Oh so you make snap judgement decisions on people before the game even STARTS. Yeah, sorry. But this is what dishonor is meant to prevent.

Er, no, dishonor is meant to prevent people from leaving early. People can make judgments about noobs whenever they see one.

Yep. And just imagine teams /resigning out everytime they saw a random group, meaning things like not sharing guild tags, not having a monk, etc. It would be exactly like RA was.

There is nothing wrong with making a few judgements before the match. After all: Failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

There are actually two key moments where I judge the teams:

Firstly is before the match starts. Not only to I pay attention to whether they have the ability to organise or not, but also I try to make assumptions based on the professions and secondary professions used by the others. For example I assume monks, warriors, rangers without a secondary profession to be bad, since they are clearly not using the brilliant utility options those professions get. (Mend touch, shock, defence skills for monks)

The second place where I make judgements come early on in a match. There are certain bad movements that I try to spot which indicate that losing is likely. I will not go into detail.

Who ever said that we leave/resign instantly when we see sub optimal teammates? I try my best to put up with it. Though as a precaution I never play on maps that give my side an advantage (Grenz etc).

lol.

1. I never said I resigned out each time i saw random groups. I hardly resign for that reason. (I know you didn't acuse me of it but I'm just gonna reply to it.)
2. When you see 3 warriors and a ranger on one team, which could sure be like RA, in an AB where you're ABLE to pick a team before entering mission it just leaves a second opinion of their chances.

I just play, its fun. You might be taking your AB a little too seriously.

Huh? You're definitely taking it too seriously.

There's no reason to take this arena any less seriously than TA/HA, some people enjoy using advanced tactics, team builds, and doing the absolutely best they can.
Let them I say =)

Overrated statement. By same logic I can argue that you are taking GW too seriously or that you taking your whole life too seriously.
Yet most people do game seriously. Because most people like to win, and winning is the key part of having fun.
On the flip side of that is you. And if you are trying to have fun but not bothering to put effort in winning, then the problem is clearly in you, and not those "other stupid people" who judge you. You the one making game not fun for people who put whatever little effort they can into winning, and then spread hypocrisy about them ruining your game by leaving early.
No, I am sorry, you cannot be further from the truth.
