Carebears actually get upset if you kill them before they tag the boss. This was someone in tells, usually people in /say and /yell get really upset as well.

Lovely conquest design.

I don't think it is a carebear thing but rather something Trion created. Since you can't move the mob anymore into the towers anymore some figured Trion has said it is their "right" to tag the mob even if they are on the losing side. That change is really the only recent change I see as negative to conquest. You should still be able to move that mob into a more defensible position. To the victor go the spoils and all that.

People getting upset about dying is, especially in this game where this is piratically zero consequences.

The thing is before people got cranky but accepted it. The minute Trion planted the mob in the open field however people assume now that everyone has a right to the mob. Before it was, unless they were stupid, the victor's mob. Pull it to where you can defend it, keep CM port, and attrition eliminated zergers trying to get to the mob. Trion doing what they did essentially told people "don't worry everyone has the right to get their 10 marks" and when this happened the attitude changed. If Trion left well enough alone you likely would not have gotten the tell.

I can sympathize but only because conquest is so freaking bad that I just want to get my marks and never go there again. I'm sure it wasn't a one vs one too. If my experience serves as soon as you hit him, 4 other zerglings went "oh hey we're attacking" and targeted him too.
