And also Tens, you really underestimate the effectiveness of training sessions. Granted you don't learn EVERYTHING from them, but they give you a solid foundation.
I learned the foundation for some of my most effective desert station demo tactics from a heroic training session. I also learned the foundation for some of my most effective Korriban defense demo tactics from TD training sessions. Granted what they taught me I don't yews today anymore since they are quite outdated, they still gave me the concepts and FOUNDATION I needed to evolve my shit.
Enigma and Sakke both learned a bunch from us about rax jorising and sabering in training sessions.
OMNI, who was once one of the shittiest siegers I have ever seen (he refused to play anything but snowtrooper on hoth O), became a decent demo through TD training sessions.
You really do learn a lot from siege OUTSIDE of live games. I think you can learn more as far as your actual technique goes (it doesn't really matter if you know what to do if you can't do it properly) from just messing around on an empty server with a couple of guys than from pubbing or spectating.
