I give 6 calls (I think I can be almost annoying in this regard) and appreciate them in return, but all this..."You didn't or you need too or Why didn't you or We must... stuff is getting old, especially on vox.
Sometimes you can't give a 6 because you are directly engaged and don't see the threat, or you give it to the wrong guy, or you assume it would be more distracting since the person is already manuvering against the threat, or there's 20 people around mixing it up and everyone is on everyone's 6. However, someone is having a bad day and get's killed and it's now all your fault.
likewise, I am more than willing to help someone in need of help, but when you see them dive down 5k of alt from safety into 10v1 odds -- well, for me it's a maybe, maybe not kind of thing. I don't like taking 10 minutes flying just to throw it away where my teammate should have know better in the first place. I suppose I could just get on vox, and tell the person how to fly and how not to fly, but that would hardly be an improvement.
It really irritates me when it's like 3 v5 (you being one of the five) and you're on one enemy, and you see someone else on 1, but you don't see the third enemy low on your 6 being chased by 3 friendlies that are clearly in a situation to see he's sneaking up on you. You assume, because no 6 call, that the other guys have him on the defensive, but no, they're using you as bait to get the easy fixated kill. It pisses me off, and I would like to rant. But, frankly it is just a reminder that you can get complacent assuming you'll always get a 6 call. As angry as I am, I know that all I had to do was a few more quick glances backwards and all would have been fine, but I took the luxury of assuming everyting was covered by strangers. They may be tools for setting me up
but at the end of the day SA is my responsibility.
