I've seen it happen in WoW before. I haven't played too many MMOs as I'm not a pro gamer, but not everyone who is a pvp'er is a total dick. Man I'm not raging at anything. You're generalizing in thinking that all pvp players are jerks. They're not. yeah, they're competitive and like to talk smack . I'm not saying that people shouldn't attack others or expect to be ganked if they go into a pvp zone. but if someone asks to be left to just badge or farm or grab a temp, where's the harm in it? or are you one of those types that just loves to stomp people who don't fight back? where's the challenge in that?

yeah thanks for reinforcing the point that there's a couple of bad actors making the whole community look bad. I guess those badge hunters are a real match for those l33t pvp skillz of yours that you can't leave them alone for 30 seconds

Right on. this is what I was trying to say and I guess I could have been better at expressing it. Self flagging isn't needed if people can learn to be courteous and respectful of others.

Yeah I know dude. thanks tho

Man you're still not getting it. We all know what the zone is for. the zone is for PVP we get it. That's not a free license to treat others like crap because you can. People go in there to work on badges or get temps for stuff. Sure you can attack them if you want, but if they send a tell saying "hey I'm just here to grab a temp for a TF later, mind cutting me a break?" or something doesn't mean you should be a dick about it and ruin their fun. It's called treating other gamers with a little respect and keeping in mind not everyone enjoys the same things you do. Go and find someone else who is interested in engaging you and the experience is that much better for you both. LOL! that's so has nothing to do with what I'm saying man. has nothing to do with adapting, it's called treating a fellow player and human being with some courtesy. yeah that's like totally false dude in most cases. There are a couple of real pricks though who give everyone who likes PVP a bad rep. yeah we all know about the history of it. what I'm saying is PVP is what it is now and more people could engage in it and tehre's those out there who are interested in learning about it, but the couple of pricks out there leave them with a bad experience so they give up.

Yeah man reality is there's decent players who are respectful of others in all kinds of PVP games.

yeah it's called not being an ass dude. There's a lot of people out there who will respect others who'd prefer to be left alone when badging or hunting temps. It's what decent humans do. Try it sometime.

where's the risk in fighting someone who isn't going to fight back? there's none. trading kills is not much different than dual boxing for arena badges. the end results the same. people wanted to bring up the whole "risk involved" with getting PVP badges. for a lot of them like all the arena badges there's no risk involved.

yeah trading kills isn't PVP man. not even close. it's about the same thing as walking into a PVE map and pressing an I WIN button clearing the whole map in 1 shot. there's no risk involved.

Yeah see here's where you're wrong man. Going into a PVP zone isn't a license to be a complete douchebag and treat other players like shit or to be treated without respect. There's no harm in backing off another player if they're badging or getting temps after they've asked nicely to be left alone. It's called common human courtesy and just like people don't like to be harassed by the slap emote used on their toons ass, people don't like having to deal with douches killing them when they're just badging. I do this all the time in RV man. someone asks to be left alone I'll leave them alone or even offer to help them for a bit. Most of the PVP people I see in zone are the same, but there are a few complete assholes who get off on griefing others who pose no challenge to them. they know they're pissing off people and they're doing it just to piss them off. Has nothing to do with competition or skill. Yeah and ask yourself why those zones are dead. You can thank the handful of asshats who ruin it for everyone else. it's a shame too because those zones can be fun. see this is a great point. People just love to brag about their epeen and how easy the game is and PVP is the only real challenge. but then they'll just gank people who have zero interest in it and that's somehow equated to "skill".

You folks mind taking your bickering to PMs so this fun thread can stay open? please? thanks

I find people who quote themselves annoying.

well good news according to what we learned here it's perfectly legit to report them for harassment. what a world we live in.

turn on the teleport prompt.

I'm putting you on ignore for that!

Well based in the definition we're given here, seems like it's legit to report it as harassment in PvP zones too. there's badge stuff to do in there and people shouldn't be attacking others if they ask them to stop.

Hey this is good to know. Now I can report all the people in PvP zones for attacking me when I asked them to stop interacting with me! cool!

Yeah see, no holes here. if you read what I wrote, you'd see I said report people for typing crude shit or racial obscenities. just using a slap emote? not so much. nice try though.

No it's not dude but if you want to think that, go ahead. sexual harassment shouldn't be tolerated in real life. it shouldn't be tolerated on social media when it's used to bully someone. taking someone using a slap emote on your virtual character as sexual harassment seems a big stretch to me. feel free to disagree.

oh good grief. that isn't what I said. not even remotely.

I'd rather pay what the market price is now instead of 10k

Yeah you don't need to be in combat dude. people can hit you with buffs that make you convulse or puke outside of combat. Really if it has to be explained to you how someone using an emote in a virtual game world where people are throwing fireballs and shooting laser beams from their eyes isn't the reality, I don't think you will understand. Some douche typing racial obscenities or other crap should get reported. Reporting someone for using a slap emote and trying to equate that with real life harassment? Come on. step away from the keyboard for a while and go spend some time in the real world.

no dude that isn't what I did at all. nice try though. using an emote on someone in the game isn't the same as real life.

Yeah we're not in the real world in game man so trying to equate it to real life is just silly. People can buff you with electricity and give you convulsions or make your toon puke without your consent in game too should that get reported?

I sort of agree. See I kind of think politics should be left to the real world and doesn't really belong in game because it just turns into flame wars. it gets old after a while and people are just arguing opinions. Most folk can't have a rational debate anyway. I get that some people want to talk about it though so I'll just turn off that chat channel or put them on ignore. I don't need a GM to do it for me. as for the reporting people over the slapping emote thing, good grief people. step away from the computer and get out into the real world.
