There is simply tactics. Not everyone shares your objective. Likewise, they won't share your tactics.
Don't expect for a moment that you can prove your manhood in the arena.
It's a video game. Nothing more.
There is no fear ? ... I beg to differ. If there was NO FEAR, then why the heck not turn around and engage .... instead of escaping to the nearest field or pack of friendlies ? ... cause they fear dieing a virtual death ... they fear the possibility of someone calling them a "newb" on CH 200 ... etc.
If this is JUST a game, then they need to treat it as such ... grow a cheekbones and mix it up ... nothing lost ... nothing gained if you win or lose. It's really not that hard of a concept.
What's up with the bravery, heros, eithcs ? ... no one is discussing that ... we are talking about RUNNERS !!! Next think ya know, you'll start talkin' politics and world affairs.
