Chiricahua Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It didn't use to be that way. I don't remember that many players in WoW forums getting upset. I've yet to see one tea bagging incident in over 200 warzones, yet it happened all the time in SWG. Players just laughed it off. It was all part of great fun. Now players act like they want to appeal their defeats to the Supreme Court of PVP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alchropie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The only thing I can't stand is people not letting a 1v1 finish till the end. RESPECT THE PVP PPL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usagnnor Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Eh there were plenty of people who get butthurt in wow. There's always somebody in the raid chat telling everyone how bad they are etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apim Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 i landed on a ignore list by a fellow player because i beat him twice in a 1vs1... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealAeiouy Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It is weird. Scared of losing, scared of dying. I think it is a pve mindset where you die/lose .008% of the time. I am amazed how many people are afraid to die in pvp. I have seen people run so far away to stay alive they took themselves out of play much longer than just dying. I know i am not going to win all the time but if i do my best then I give my side a good chance. Due to how things are matched up few people will win most of the time. I think people need to get better at identifying how and why they lose and stop blaming gear, classes or their teammates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kortobowden Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Not sure. I just shrug, and while waiting for the rez/door I try to figure out what I could have done better so that I might not have died. Like positioning myself in a bad area, not using a defensive cooldown at the right time, using the stun at the wrong time, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the thing that bothers most of us new 50s is that we cant farm lowbies for easy wins/gear like the first batch of 50s did, we have to actually beat co-ordinated teams of easymode geared 50s and then win repeatedly so we can aquire the same gear they got off us while we were levelling up.

Sadly in gcd 3 hotbar land its hard for me to be better then my competition vs. say no gcd and 10 hotbars worth of abilities where I can outplay my opponent by knowing the ins and outs of my class as opposed to having to outgear my opponent.

It's wierd alright. I mean they run all the way to the other freaking side of the map just to keep from having person X "kill" their character. Then they lurk until after you've been focused on an actual WZ objective and blown all your cooldowns and are at half health or less just to jump you again so they can say they "won..." *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeebie Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 as losing gets you nothing, no real money, no real comm (unless you farm medals) doesn't advance your daily or weekly. Also most people who are losing are losing all the time. They are also being smashed not just beaten by a little bit. I think people would be happier if could still achieve towards your quest while losing. in the end. gear > all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casket Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I don't mind losing in pvp, but what I do mind is people using exploits like pulling the ball carrier up to the opposing teams spawn area. I am sure BW never intended that to be a legitimate strategy in pvp. You actually cross the goal line yet you are instantly killed and receive no points. I am fine with the instant kill so people can't camp spawn points, but if the ball carrier crosses the goal line the point should count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it to keep the three idiots chasing me distracted. In the time that it takes them to chase me across the map to get their "easy kill," my team usually scores because 7 vs 5 is a lot easier than 8 v 8.
