what I see alot, because I like to drag folks for a 1 vs 1, or engage in 1 vs 1 dogfights.....is a con that looks at the dar, sees a single enemy and a single con fighting, and flies in that direction....two things a clear by this action...
1. (giving the fella the benefit of the doubt)he says, "maybe the friendly needs help?" OK, I can handle that, fair enough.
2. Now, the fella makes it there and sees the friendly with the advantage, and handling the enemy easily.....(if he still attacks...without asking the friendly if he needs help, he is exhibiting bad gameplay...IMHO), if he asked the friendly, and the friendly says, "sure go ahead and make an attempt to interrupt my fight and steal my kill"....then that is fine(I doubt that will happen, but we are giving the situation the benefit of the doubt)
3. Now, where I find bad gameplay evident, is when the 3rd, and 4th, and 5th fella fly over there....there is no excuse for it...it is milking the community, selfishly, for ...I guess score?....kills?...grief?....what could possibly be good for going to a fight where one enemy already has 2 or 3 on him...I mean what are you going to do?...get the kill?...at the expense of someone who was already there working for the kill?...grief the friendly that has spent time on the enemy, and you show up 4th man in and "steal" the kill? It just makes no sense to me....and often, I find "vets", or folks who have played a couple of years doing this....it is bad gameplay IMHO.
4. If me posting this changes even one person to re-evaluate these types of situations, and causes them to "ask" the friendly first...and honor his request, then (the time it took to type this post)...was spent wisely.
