I have seen multiple instances where people both do not tell the full and complete story - which includes actions they are either not proud of or are aware mitigates what happened to them - and where they blame a single incident of PvP for doing something they either were already considering anyway, or as justification for doing XYZ.
Like I said earlier, the guy that quit probably needs to take it less seriously and toughen up. He's a nice enough guy and has donated a fair bit to this game, so I'm not happy to see things end the way they did. Here's the eyewitness account of what happened. Sure it's all within the rules of the game, but it shows how certain guilds can get away with it because they know other people don't want to lose 5 levels:
xxx: YY apparently got hit by MMM like 5x in 1 day i think....he lost 1.3 mill gold in either 1 attack or over all. He went after their relic...and so MMM hit him again. he hit MMM back and that chicken **** put him on bb. (and levels were taken)
xxx then goes on to say: MMM also hit me 2x...i hit him back 1x and he puts me on BB...lost 5 levels to those ******** cowards!
yyy: I got hit by MMM as well, I just kept putting him on the board though, I know attacking back would mean losing 5
qqq: I learned my lesson from the xxx guild..your hands are tied w/ PvP dedicated guilds
This is, in the end, a game. No one can bully you over a game that you voluntarily log into. However, the way you're posting right now, and how your bio reads, is nothing but antagonistic. The "unofficial PVP event" you suggested - can you honestly say you weren't attempting to provoke a response?
True, nobody can make you login, but people who want to enjoy other aspects of the game shouldn't be put in that position.
People can think what they want of my bio. I've seen so many hypocritical bios that I felt like saying something about them.
I was looking into the viability of that unofficial PVP event until I found out that most of the prominent PVP guilds are allied.. makes it hard to turn the tables on the in-game bullies, I'm sure they wouldn't like the idea of 'levellers' having superior numbers over them in pvp for a change. Although a lot of people are interested in the idea of hitting one guild..
