Riiiiight...
Craig: Crack at me all you want. I've seen what I've seen, and as we've established, reporting any single goddamn thing that does not include the word 'hack' to Support accomplishes absolutely nothing. You also do not get to assume that someone who survived in a match longer than I did is somehow automatically 'better' than me. It could very well be that I was in mah Angry Ape that day, busting faces and reaping souls with eighty tons of flying AC/20 devastation, and ended the match with 600 damage and four kills...but since Victors attract a lot of attention, I was clawed down before the rest of my team could clean up. And the last man standing is that g'damned Spider jockey who's gotten forty damage all game, who turns tail and jackrabbits every time he sees anything so much as fart in his general direction. As a very astute fellow player once said: Timidity Is Not a Tactic.
All: Give me an option to honorably retreat from battle. Make PGI put in a Withdraw button - and DO NOT tell me the Withdraw button is Esc>Quit. I should be permitted, as has been stated, to run out of bounds if I wish to retreat from a fight I cannot win. Believe it or not, I don't like suicide-rushing the enemy at the end of a stomp any more than you do - I just respect my fellow players too much to kidnap their 'Mechs for ten minutes to salve my own pride.
So just for clarity, I never had a 'crack' at you, I highlighted the rules and confirmed for you what PGI, Admin and Mods have all said in addition to the other players here, which is that treason is a breach of the ToS and liable for a penalty (if reported).
You don't like it, I get that. But them's the rules. Deal with it.
I also gave you options to manage it, selecting match choice is the easiest one.
I was not implying you the last guy standing is a 'better player', far from it. That's an assumption by you. I was simply highlighting that if you don't die you will not have the problem you are experiencing. Again, it's your choice which game mode to play and how you want to play the game. No one is going to grief you for playing within the rules.
Personally I do have a problem with people clinging to the view you have expressed. This game allows for multiple tactics and builds and almost infinite options. I believe that just because I haven't thought of every possible scenario that someone who does something different to me must be wrong. I believe I can't possibly know what he / she is trying to do from the limited information the game provides so it is unfair for me to make an assumption based on my limited knowledge.
I prefer to (if my time allows) observe and learn from others to possibly improve my own options in the game. Do I see some idiots, yup. Do I see some good ideas poorly executed, more often than not (gosh how I laughed at the guy who shut down in the middle of the cave instead of ducking up behind the rock / waterfall). But sometimes I see something I never thought of (found a good sniping position on Terra Therma watching a Last Man Standing, even though he didn't use it to shoot).
Point is, I choose to use the time constructivily if my rl time permits, or I press escape. It's in my power to control so I don't need to get angry about it, I just need to choose what to do about it.
So much for my personal thoughts, it's worth nine tenths of stuff all I am sure.
But for the purpose of this thread, if you breach ToS by reporting a Last Man Standing's position it is you who are liable for penalty.
