    This is completely unacceptable and makes running frontlines absolutely impossible.
    By "bots" you mean those eggheads that throw matches the moment they see their team lags behind?

    In you screenshot, there seems to be no flames on the big ice. Had they tried they could have salvaged a 2nd place.

    But hey, I don't pay their subs.

    Why salvage a second place when you get the same xp as if you got last?

    Better to just let Maelstrom win and move onto the next match.

    Why try when the only thing you get more for second place is worthless pvp xp and wolf marks for only so-so glamour gear?

    And? When your team is so far behind thats its irrecoverable then 2nd place and 3rd place have no distinction between them.

    You are just trying to draw the match out instead of moving on to the next one you may hopefully win and not get shafted on xp.

    I see it now, the exp isn't it? If that's the mentality, I have to be frank and say that I don't want people like these in PvP, even if it costs us queue time.

    I play PvP to WIN. I play to crush my enemy...or at the very least, lose to as few of them as possible. The win, the high placement, the spectacular plays, etc, themselves are rewards.

    You are exactly right, "worthless pvp xp and wolf marks": these matter little to me, to many of us who take PvP seriously (heck, wolf marks are capped so often that I constantly have to buy something). But why do we try you ask? Because PvP is not PvP anymore if you don't gun to be as good as possible.
