I've spent the past hour reading every single page of this. This is ridiculous. Seriously guys..
One: Labeling people as PvPers, levelers, etc is stupid. No one is strictly anything. We all play every aspect of the game, even if you don't realize it.
I've dabbled in everything & I mean, EVERYTHING.
I got my butt kicked by BaiLong in Titan Hunting. (I miss him.)
I learned how to do the Arena from Command14 & Ukyo.
I learned how to SE hunt from my dear friends at The Retreat.
I learned how to Chest Hunt from Shardoom's Guide.. (One more till the medal!)
I tried the 100-149 PvP Ladder in October for a full month. Along, with bounty boards. (74% to Silver!)
I'll even add some PvP was taught to me by some members of ODP. They took five from me, but were respectful enough to give me advice on gear and buffs.
I've leveled from 67 to 401 since July of last year, but you know what annoys me the most?
Two days ago, I strayed from the norm. I had full stamina, saw the new medal.. Wanted to have some fun.. So, I PvPed. I was the 8th person to get the medal that night.
You know what happened?
I got bountied, I got 5 taken from me, but you know what I did? I respected the true PvPers for being passionate about defending their allies.
You know what I got in return?
RESPECT.
They all respected me, because I didn't complain.. I didn't whine. Ohmygod, this is a game for christ's sake! Sit back and enjoy it. You lose some XP, you know what happens? You get higher goals, you want to do more. You bring life to the boards, you make allies, you have your friends defend you.
I'm sick of hearing people say "Oh, I can't afford PvP Protection or XP Locks, UNFAIR, they gang up on us and make us lose five!" You know what? Fight back. Fight for your honor, your glory and everything this game stands for. This game has personas that are complexly derived by your actions.. I mean, if you rob someone in a game.. Are you not a rogue? If you kill monsters in a game, are you not a champion? It's all part of the game. It's what makes it fun! If we all just did one thing on this game.. It might as well be called Point & Click, not Fallensword.
So, suck it up.. Live with it. It'll happen & will happen again. This is the past knocking, get a reality check.
/End Rant.
Also, Rebtex's idea is amazing & Calista's post made me cry a little. She's right, you shouldn't judge people.
Thank you.
Thank you hb, With out a doubt The best damn thing i have read in this entire thread.
