Speaking about the Potion of Heroism... Somebody hate the fact that you have to equip it to use?, I use Coin and Pet so in the 3rd slot I have to put the healing potion for PvP/PvE, and when I want to use PoH I:
Equip them -> Use -> Unequip Them -> Equip healing potion for PvP/PvE...
If they could be used from the inventory (without equipping them) it would be great
Yeah, that's not very convenient.
For now, just double click PoH in the inventory and it will switch with the healing potions in your item slot. After drinking PoH, double click the healing potions in the inventory to switch the two stacks of potions back to their original slots.
Pay attention to the icons for all 3 points and learn how fast they flip with 1, 2 or 3 people standing on them and you will have a pretty good idea of where everyone on the enemy team is at all times. Also pay attention to where your teamates are by watching their floaty names and watch their health bars to determine when they are being attacked and if they need help. Do not waste time riding to "help" a teamate capture a point if they are not being attacked. Use the map and the multiple paths to your advantage. Don't become overly focused on a single point or enemy, try and visualize the entire map and the position of everyone on it and create mismatches or stall multiple enemies between points.
As for potions and elixers, use them all you want, the stat boost isn't that significant, if it gives you a psychological boost then go right ahead, but you're still going to die.
My secret?.. I have no secret. I'm pretty straightforward
Spawn -> Mount up -> Rush to their base and contest their node for the rest of the game since I'm perma stealth...
If too many people (4-5) come. Then I can just slip away and sneak past them and escape. Aka even more points for our team since the two others nodes are ours now.
Highest level pvp can make these rules for themselves. Most of us will never even see them. Highest level pvp players should not be bithcing about pugs using potions. They dont matter to them anyway.

I actually don't use anything in PVP. Prior to the tenacity gear I actually did very well never using pots of any kind, I had blue enchants only (rank 6) and didn't have but lesser weapon and armor ones. I did well enough, took a great deal of pride that I could hold my own against people with higher level enchants and pot drinkers. However now with tenacity and the probability of people really chuggin pots of various types and what seems to be a never ending stream of PVP players with perfect armor/weapon enchants and what seems to be rank 9 and 10 enchants, I pretty much can't do anything to those players. I have unloaded dailys and all encounters into just about every class out there in pvp and I have seen me do next to 0 damage. I could chalk that up to some power the other player had used but i've seen it happen to every person on a team even if I sit back watch another teammate attack for a few seconds to wait for anything to go on CD and still I can unload and just not do hardly anything to the other person. Its a sad day when your crit is 100 - 300 damage and the opposing guy is hitting you for 1000 - 3000+.

Play an OP class and run with really strong guildies.
My 15.8 GWF uses Wild Storm most of the time and I win PVP matches most of time. I've never gotten any comments from players about it, I guess that's due to them being too busy trying to survive my 10k Takedowns and 20K IBStrikes. In the game, just like in real life there is only one thing you need to focus on and that is what you can do. No point focusing on what others do 'cause you dont control others - you're in charge of yourself. And what is that PVP community you speak of, you got an HQ where you hang out for tea and cookies and war stories ?
(1) Assume you are the only person that could hard-carry the entire band of newbies to at least a closely matched fight
(2) Assume your team is probably going to lose
(3) Assume some clueless idiot is going to say some clueless idiot thing which will annoy you to hell's corridor and back
(4) Assume your team is going to do everything opposite to the standard PvP tactic you've just explained
(5) Assume every CW in your team will CC all the wrong targets
(6) Assume every HR in your team will be running backwards 100' when something even stares at him
(7) Assume every DC in your team is a useless free-kill for the enemy
(8) Assume every GWF in your team is a useless destroyer build made out of tofu
(9) Assume every GF in your team lunges blindly at anything they see like a butt-spanked hog
(10) Assume every TR in your team will only kill 1 enemy every 5 minutes, when their AP is full
... and then;
(11) Assume the opponent's team will be the exact opposite of points (1)~(10)
With these assumptions, you know your fragile sanity is protected from the weird, twilight zone of PuG pvp where the meaning of time, space, and logic do not apply.
Stop making excuses. Be a man. If you know something to be broken, stop using it. Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

My tip of the day? Don't blow 19k glory by accidentally clicking on the wrong piece of Profound gear.:mad:
So that's why you were mad at me I knew something was down.

If im by myself and am pugging:
Go Base Node and watch your PUG mates:
If theyre conquering the Base ...
ok go help them and kill everyone that comes close...
contest 2 and enemy base.
If theyre losing, get crushed or are clueless
get to Higher Ground and watch em die lol...
kill every enemy that's got careless and away from their team.
Try to enjoy your losing game killing all the spread and squishyes.

So it's a financial decision and not a moral one?
The other person (prone?) made it sound moral.
So, if some are richer than you, why be all down on them for how they choose to spend their money?
Sounds like potion users make it more thrilling for you, giving you someone to hunt...you should be thanking them for making the game funner for you!
As for my secret:
My secret would cease being a secret if i shared it
