my first point does not seem to be clear to you -.-
its about not attacking people that aren't in game yet, no matter why. I did not attack motionless people at spawn. I do however, often pass the spawn, without attacking afks there though.
if they are on their way however, its of course up to them and their awareness.
dont see a contradiction.
Well, there's a thin line there. So you do think it's okay to just rush spawn straight away and kill the ones that move? It's not against the server rules, that is true but I think that is what the majority of people are complaining about. Spawnraping in general, not just killing afk's. And I understand that infantry hates it. You spawn a bit late(maybe because of a shit pc or downloading the map, or even just because you were taking a poop) and you are surrounded by cav. But the person has moved; so for you, Torben, it would be fine to kill them because he moved. (Spawning late is not always the person's foult) However it is indeed the person's foult if they are unaware when spawning and running towards the main fight. It's a difficult thing to adress and I applaud you for trying to improve cav's reputation. If I happen to ride past enemy spawn at 6.10 and I see for example tin can Vincent_Ruth just spawning with his flamberge running unaware towards the infantry fight, then yeah I'm also like fuck I could just couch him and help my team a whole lot because he can kill a lot of my teammates. It's like the damn scene in Saving Private Ryan where they let the German go and later he pops up again to kill them. These days I like to stay around my team's spawn and defend late spawners. Cav do not expect much resistance at the enemy spawn. So that's fun.
But yeah if you really want to improve cav reputation then I think spawnraping is the thing you should get at. Because thats what people are whining about. I try to tell my clanmates that spawnraping does not make you a good horseman for it takes minimal skill. Because you know people will be unaware and surrounded. But if my clanmates still decide to spawnrape then who am I to forbid them?
The only solution I can think of to stop spawnraping is making everybody invulnerable for the first minute of a round, except for horses. But that would also bring problems and weird situations.
Or infantry could stop complaining, be more aware and otherwise take it like a man, that would be fine aswell
