In Trickster events, we never even talk tactics or anything, we just tell jokes and the game plays itself. When we're kiting, we all join TS with a mic and actually discuss tactics like what waves to use the barrels on, what kiting path to use for different waves and much more.
People talk in Trickster events?? :o
I 100% agree that kiting takes far more teamwork and communication than cading does. Also agree with Sharma.. Many successful runs (most public runs) start as kite runs. I still disagree with designated kite servers though.. It takes away one benefit of kiting (starting runs) and enhances the problem a lot of people seem to have (kiting is too "exclusive").
The only problem I see with kiting is the people who demand in a rude way that people must leave "their" server and allow them to kite. However, I see no reason why the community as a whole should be punished for the behavior of select individuals. It's already very clearly stated in the rules that you can't demand others leave a server. If people are doing this get on IRC or Teamspeak and report them to an admin; we're more than happy to take care of these situations

I'm not sure there's any way to completely eliminate this type of behavior but making it so people can't kite really isn't the way to try. It's the same as being rude in the public in-game chat; people are going to do it and they will be dealt with. If the same actions taken with kiting were applied to the public chat then it would no longer exist due to some people being rude and abusing it (obviously just an example, not saying in-game chat should be removed).
