So they don't have to spam PASS THE BALL to you, the dps merc running the ball with 6 people beating on him with tankasins jumping up and down in your cone of vision past the first flames 15m away.

So they don't have to find out enemy team is inc by seeing a node change possession, because you didn't bother to call inc before getting steamrolled.

So they don't have to ask you, the full tank spec PT in tank gear, to use guard.

So they don't have to tell you, the DPS PT to attack the marked healers.

So they don't have to lose possession of the ball in huttball after you get stunned on the flames trying to slowly walk it across without having a CC break up.

So they know at least a few people on their team will try to cap in novare coast mid battle, while you fruitlessly continue trying to clear the area by whittling down an enemy tank 50m from the node.

And most importantly: So they know there's a lesser chance of you actually being on their team.

agree....the amout of people failing at pvp basics..like using the keyboard to turn...having S key binded(backpaddle)..understanding Los...and so on...is actualy insane in swtor..but i guess thats because the majority of people here actualy were sw fans that never played a mmo before.

outside of premades i can endure the pain for like...3 warzones...then i rage and afk a couple more and eventualy quit the game and go cuddle with my pillow

People unbind their S key ?

Backpedaling is situational , but very effective.

I mainly PuG and I rarely see these issues anymore in WZs. Of course, I do recognize most the players when we play, so sometimes it plays like a premade w/o Mumble.

On the other hand, it was pretty annoying the other day to have a player w/ 12k HPs and no Expertise complaining that the team wasn't up to his standards in the game we barely lost vs a Imp premade. Compare that to the fresh player w/ 13k in Recruit gear who solo guarded a node for most the game and called out Incs way in advance.

I have been invited to some of the better premades on our server, but I prefer the challenge of fitting in w/ different teams. I tried premades for a while, and it was kind of boring rolling PuGs. When rated comes out, and Premades are matched vs other premades, I may try them again.

New one from a game just 20 minutes or so ago:

So they don't need to worry about you running the ball the wrong way in huttball...twice.

I don't know about that. I saw a member of a premade do that, although only once.

Shure like catching the ball from a crowd taking one-two steps back if you stumble too far into hazards making elistist feel like superior beings etc.
