Why is Camping Bad

The_Chieftain: I would personally make two observations.    The first is that if you're sitting around waiting for someone to come into your sights, your effective DPM is 0hp/min. Now, if you have strong grounds to believe that something will appear to shoot at in the immediate future (eg you're a TD in the SW corner of Fiery Salient and there are some mediums or lights pushing ahead of you), then fine, but if, as I've seen so many times, a group of TDs are sitting there, waiting for half the game, they may as well not be in the game at all. I'm not saying charge forward, necessarily, but at least move to where there is a known or proximate active fight.   The other observation I have is that the team with the initiative is usually the one with the advantage. Ever notice how the best players seem to gravitate towards mediums? They are the ones dictating the pace and location of the fight, and the team on the receiving end of the medium attack is on the back foot, reacting. They're no longer trying to win, but trying to avoid losing.    Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with a goalkeeper or a second line of defense, but those roles need not take you far out of the fight. Every vehicle in the game has tracks, even artillery. They should be used.
