Why do CAS players so vocally oppose any suggestions

So what do you do you do if you see an enemy tank side on in the game and fear he may not have seen you? Ride up to it on a little pony carrying a white flag and announce your intention to fire on the fellow if he does not cease hostilities immediately?

Never heard such BS, you score points and get rewarded by killing the enemy it’s a game and the fact that it is slowly turning into a sport rather than any kind of history related game is the issue.How about we have have two teams red and blue and forget all other aspects? play the game on a football pitch.

I said that as a joke a few years ago and slowly it’s happening.

Yes, yes, we all stand in a line like the Victorian era and we don’t even move if we are gonna be shot, because it’s not “gentlemanly”

You’ve completely lost the plot. Taking advantage of the enemy’s lack of awareness to get kills is fine. That’s part of the game and well within the bounds of sportsmanship. Its akin to scoring an empty net goal because the goalie moved out of position.

What I am talking about is someone who, upon realizing a bomb has been dropped and will kill them, J’s out to deny the dropper of the bomb the kill. That is not sportsmanlike at all, its a petty exploit of the games mechanics. It’s as if you’re losing a tennis match and instead of accepting the loss you break your own racket and scream “YOU DIDNT WIN” at the opponent.

Nah it’s more like playing a tennis match and someone kicks a football at Mach 2 (CAS) onto your face because it’s “unfair” that you got points and they didn’t get any

If they had the ability to spawn CAS then they did get points.

I think you have with your Victorian etiquette : )

Gaijin set the rules of what is legal and what is not and that is it.You don’t need to add to them and if you do it’s for yourself only.
The game has changed a lot by people trying to play gate keeper.Many of those who J out are simply hitting the off switch in disgust,who knows when and if they will return.

Much could be done to ease the frustration and losing CAS is one of them.

You should know, then, that J’ing out to deny someone a kill is against the rules.

Not really, otherwise one would be punished for breaking the rules.

It is if you report it correctly as unsportsmanlike conduct using the Replay Report Function, which I did for the offending individual.

Sorry but You can’t ban someone because he left his vehicle.

You don’t know why he have done it

That’s up to the moderators to decide. Report the incident, explain the context, and leave it up to them. Simple.

If you saw the replay the reason for it is pretty obvious.

I needed to stop playing at exact moment because of reasons.

You can do it but it wont work unless there is exact text in game rules which specify one cannot J-out whenever one likes even to prevent from being killed.

The rules against unsportsmanlike are broad enough to allow moderators to interpret player behavior at their discretion.

Also I don’t think the anyone should be banned for breaking a rule one time unless its using cheating software. I just want the guy to get the on screen warning over it and hopefully make him think twice about doing it again because its wrong.

The unsportsmanlike rules are more of ethical guideline, those are not strict rules which gets you punished/banned.

Whatever the case the player in question violated them and deserves to be reprimanded for his actions.

But he wont. Punishment/ban is only and only for game breaking rules. Ethical rules are not bannable.

I don’t want him banned, I made that clear.

If you get reported for something like this then when you join the game you get a pop up window that tells you people have been reporting you for unsportsmanlike conduct.

That is the outcome I want for this individual. An on screen pop up telling him he’s done wrong.

Why are you defending him?

I am not defending him just saying nothing will happen. I play WT since closed beta and I have never heard someone got any reprimand because of braking ethical rule.

Well it does happen. I’ve seen it.
