I just wanted to find out why a lot of players do not take part in very much PvP. It could be as huge a part of the game as hunting, but for many reasons it isn't.

I myself wouldn't mind doing it, but I am just not willing to risk losing levels and I am sure this is the same for a lot of people. Also unless you get lucky and find a target with millions of gold on hand, I just see it as a waste of my hunting stamina.

So why else don't other people do it?

you cant advertise bountying players on the fsbox
you cant advertise bountying players on the forum
there is no rule against the buying and selling of pvp rating
hitting someone for gold/lvls can be seen as harrasment

is that constructive enough?

Better, thankyou!

You can advertise that you are putting up a bounty, just dont mention the players name.

I am confused as to why this would stop you taking part in PvP though? If you were the one doing the attacking, and the things you say are true, then you would actually have more protection from being bountied, giving you less risk.

Well I think you pose a good question. I do it when the target is right. Players show their arrogance by holding millions of gold on hand, and now that the obscene amount of xp loss is where it should have been long ago, I hit with full thievery and MT. Why not? It's a game after all.

I'm more curious why players make themselves easy targets. XP doesn't mean that much, or does it? Btw the rule with HCS fearing the game becoming more PvP orientated is that you strike and not send any PMs whatsoever, ever, unless you can fall into the VERY vague ruling of 'harassment'. If they want to suspend, or more drastically terminate a player, for playing the game as they set it up is just wrong! I understand people want to have fun and even donate, but come on, why take it so personal?

if i hit someone for gold or lvls , you think i would be concerned about protection? ... i mainly hit for rating , but as you can see .. money can easily outweigh everything as if i hit someone , i get bountied , i loose the rating and i am not able to advance on the ladder whether if i buy rating , i can just zoom past everyone

I dont do it regularly as I like going upwards in levels, better titan gear and such the higher you get. Im not afraid to get stuck in though if I see an opportunity, or the chance to have a bit of fun, I'll take it ;)

This rating issue has gone on for WAY too long and needs to be addressed...

i would like to know why levellers only play half the game,, i happily hunt, pvp, bounty,, the only thing i dont do is arena cos i have no idea how it works,, it seems totally random and now people know how to exploit it newcomers to it struggle a lot.

pvp is great cos you get to know people in game more even if they are hurling insults at you for taking their gold,,

the trouble with some players are they are so hungry for gold or fsp they dont realise they are missing out

there has been many threads like that

the vast majority of players/whiners dont pvp so hcs have no intention of changing it. yes , it is sad , but recent updates have shown that it is the truth

Well I disagree. PvP is not a big donation sink so it's not the priority that other aspects of the game hold. However recently there have been some substantial upgrades that have affected PvP positively. I just wish that HCS would finish what they started... lol

I gave my main reason in the OP. But in addition to that levelling offers more rewards than PvP. Levelling gives you more buffs, higher level buffs, better stats, access to better equipment, etc.

PvP does not have the same rewards and for me, it comes with too many risks. Maybe if there was XP to be gained from PvP, aswell as a risk to the attacker to lose XP if they lose, it would be more rewarding and more worthwhile.

see there is your problem, you play the game as a business,, you dont play it for fun as it should be played,, this game is a relaxing release for me,,

No not a at all business, I enjoy gaining rewards for my efforts in any game I play. Not in monetary terms, but bettering myself in the game like the rewards I stated through levelling. There is nothing like the same rewards from PvP.

the enjoyment of going on the bountyboard and trying to defend a bounty is good fun,, if you in FFS ever tried your hand at pvpin i think you would enjoy it

If that's how many people see it like, perhaps there should be more rewards for PvP. That way more people will participate, and more fun! Personally I love to PvP, and like to get PvPed. Too bad no one hits back but only bounties.

Totally agree, being on the BB while online is prob the most fun you can have in the game (as long as you know what your doing, have a reasonable BP and a few combat sets). However, in general, PvP doesn't have as many good points as leveling. What do you actually gain from PvP... rating; meaningless, gold; how many decent gold opportunity are there, I check my online range every now and then, NEVER seen anyone I wanted to hit. You can have fun, but you can also have fun leveling.. aside from the grind lol I personally like working out my sets and figuring out what my next set-up is gonna be.

What is this PvP you talk of?
Is it something I can eat or drink?
