Yeah, I mostly rush to the ranged bots if the team is rushing with me. Otherwise I will just go suicide.
So "Active" leeching is so optional. If you can say that "We,admins, can see the difference" then it is OK.
Thanks for mentioning Leeching problem though.
Hello Poer,
I agree with your statement. And if you are doing your part when it is appropriate to do so, then you are not actively leeching and this is not directed toward you or others who do the same. I recognize that the Infantry do not go charge the ranged waves until they are thinned out a bit by our own ranged. This is not "active leeching" as you state but simply non-suicidal gameplay.
Thank you,
Spirit
p.s. I have to admit that I do sometime get overzealous in my role of "protecting the flock" as an RG. It is my role to take the brunt of the sword and spear when infantry charge and to divert the ranged from our peeker so they are less vulnerable. I sometimes charge too early on a range wave (snipers/ballistamen) or allow a bot to get behind me and die... allowing me the chance to observe this phenomena.

Adding to this answer, you have to take into account the player's ping (I play some CN server, and I can say you will rarely see me with a lot of kill), and the area the players choose to cade, as an example fortress outskirts I think it is, where player decide to cade even more in the rear where it let other a limited amount of spot to peek and kill bots.
Hello Poxix,
Yes, I also play on the CN servers and the ping is an issue. However, I do also see people with 400+ ping (kudos Stephany) be successful archers. I would not expect them to be top kills, but they are at least putting out the effort and doing the best they can given their situation. This post is also not directed at any such player... as long as they are putting out the effort. Just as the rules mention not using low level gear as an excuse not to try, having high ping is also not an excuse not to try. All that is asked is that you try rather than do nothing.
Thank you,
Spirit
