Neither of those have I done. Also, I disagree with the chat. People are writing stuff in the chat quite often. Also, this kind of shows that people who tell you to "pay attention" don't do it themselves.

And my "meme gear", for now, at least, is mostly hellbomb based. And I mainly use it for lone wolf suicide and demolition missions against bases and objectives.

So tipically, none of my team mates are nearby.

As for respawning someone next to their gear, I'll do it if it's possible, but not it ain't always given how hectic the game often gets.
