Can we, as a community, eliminate the "Grass" and "Snow" in Alderaan?

Well, having one side in Alderaan scaringly many people have trouble understanding left/right, snow/gras and east/west or a simple help.....

and east/west can be used in ALL wz, reagarding where your starting point is.....
it's simple.

How this is of any importance is beyond me.

The stupidity of your teammates is always of the utmost importance.

lol i agree, you see this topic pop up so often and i just laugh now.. and to make things more frustrating in WZ's if someone calls out East or West i will always reply Grass or snow OR if they call grass i say East..

The frustrating part is people lack the intelligence to not be able to quickly discern east/west (which you can both type with one hand) pretty much instantaneous by the time you're a young adult. It's mind boggling to me.

Anybody find themselves using snow/grass more now just to annoy some of the people in this thread?

According to you, many people have trouble with them all, including east/west.

Maybe fire a flare and scream "HELP1!2!11!!!1!2!!!!"

For me, if you called for help at snow or grass, you would get a faster response than east/west simply because I know where they are (regardless of pvping on imp or rep). east/west will make me check the minimap.

I too use to be real big on the East / West as opposed to Grass/Snow. But when a person says East/West there is a moment of hesitation where some players have to actually stop, look at their minimap/compass, rethink what east/west is and then go. Granted, this all *should* happen in a matter of nano-seconds.

What made grass / snow alright by me was the people who get confused and can't remember east from west. Reinforcements don't come and nodes get capped. When a person types snow and grass and the average pub sees it there is a split second where a picture of grass/snow flashes in the conscious and subconscious mind. People then know without any hesitation exactly what is meant. While I don't enjoy grass/snow I do enjoy winning. So I'll keep doing what is necessary to facilitate victory - that is to call it grass / snow.

Hell, even I've gotten confused a time or two and said east when I meant west or vice versa.

This thread has inspired me to now refer to the bases as "Generator," "Command Center," and "Crash Site." In Voidstar, the western door is now known as the "United States" and the eastern door is "Hong-Kong." We have also debated "Ihop," "Dairy Queen," and "Friendlies" for the east, south, and west bases in Novare. Much to the disdain of our awesome healer Marilla.

Except in Alderaan, to successfuly win a game you will either have to control "grass" or "snow". So if you are calling out in defense, it should quickly be obvious which to go to, or if you happen to have both ends in your control you should be defending one of them. In that case, whichever end you arent on is the one being attacked.

Common sense.
