i've already said that gloat needs to be removed as well as honor...theres enough variables now with the pvp xfers being adjusted by level without having to work with BvP(buff vs player)

is it really accurate if say i'm on the boards and a lvl 100 takes the bounty with gloat active...they attack and attack losing 200 straight attacks and then win one due to their buffs all lining up and take 200pvp on that hit....does that reflect their pvp skill? they arent called patience or perseverance points are they...sometimes circumstances beyond anyones control play a part in a clear too, i cleared a certain lvl 900 this morning and lost quite a few from just plain bad luck with buffs activating or not activating but if i had been buffed with gloat i'd have been taking 20-40pvp per win and losing just a few points per loss which wouldnt reflect any pvp skill but just the strength of the gloat buff itself

Gloat on the BB, is considered dishonorable conduct by most pure PvPers. The only reason I would use it, would be to punish a PvP rating farmer. :)

I wish gloat and honor would just go away. Causes so many problems. :?

if you're using gloat, you're not a pure pvper. If you're not a pure pvper, you have no reason to gain rating and climb the ladder.

No one gets a bonus for higher level clears. Gloat is the only thing that can increase rating gain outside of normal rating transfer on the board.

I don't like Gloat, it just makes it easier for the Ladder to get a higher max score on it. Right now it is up to 1600, and the rest was just the other day. SO I think that Gloat and Honor should be a direct attacks only, not bounty attacks.

PvP/game would become so boring if everyone followed the rules of the "pure pvper". Using gloat does have a risk, you will eventually will become a target and get stomped. It's great in a roleplaying, the villains using gloat and the heroes trying to find stop them.

The only thing I would suggest is you get to pick either honor or gloat to use (and once you pick you can't ever use the other buff [Player Reset resets the choice though]).

I still say that pvp rating should not be transferred via the bounty board at all. Let everyone duke it out up and down the pvp ladder. The way I propose, you could attack anyone +/- 10 positions on the pvp ladder (the adjustment for level would still be in effect). That way, the pvp ladder is a bit more of an accurate reflection of pvp prowess and not farming the bounty board.

I would love to be able to smack people on the ladder lol, and of course be hit by them in return.. would be fun.... and players camping/sitting on a lot of rating would never be safe :twisted:

If you take Gloat out you should take Honor as well
Why do players have threats in their bio regarding Gloat when they use Honor?

They cancel each other in a way, so if you dont like to be hit with Gloat , dont use Honor

And its a game of points now, Gloat just make the ladder fluctuate a bit more if player were not so afraid to get bountied or get hit.

And i still find it amusing that there is a level 5 on top of the ladder .....

I'd like to see a message in the combat screen that lets you know when gloat is being used on you. That way I know when to counter bounty :D

Just look at the amount of rating you are losing :)

And if someone use reckoning as well, then you know for sure when it kicks in

In a way you are splitting hairs, Gravely (not a surprise that ;) ), no one gets a bonus, but instead they don't get a malus, wich knc would get more often due to more targets being lower level than him.

I don't agree with any buff that randomly can 'improve' the expression of someone's pvp-ing skills with points for a ladder. Especially now the ladder gives rewards, so people are partly getting rewarded for having a buff kick in? That's just a joke.

I tend to limit my bounty board interaction with lower level players as much as possible. How is that splitting hairs? If you farm lower level players, you deserve a penalty. If you're higher level, and you're truly not farming, you should recognize that clearing a given player is much easier for you than it is for most of the rest of the game population, and accept that you deserve less of a reward for doing it in terms of rating gain.
