Nope, just one objective to the battle mode. Kill enemies, or put up flags. That's it.
Presumably you have fun playing video games you choose to play, or you wouldn't be playing them. That doesn't change the objective of battle or siege.
No amount of pandering to leechers or carebears will change the objective of the battle or siege modes of game play.
It sounds like they are bored as fuck with the game if they're using torches, and should step outside for some fresh air. I know a lot of people find my opinion unpopular, but that's because I imagine most of the "competitive" types (like myself) aren't sperging on the forums, they just play the game.
I'm not angry or upset or have any change in my emotional state if people choose to be lamers, that's their choice. I'm just stating my opinion about their choice, it just happens to be in the most abrasive way possible to express that opinion. That's how I amuse myself at work.
