you will be wasting energy that could be used for abilities. Every second that goes by with your energy at cap is 10 energy that will not be used for damage.

You're not making full use of your resources!
P.S. Captcha check needs to die for users with over 1000 posts.

PvP is a different story, many time you want to pool energy till cap for the biggest burst possible.
in PvE you have a streamlined fight which is long like 5 minutes, and every second you are not using energy you are losing potential dps.
I love this example for assassination, which shows well what are the consequences for energy capping (math has been done, just accept the numbers):
- dps loss for clipping envenoms: around 1k
- dps loss for snd downtime: around 3k
- dps loss for energy capping: around 9k.

But at PvP it's a whole different thing. There are times when you need to cap energy.
i.e. As a subtlety rogue I always cap energy before use
to use as many
Ambush
es as I can.
Getting as much energy as possible just before using some ability is called Pooling. Capping is letting it stay at Max for stupid amounts of time (i.e. more than 1 sec)

I suscribed for a year. Didn't decide to re-sub.
And then KidB copied me.

I was subbed for even shorter, maybe 3 months. I decided that if I could have managed 2.8k posts without the captcha, I'll manage more. It was a bit pricy for me to pay just for that single benefit. Also, recaptcha trolling is probably the only thing that keeps me going these days.
Edit: also, we need an OT thread for this forum, like the guys at UI&M have. Randomness is a shithole.

That is a good idea, I will try to contact one of the mods. In fact, if we get an off-topic thread, I will re-suscribe to Premium in return.
Any suggestions for a name?

Shall we call it something Warcraft-related?
Deathstalkers
SI:7.
Or something more primitive, like Stealth Club.
