Your personal rules of random PVP?

[Savingsupertokyo]

If you were going to be dismissive of my opinions on random PvP why did you make this thread?

Yes I'm on a PvE server. Ask anyone on Stormrage if I ever run from pvp fights - even unwinnable ones. You will find that your assumptions of what cloth I am cut from to be wrong.

Even when I was on the PvP server I did not prey upon the weak. I did not find solace for my defeats in doing upon others as had been done to me. I did not humiliate those who attacked me with little chance at success. Why? Because I know it is not fun for those who have no chance of winning to be attacked and then humiliated. I don't PvP to feel stronger than someone else or as any validation for my superiority. I PvP for the challenge that it gives over your random PvE fights. But because of the way that blizzard implemented PvP amongst other reasons I chose a PvE server.

But it does lead me to wonder what you were looking for with this post if you didn't want to hear differing viewpoints. If you weren't looking to spark discussion why ask at all? Were you expecting folks to slap you on the back and congratulating you on pwning the clueless n00b? What were your intentions with your post?

/sigh. i post on another forum where i'm in the top 10 in postcount. i know what its like to be a big dog on the forum and by that fact alone being entitled to look down upon those with lesser postcounts. maybe its just me that's how you're coming across. if its any consolation, i've lurked here since october 2000. but i digress.

What a challenge that player 29 levels lower than you must have presented. And that string of critcals - surely sign of a fluke in game mechanics and not the vast disparity in levels + equipment. To me I think the crowning unglory was disrobing and cannibalizing your victim. Class moves there.

accuse me of being dismissive?

---------------------------

im not slighting you in the least bit, i'm simply saing that pvp and pve servers are vastly different, and attract different people. true, you may never run from a pvp fight, and for that i applaud. but do you type /pvp every time you see the opposing faction? i'm always flagged, and if i am unflagged in horde territory and see alliance, you can bet that i will be flagged shortly.

and maybe i am preying upon the weak, but he is the enemy. strike at the women and children to bring your enemy to its knees. in 31 levels when he is able to kill me, i have no doubts that any mercy showen would be forgotten.

i'm not dishonorable when it comes to pvp. im realistic. i expect no quarter and i give none, unless something makes me laugh and you get to go on your way.

and the purpose of my thread is clear. Your personal rules of random PVP? I just happen to think that mine are the best and will defend my position. Take pride in what you do?
