Do you gank?Follow

Mind if I swipe that for a sig?

So, AureliusSir is just a ******?

Nothing new to see here. Move along.

Punching someone in the face is wrong...but not in the context of a boxing match.

All PVP is consentual. We gave consent by rolling on a PVP server/being flagged.

The context is about a certain actions in a videogame, an action to which the game developers has given the thumbs up when conducted on the proper server.

I understand the context.

Do you?



Maturity?

Please. You've insulted me. You've used swear words. You've twisted the facts. You're acting in every way like a angered 3rd grader.

And you're blowing out a very simple aspect of a game between two consensual players into some kind of morality issue, all in an attempt to make your extremist, almost zealot-like point of view, sound reasonable.

Were this a monitored debate, you'd have been kicked out a long time ago.

Maturity indeed.

As for your actual point here - I do not consider ganking fine because Blizzard tell me it is (even if they do), but it does make me smile that they agree with me on this issue.



When you modify a quote to make it say what you want to say, you might want to be a bit more clever then simply ignoring the word right in front of it.

Considered. If they had wanted to say they thought it was dishonorable, they would have flat out said it... this implies they say it's considered by some, but not by them. Do note the "" on dishonorable, which put in further question that action is actually even seen as dishonorable in itself. Followed right away by saying that they are legimitmage pvp tactic.

It's actually pretty clear.

Please, grow the **** up, realize you rolled on a PvP server, and do everyone a favor and roll on a PvE server you ******* carebear.

Am I the only one who wishes they could occasionally rate up admins?

I never found it fair play to gank. I usually give the other person a chance to get there selves situated. I don't believe ganking shows skill. Wow you got from behind I had half health you must feel great about your self. I want a fair fight. I know its not always possible in MMO but not ganking and winning shows you have more skill. The best is when someone ganks you and you still come out on top thats my fav . . . makes them go WTF just happened he/she had like no health... any way I'm done rambling. Later.

The amusing thing is that Aurelius' English isn't actually very good at all, and he's stupid as hell on that. Irony strikes again!

I've actually explained why it's ok without mentioning Blizzard at all, but I suppose you decided to skip that. It doesn't fit with your battle horse after all.

Do you consider killing someone in a Battlefield game dishonorable? It's totally alien to me that you could consider a player killing another on a server that was designed for that very purpose to be 'a **** move' or whatever else you want to call it. Both participants are willing.

I get that you don't like it. You're obviously butthurt about it. But to project all that venom on people who have fun with it is extremely petty. As I've mentionned before, why so much insecurity?



I love how you're still conveniently ignoring the quotation marks around the word dishonorable, which used in this way is meant to convey irony. Yet you still go on about my lack of reading comprehension.



So you're a liar. I suppose that's another facet of your maturity, right?

When I play on a PvP server, I'm all for ganking. Now, I'm usually nice and won't attack someone that's more than a few levels lower than me...there's no challenge. I usually aim for equal levels or a few levels higher (I played a rogue, so this was generally a lot easier than with, say, a clothie). I also take a 70 ganking me in stride. I'll usually /salute them as they approach me in the hopes that they'll spare me, but it's part of the game and I understand. A /salute usually gets them to at least let me finish off the mob I'm killing. (Corpse camping, on the other hand, is considered griefing, and often warrants a report if it continues).

I suppose it's a little easier for a rogue, but I enjoy avoiding high level folks. I once spent 10 minutes running circles around a giant tree in STV avoiding a high level paladin until he got tired and left me alone.

I think my favorite moment was leveling in STV on my 32 Orc Rogue. I had earlier seen a 40-something druid, /saluted him, and he saluted back and let me be. I was then killing a panther when I saw another NE druid approach. I thought it was him at first and so did nothing, only to realize a second later that this druid was a few levels lower (than the other druid, still a few levels higher than me). He shifts to cat and comes up behind me and starts beating me down. At this point, I get an idea...a naughty idea. A terribly awful and naughty idea. I quickly hobble over and grab 2 more panthers that were nearby and then vanish. Catboy can't see me anymore, but the panthers can see him. They're low enough level that he is able to dispatch two of them with ease. As he gets the last one to about 1/2 health, I walk behind him, pop a potion, and start wailing on him. He finishes off the panther, shifts out of cat, rejuvs, tries to regrowth, gets kicked, turns toward me, gets gouged, and then dispatched. It sounds simple, but it actually took all of my concentration and a lot of lucky quick thinking to pull it off. It was epic. My adrenaline was pumping the whole time, and I had a blast. I ran into him again later while he was fighting a mob, did a /salute, got a /rude in reply. I left him alone anyway. Then a 70 troll rode by, dismounted, shot him, and mounted back up. Maybe it was karma.

I've lately been on an RP server and it just feels wrong. I moved there to play with a friend, giving up both PvP *and* horde, and I'm quite tempted to go roll a new Orc Rogue on a pvp server again.

Red=Dead or I'd roll PVE.

There are peeps on my server who gank pretty much full time. Most of the time I've got two hours or less to play, so burning that time on world PVP is not what I'm interested in.

Only griping I hear lately is directed at a few players who run around with an opposite faction priest. The priest will MC someone and the other two will kill them or make them take durability. My guess is they used the tactic to get back at someone they didn't like once and now they do it because it's fun.

Don't know if it's this way on every PVP server, but on mine it's pretty much an ongoing contest to see who can make who QQ the loudest. Anyone who cries about it gets made fun of by both sides.

Not what I do with my time but I'm not judging anyone else that does. After all, you can transfer from PVP-->PVE server if you're getting bent about it.

It's like everything - it's better in moderation.

I gank when I see someone lower level and I just happen to be there. I gank when I'm bored and I'm farming on the Isle and I think a bit of pvp will spice things up (this happens a lot. dailies are boring, what can I say). I'll sometimes get a few guildies and go hit Grom'gol or what not and decimate it and get in fight with the Horde when they show up.

But spending a few hours running around looking for people to gank? It gets boring pretty quick, especially if the cavalry doesn't show up. Then it just become pointless on top of boring.

So no, I don't 'get' people who do it non-stop. But I don't judge them either. Some people don't understand why I log on every other night to fight the sames bosses over and over again either. They're on the proper place to do it, so I don't see any harm in it.
