I haven't been TK'd since closed beta. However I've had a couple of instances where me and a teammate will be capping and right before we win they alpha me.

Anyone else keep being TK'd or Shot at?

Confession to make - I've TK'd a couple of times by accident. Seen one of ours brawling with one of theirs, lobbed in a volley of LRMs to help and...oops, sorry mate, was that your engine? Oh dear.
Moral: Do not use LRMS if a friendly mech is within 100m of the intended target. It can end badly.

You guys would not believe how many I have seen in the past 24 hours. I don't know how you guys don't see it more. It's either my bad luck or it's becoming an epidemic.

I *used* to TK a lot. It's loads of fun, espescially when you strip apart some fancy founders mech. The reaction is priceless. I stopped though after a punishment (1 week ban) for it. Who knew that having fun could be bad lol? That said, now that anyone can make any number of accounts. I imagine the possibilities for TK are endless now. This is what happens with a free to play model that screws over the free player so hard that the only way to have fun is trolling the pay players.
Also if you need to farm money. Damage done = money paid out, regardless of against who. So shoot up all those AFK farmer trial mechs, it's free bonus cash.

I've decided that if I am in a streak cat and in a pug, and a teammate walks from behind me to just stand in my way as I am chaining away at some poor sucker, I'll just keep firing and wreck their back armor.
I don't do it if they are sweeping in and circling, I'll just hold for a sec and let them pass, but soooooooo many noobs just walk from behind me, 2m to my side, then just to come to stop right in front of me, in line with the enemy. I'll just keep on shooting.
Either they move or die. Either of those out comes works for me. If they get mad, then maybe that is good too, perhaps they'll be a little more aware next time and instead of running in between an atlas and it's prey, they get an angle or hold for a second.
