So unlike the many posts saying that it's OK to enter a 1v1 if you first ask your team mate (and he says OK), you are saying it is not OK (unless I guess if one also asks the con if it's OK and he also says yes, but this seems a bit cumbersome). Many have said it's OK if you ask first. But you say it's never OK, I guess. Unless the 1v1 is in a furball or perhaps close enough to the action or a furball. Judgement call on how close is close I guess. This seems a bit counter intuitive for the Main Arena, but I'll admit ignorance about this stuff. I would have thought helping a team mate in a 1v1 if he asks for help or agrees to the help when queried would be the expected behavior. He may be in trouble because he is in an inferior ride, for example.
No, you are wrong sir. What you are is not ignorant, unless you start believing this drivel. Yours are the words of common sense.
I don't deny there is some room for the "rhetorical honor" they are suggesting. For example. If you have had a good fight you may do the honorable thing and let your wounded or exhausted opponent live to return to base.
Here's a point to ponder. Many of these fellows are acquainted with the "best" sticks in the game. They have access to the "best" fights they will ever get at the mere request of a few fights in the DA. Do you see them do this? Hell yes they do. And what happens is they get their tulips handed to them repeatedly. Over and over and over and over again. Get my point? They are only happy if they can win.
But do you see the "best" sticks in the game in here complaining about being shot in 1v1s? No.
Bruv, Grizz, and a few others NEVER complain about these things. It most certainly will annoy anyone if they fail to survive this situation, but they have the reputations they have BECAUSE of their ability to WATCH THEIR SIX AT ALL TIMES. And when they spot someone breaking into their fight, that's when the 2v1 or 3v1 fights of a lifetime begin. They win multiple bandit fights on a regular basis because they developed the skills and the ATTITUDE necessary to do this.
You have a choice to make right now, you can accept the attitude these fella's tell you is fact, but by doing so you are engraining your psyche with a belief that there is no winning outside of a 1v1. It may not be a conscious belief, but it will be a pervasive fundamental that will dictate the limits of your performance forever.
Choose your attitude, and choose your limits. Honor past a certain point becomes melodrama.
