NONE of the Warzones REQUIRE you to ever kill anybody. If you are playing every Warzone with a "kill on sight" mentality, you are a terrible awful player.

Won another Alderaan today after the "point of no return". A brief span of 3-cap and some long, heavy 2-cap defense and boom, 10 point win.

Good thing OP and his defenders weren't there to sit on left the whole time after things got hairy.

No, if you don't want to participate in a game and give up the moment things go wrong, just leave.

Because you're sure as hell not needed.

OP suggests not to cap if you're losing. I think the better course of action would be to cap all three. The harder the victory was, the more you'll remember it.

This will not happen in rated WZ's. If they keep a stat for desertion most will be too embarrassed to do this behavior. Especially when they start to realize who the real bad is on their team. Also, most people in vent can't say the words, "hey we lost lets give up" without realizing how sad that sounds.

yesterday in ald wz, I had the opportunity to witness comeback. The sith team was losing to us 600 to 350 or something ridiculous like that. We held each node and took them. I noticed that people became complacent and started to just mess around on Rep side. WELL, lo and behold the sith came back with a sudden bang and we lost 2 of the nodes. They didn't win but dang it became a fight to the end. And it was one of the most fun times I have had in a couple weeks.

Prior to that win, we were in a wz where we were losing by less than a 100 and the ops leader informed us all to just hold the one node we had and forget trying to cap the other two. JUST gave up and said ahhh hell just farm medals.

Well a few of us decide we were not quitters and again we had a awesome fight to the end. Despite losing, we didn't lose by much. But the attitude not even half way into the game was horrid. IMO... and again I guess we all have different ideas of fun. Mine isn't farming medals by hugging a pod and defending but by working together as a team and trying to overcome your loss by actually doing something.

The only reason you enter a WZ in the first place is to engage enemy players. You are being deliberately obtuse to troll the tread.

Yeah man. Good thing those defeatist quitters weren't there to cost you a win, I mean after all you would have missed out on so much had you lost that game.

You would have lost 0 Valor. 0 Commendations. 0 Time. 0 Effort.

Maybe they should actually make winning make a difference and then people wouldn't just farm medals and call it a day?

PvP involves fighting players.

If you're avoiding fighting players you're a terrible PvPer. I'd say go back to KTing but Ilum is empty.

Regarding the "fun/equipment hunting" topic going around here, i play PvP 'cause i enjoy it! am i such a big misfit around here?? I love helping my team scoring in HT, i love trying to get a Cannon in Alderaan, i really enjoy defending (instead of attacking) the bomb sites in the Voidstar...mind you, i'm not a tactics freak, i just love shooting stuff, and if it's in PvP, better even when i lost, i mostly had a good time! And, as i said before, i never quit...i'm i being pounded? probably, but hey, i bet the other guy is enjoying killing me Do i get a reward after? Yes? awesome!! If i don't...well better luck next time!
