Honer

*wonders why you are consistently misspelling this word* A few times, and I would have chalked it up to typos.

My spellcheck says its fine :? I see now, will fix. . .

Hunh... Mine does too... *checks dictionary* Well "honer" means "someone who sharpens or smooths with a whetstone." OK... That's what we get for relying on spell-check, isn't it? We get real words that happen to be the wrong ones. :lol:

and thats a different spelling of the word, honor...and most likely who was in charge of the pvp ladder this time around

I still have not heard a good reason for removal of the two buffs. Anyone who wants to PvP and improve their Rating can obtain these buffs if they want to. They are not restricted to a certain class or type of player. Saying that only few people have "general" access to them is the same as saying you don't have "general" access to great leveling buffs unless you're in a big guild with high level players. As a leveler I buy buffs if I have to when I need them, and as a PvP'er I would expect to do the same if they were not available close by. I still do not get it if everyone can get the buffs.

and thereby still promoting the broken system that has level 200's with over 3k pvp in less than a week? its broken and needs fixing, lets face it...or gloat and honor need to be reworked into some miniscule amount and not the overpowered amount it is now

its a problem with PvP when a level 200 can hold that much rating at one time..if only more challenged those on the ladder without bringing the bounty board into it. PvP should be one on one

The pvp rating system is loosely based on the ELO rating system for chess. The more the difference in rating while attacking higher the more you gain, and the more difference in rating when attacking lower, the less you gain. To have buffs change the transfer at all undermines the system entirely. They might as well take pvp rating out of pvp and add it to the upgrades page.

Look at it from an role playing point of view. Gloat is a magic spell that does what exactly? What do you do to gloat? You have no disadvantage you wouldnt before. Thats why I proposed to change it as I did.

What about high PvP rating players using deflect? Does it take any skill to deflect attacks? I think you should have a low PvP rating in order for deflect to kick in.

I have been cleared by a few players using gloat as well as honor, I remind them to remove the buffs while clearing my bounty otherwise they will be countered. Period! These buffs as well as the ladder is a slap in the face to PvPers and I for one am not participating in the ladder, but I have no problem 100 stamming the farmers when I see them on the board :twisted: . Heck even if I wanted to participate I get posted and lose it all anyways :D

the slap in the face is that you have to look down to spot#21 before you see the first actual pvper on the pvp ladder

and why should gloat be removed? its the same reason as anything else, its entirely too overpowered with absolutely no real risk for using it...its like getting mad at your neighbor and running him over with your car and killing him, and then taking his wallet too

Well, he's not going to be using it, so... :lol:

i belive they should

1. do away with the buff and give players a reset

2. modify it a LOT

i would vote for number 1


too late to modify. It is either all or nothing, IMO. I predict it will stay in the game, so either get the buff and use it too or stop pvping.
