pvp and haters

[Littleburst]

There can be different opinions but some facts will always remain the same, like how games are supposed to be fun and the ultimate goal of playing a game is to kill time and have fun. If you played a game and did not find it relaxing or fun you completely wasted the time you spent and would be better off doing something you enjoyed more. If you disagree with this you are delussional - the only exception to this MIGHT be for professional gamers but one can argue that they should spend their time getting out of the gaming tournaments and do something else instead.


Im not saying its boring to win, Im saying losing is inevitable nomatter what you do - but you should be having fun regardless or log out and do something else long before it gets to you. The only thing you need to do in the game is to have fun, everything else is optional.
I do always try and help my team but I cant win alone, I need my team to be somewhat capable the same way they need me to be somewhat capable. If its a hopeless situation I dont do what most players seem to do: charge alone into a large crowd of enemies and die everytime then complain while waiting for ress, I find other fun things to do such as mindless honor kill farming. Ultimately I dont need to win a battleground as I tend to have honor cap all the time anyway (cba buying even more gems).

Paying money and spending your precious free time volunterily on an activity that can be unpleasant isnt the smartest way to spend ones free time. Its sort of like traveling to a country you hate and have a miserable vacation over and over again

This is a bit simple really. A game often has a goal, like overcoming a challenge or so. Because of this, you'll inevitable fail once. Else it's hardly a challenge. So i don't see how finding losing shit, to not match with having fun. It's inevitable really.

Its all in your perception, outside influences can suggest you to become frustrated or angry but you have to chose to react that way by yourself. You get to chose what should get to you and it says alot about what you are insecure about if you do let something get to you. Many folks try to persuade flamers and prove them wrong and in the process revealing that the flamer struck a nerve.

The mindset you outline there suggest you are expecting to lose/fail at least some of the time and that it is part of learning something and finally mastering a challenge. That sounds great as some players expect to win 100% of the time and are disappointed if they cant do that. People have a limit to their patience however, after so many fails you start seeing /raidquits, enrages and /gquits.

If you find challenges fun and dont mind dying alot then by all means, the only right is to have fun/enjoy and the only wrong would be the opposite.


I shrug at players that ask me why I do "pointless" or "meaningless" things and suggest I should go farm items or grind reputations instead. Having fun in video games is obviously a waste of time if it doesnt develop your character according to some people who have their priorities mixed up and find it more important to develop their character than to actually having fun.
