The greedy and the lazy .. or maybe worse

a few minutes ago in the dyson groud battlezone:
we barely took half of the zones, i was running through the city, passing the t-rex spawnpoint and what did i see?
at least 6 (six!) players already sitting there and waiting fo the rex.
how antisocial has someone to be, to do that?
i would understand if there were only 1 or 2 zones to take.. maybe in a different part of the map, i do wait then too.
but planting their asses on the spawnpoint after only half of the work is done shows me the the game is full of (better not writing that here).
would love it if cryptic would do something about it, but unfortunatly it will never happen.

The players that bug me most in that zone are those that decide to show up when I've nearly done capturing a point solo so they can steal my command credits and bugger off again without even firing a shot.
Those are the lazy b*st*rds. At least those hanging around for dinos intend to actually fight dinos.
make it so the boss reward is proprtional to the number of pionts captured?
come on, that is crazy.

They have their fun, I have mine, and we both get rewarded.
okay these are botters one guy driving a pile of accounts. They are relying on "real live players" controlling only one avatar to take the zone for them. It happens a lot.
If you see a zone with botters like that just move to another one. They aren't all occupied by such groups but I gave some botters a lecture once and they called me a "whiner" because they were all sitting there while i was busy solo capturing zones all around them.
They are quite conscious of what they are doing and react when you call them out in zone chat (dont do it often I did it once because the pile at the rex was insane). They know what they are doing is wrong but they dont really care.
so basically if you run through the city zone (this is where the bulk of botters camp) rex place and see that .. leave the zone.
Just remember its not worth getting your knickers in a twist over such things these people know what they are doing is wrong and taking advantage, but they dont care about you or really what you think or how you feel so I would not bother caring much about them. These zones fail more often then not there days anyhow
Yeah this is annoying and happens to me often again they dont care so just carry on. One would think they could code a way to tie credits to the players who actually flipped the area but maybe not.
There is a reason my characters are set to anonymous and I refuse to group in such zones
Happened to me a few days ago when I returned there after not having been there for months, and I instantly got reminded why I decided to leave that place alone a few months ago.
And then there's of course the stupidity during the last phase. Running around like madmen instead of actually being useful at one big dino spawn point is the way to go, unfortunately.
Then again, if Cryptic changed this in some way, all those taggers probably would start screaming 'they're nerfing Dyson battlezone' 'Here I will draw the line, I'm quitting' and all that.
Best thing you could probably do is find a team that's large enough to fill almost an entire instance. That way only a few if any people will be able to free ride on your efforts.
You can not one shot tag anymore. Tagging now requires a good bit of damage.
However the system does still reward rex killers as you can capture no zones kill 2 and get the same reward as if you captured 10 zones. This should be changed to require the capture of 2 zones to get the final bonus reward.

i haven't done it my engineer yet. it may be that the engineer can hit and run fast but i've generally needed to be around for 50% of the health. others have managed to tag all 3 but I've got 2 each time.

it would be cool if they fixed the rex issue but considering how people got angry at this recent so called "nerf" I dont know if its worth their trouble to do it. It would be nice if they stopped the commission credit thing though and just awarded some with the marks and dilithium so that people would stop that running in and doing nothing and taking all the credits but then that also would be called a 'nerf' when most of the stuff done in dyson was just a fix to remove some of the issues of abuse.
There are still botters there but they just camp dino's now from what I can see.
+1 for this vote.
