Bot/Batt Leaching

woot Caylith has a new sig&avatar!!!

And I still haven't met her in a fight :(:(:(

Now you CAN'T tell all your friends you've been pwned by Caylith. Too bad for you, I can.:cool:

Back on topic, I don't think this is such a big issue. To be honest during a fight (specially the big ones), you are so tense that you get ticked off by the slightest of things. I've felt this myself and it's quite irrational.

If the battle Dieter mentioned is the one I'm thinking, I was there with him and we were the last two against two lighter/smaller ships. The whole battle stretched out for more than an hour (almost an hour and a half).

By hour one, I was so grumpy, I remember getting ticked off because the guy we were shooting was gaining nanos instead of losing (probably his friend was trading them to him). At that point I was "yelling" that the guy was farming his own NPCs (also, I don't even know if there were NPCs green to me around). Fortunately Dieter calmed me and asked the reasonable question, "Did you see him doing it?" I didn't and it probably didn't happen at all. Point being, when we loose the edge during a fight it's easy to look for something (or someone) to blame for it. Sometimes it's just bad luck or poor assessment of the situation.

Also, about trading stuff during the fight. Even though it's a bit frustrating to shoot three ships through one, that's precisely what you're doing, you're destroying everyone in the group, bit by bit, through one guy. If the other guys are trading stuff to the one you're shooting, when you finally finish him, the others won't have it for themselves.

I also agree when Mjolnir says that when people are busy shooting NPCs they aren't shooting you.

Most important of all, I definitely agree with Caylith that they (the admins) don't need the aggravation.
