch diggers too though.

That sums up the thread

It's amazing that people are laughing at the people who are playing the game they pay to play as opposed to folding their arms in protest of premades. Games are about trying to win, especially PvP. Even if you are 99% going to lose why would you enjoy sitting there when you can play, I just do not get it. And do not tell me it is to save the 2 minutes you will shave off this game to play another. Play the game, compete, it's more fun, even when you lose. Losing is not the end of the world.

It's not just a comeback to win that you play for. If you are playing against a premade that is awesome and you and your PuG manage to score off them and prevent the 6-0 or cap two turrets its fun, even if you do not get a W.
We disagree on gear progression but 100% agree on this.

You can still have a lot of fun when outmatched. That is when you can get better. You can try different tactics or ideas that might not be feasible in a close match.

Why someone would choose to do nothing over actually playing is mind boggling. They might as well stay in the spaceport. People who give up win a lot less often. This will be interesting in rated warzones with solo scores. In the long run players who quit/give up will end up much lower rated then equivalent players who never give up. I guarantee it.

Most satisfying match was a 5-0 win on Alderan. We were a bit under half of what the imps had, we took all three turrets but could hold them only for about 30 secs but enough to put us back in the game. Then we lost 2 while still behind but a bit above the dreaded half and I thought that was it but kept on going. Funny enough at 115-60 for the imps we got a second turret and kept it till the fat lady sung at 0-5. Can't describe for you how good that felt.

I don't manage my time in game, I manage my RL time. In real life we often can't afford the luxury to pursue something that has a very slim chance of success so we very rarely get the overwhelming feeling of satisfaction for beating all odds. That's why I never stop chasing the turrets, since Alderan it's the only war-zone in which is mathematically possible to win after being led with 600-5. I say possible not probable soo .....

I can understand your reasoning, without having a stroke as our friend Tyraelian implied, but I chose not to apply it when I play GAMES for FUN.

BTW I'm in full BM gear w/o ever AFKing, valor trading, exploiting or leaving a war-zone, ever.

Edited: Also had a couple of extraordinary huttball matches. One was won with a last minute score which made the score 2-2 and then we kept the ball for the remaining seconds the other was lost in the same fashion. Both gave me powerful sentiments for which I chose this form of entertainment for myself.

Typical ideology.

If it doesnt work quit. Instead of finding a way to work it out.

better than getting farmed. People dont seem to understand the difference between just losing a game versus getting decimated to the point where your team only manages 4 kills the entire game.

Granted i never did..but sometimes when i see the final score board, and my team had 4 total kills, and the other team had over 40. (top players had 40. didnt bother counting all our deaths) because you see your team rushing in solo, over and over and over. Makes you wish you HAD quit

heh perhaps instead of a vote to kick they should have made a vote to forfeit the game.

The problem really is if someone is in a circumstance where his team doesn't cooperate and just solo attacks, leaves. You are letting someone else enter an already defunct warzone. Which can be quite annoying if it happens several times in a row, which it will since you tend to be grouped with the same people.

I hate people wasting my time, by playing a game they clearly dont want to play in the first place.

I get your point

Its better to just sit there idle deny the victor more medals right?

Why attack and continue with the warzone eh? youre gonna lose anyway right? just find a corner and hope they dont find you.

Yeah thats the only way deep inside we can say we GOT BACK AT 'EM. . . very nice.

Then again why play warzone if your afraid to lose?

Ever heard of pacman? why dont you play that instead?
