Far too often at Iron-Gold do I see players not want to push on to site or swing together. Whoever is in front at the point of entry refuses to go in because their teammate is behind them and they just say "stop baiting me!". I notice this is definitely the case if no one has mics in so they take the most negative perspective of the situation, you don't have the coms to say "let's swing this together" so the player behind without a mic is basically going to try to trade you out the best way the know how. You also have many players that don't understand the concept of trading, I myself have said "Trade me out" and after I die nothing happens and a player will respond with "what does that mean"?
So for the sake of discussion from both a high level and low-level point of view high-level and low-level players please explain in your mind the difference between baiting and trading. Is bating forgivable if they kill the person that killed you? Conceptually is it just the principle of the fact that you have to die first that bothers you when it's time to trade? Is it less of an issue when personal stats have no outcome on your ranking and Wins/Loss is all that matters?
