Read my posts again. That right there is the inherrent problem. You think you're winning. No reason not to, you were taught that's the way to play.
Now sit back and think about it objectively for a second.
High-alt, pinpoint bombing just means you know where the calibrate screen is, and have a sense of timing marginally better than Steve Martin in The Jerk. Great learning experience. Honestly, I'm confident a monkey could be trained to do high alt bombing in AH. It used to be a bit trickier, but HT neutered even that. As long as your true speed matches your calibrated speed, you can't possibly miss.
Why do the people way higher than you kill you instantly? Because you've never been taught how to beat them. You've never even been taught that you CAN beat them. They've done you a disservice, but it doesn't matter, because you won't believe me anyways. The fact is, people that are way, way higher than you suck 75% of the time. Neither alt, nor bundles of E, are required to beat them... just a few furballs in the TA with quality instructors to teach you a trick or 2. One hour of real fighter practice with a quality instructor will reward you every second of time you spend in any arena after that. Not only will it reward you with a better experience in the arenas, it also will reward your opponents with a tougher fight.
I had more to write but I'm busy as hell today
Here's a summary though... people say they wanna landgrab. That's cool... but every reset your work is flushed down the toilet for an amount of perks you can earn in an hour without even a vulch. People also they just wanna logon and have fun with their friends. That's great, it really is. However, in the thousands of hours I've put into this game... not once ever did my VOX stop working because I chose to turn with a guy instead of let 5 of us BnZ him to death. I still talk to my squaddies and have fun with them, the only difference is I fight differently now, nothing else has changed.
