    Please let us shoot THRU our teammates

    This has been a running issue for me lately. My teammates sometimes like to jump in front of my shots, or position their whole bodies in front of targets that everyone in the group need to fire on. Once this happens, all you're doing is wasting ammo. I've also noticed that it will do this even when they are close to you, but the visual look of the gun shows it shouldn't be hitting them.

    Please let us fire through our teammates...especially during incursions...

    Wouldn't mind that ... seems that people love to take the line of sight that is right in front of you ... weren't you just across the street but are now walking in a straight line in front of me? lol

    I have no proof but it seems to me that sometimes you wont hit the target if a teammate stands in a way that your scope is blocked ... not your weapon, but just the scope.

    It would be nice, but an unnecessary convenience. There are already enough realism concessions. Just tell your buddy to get out of the way and be glad your stray bullets don't kill him.

    This would cause a bigger issue than there already is with rogues hiding behind non-rogue group members. They would not only use non-rogue status group members as shields, but also shoot you through them (which would then get their group members rogue, yes, but by then you'd be on the ground). They really need to have proximity of a rogue group member auto-rogue status you to prevent this from being an issue.

    Tell your teammates to stop being bad. Then position yourself so your teammates won't be between you and the enemy instead of blindly firing at your teammate. Wasting ammo? You know you can take your finger off the trigger lol. If this was real, they would be dead. Be glad the game doesn't have friendly fire! The game requires strategy.

    how? since there are no regional serves, most of the time in groups no one speaks the same language.

    Part of the game mechanic is getting the best angles on your targets. If your teammates are blocking you, you need better communication.

    No shooting through your teammates...NPC's can't shoot through your teammates to get at you either.

    If I could shoot through teammates, I'd just have 2 guys w/high SP hold Ballistic shields out single file, and the rest of us just let loose an endless stream of lead.
