it seems to me that there is alot of dps too scared to attack other players in pvp, for example: in seal rock yesterday we were defending our monolith and maelstrom came on the offensive. okay everyone defend....erm no apparently not. instead me(sch) 1 pld(our only tank) n 1 nin were just abandoned as our whm 2 mnk 1 drg and another nin ran for the hills. the pld got stuck in ill give him his dues n the ninja killed maelstroms only healer(ast) but by this point im left trying to heal my 2 comerades against an onslaught of balanced up smns n wars(needless to say we died).
this is just 1 of 100 examples im seeing more and more of, fellow team mates running from the fray and ultimately the win due to what i can only assume is that they are scared of their dps output not been enough or they are simply pacifists.
anyone else having these issues? or can anyone shed some light on this? should SE impliment a penalty for players who are chicken as all they accomplish is lowering our score?
