as it was edited, you cant know.... BUT
I did explain that one of the fundamentals of the game is being there first, planting a tower first, capture first....
Speed is part of the day to day gameplay. So you cant blame anyone who thinks he is only being first to try secure a location.
And you used football as an analogy. You assertion is correct in that context and in that instance. But severely disingenuous.
Try any race.... How often have you see people be punished or recalled because of false starts.... They actually use gates to prevent this in some sports.
See its not the state of the environment that's an issue, as its the same for all players.
Its being first past the post that counts here.
Anyway, my point was either put up a gate.... or.... send a server wide PM. So all players are informed.
