Actually, you do not have the right to judge who has it the wrong way.

both points of view can be valid according to who looks at them, so not one of them is right or wrong.

I would rather not loose everything, because of a slight miscalculation or worse the all to frequent lag (cool my shields are still 30% oh wait my hull is 50% now), its a game mechanic I accepted as part of the game but nothing I like about it that and the clone system.

What I would like to see is how many players have quitted after suffering a disastrous loss either an "irrecoverable" loss at a battle or some other unfortunate situation.
