Which words or comments make your blood BURN in PvP?

[Primal_Link]

While i would agree that sometimes playing over-passively is a bad thing, sometimes the alliance is better off holding that A rank on the high ground, particularly if you get a 2nd node somewhere. On saying that though when it is time to play aggressive people either waaaay overextend from their healers or don't push at all.

On the subjects of comments that make me BURN well there's one that stands out; "Focus the <GC>!! <se.XX>" if you ask me this is kinda pointless because either A: the GC shouted about is probably already in a very strong position and unless the 3rd GC is already attacking isnt usually worth trying (a sandwich) B: the GC not mentioned is focusing their efforts on yours to the point that you cant do anything about the mentioned GC until its either too late or otherwise or C: too many lone wolves in your current alliance that you cant make a solid move against the target GC (or node in general i guess).

The thing that pisses me off more than anything else:

"I don't really care if we lose, I'm getting Eso anyway"

I can't believe I forgot that one. Yes. More than any other comment in PvP, this is the one that infuriates me the most. Depending on how bad of an influence the person has been, or if they've been trolling, this is the only comment that has ever come close to prompting me to pop an vote/kick in a match. The problem is that a lot of these (insert several choice swear words and derogatory terms) usually save this particular comment until near the end of match, which is like a smack in the face to the actual PvP'ers who have a vested interest in actually trying to win.

The problem is that most people use it as an excuse to hide.

You'd be amazed at how easily a match that seems like a landslide victory for one GC can turn into a heated contest between all 3 if the two losing GC's are just willing to take the risk and hit that well defended target. Most of the time they settle for fighting over second because of sheer cowardice. No one wants to make the fist move on the big dog. They wait for someone else to do it and then jump in if it seems like they might win scraps off of the sandwich.

"Kill the tanks first"

Fortunately, I've never heard something so egregious. I can't even begin to pretend to understand that thought process unless maybe it's a Warrior in a group of no healers.

I feel blessed for being in a relatively respectful datacentre group. If I had been told some of these things (especially as a healer) I'd have really lost my temper.

For me, the worst communication failure of all is the opposite of the topic; a group where nobody talks and relays information. I get quite upset about it. Even the reminders not to chase people too far are useful - in the heat of battle it keeps everyone focused and I don't take it personally. It's not like the leader knows what I have in mind when I charge out to intimidate someone who is poking at us then jog back to the group.

One other thing I find interesting is that even though I play PVP 100% in Japanese in a datacentre without English-speaking servers, the things everyone says are quite similar (albeit without all of the personal attacks and accusations, from the sound of things - and I've never heard anyone so much as mention esoterics in the chat). "Don't chase", "Group up", "The next pop is up soon so spread out", "Defend this node"; it's all universal advice and very much appreciated in the chaos of battle. Nobody's forcing anyone to read it but I find that the more vocal and decisive the leader, the better everyone on the team plays.

Yes, what bothers me the most is when either too many tries to lead, or noone says anything. Even when more than 1 person is at the helm they tend to get agitated at each other.

I've never seen that line myself, but I've seen plenty of tanks marked with a 1 while there are healers nearby. It's somewhat excusable when they are battle high (although even then you've really got to take out the healers first), but I've even seen tanks marked who didn't have battle high/fever. What were they thinking?

When people say... "2nd place is better than nothing" no... no its not.. stop.
