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.

Haven't seen many haters in pvp yet usually theres just players who are happy to see ally multiboxer in our crap battlegroup but if there's hater i'll let them be angry kids and continue my game. Though it's fun to feed troll sometimes and see if they show some intelligence or something new in all that hate...

I think i got used to all hate in CS when i was playing my _A_ game 6-8 years ago, i think it was pretty funny to see some hate and get banned after i sniped to victory 1vs9 situation or after 2 rounds when my score was 28 kills 0 deaths...

I actually enjoy some hate mails/spam, allways makes me smile

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.

I dont get hate just the opposite, ive got to tell them to go do stuff instead of sitting on my ass the whole time.

But its fun i lose 90% of the time cause my battle group sux bad. But i still have so much fun like thunderstorming three people from lumber mill to bs thats funny lol

Also killing a pally before he gets to me.

My battlegroup has seen me play enough that some people cheer when I'm in their BG. I take control of the BG, tell them I'm multiboxing and that they need to listen to my instructions in order to win.

I recommend scaling back characters in the smaller BGs unless you are VERY good. I still contend that 4 is the optimal number for almost all BGs. If you are new, undergeared, or an "average" player, I would not take more than 3 into WSG, for instance.

If you bring 5 characters into WSG and then cause a loss, you deserve the verbal punishment.

I've been boxing long enough that most people who know me are quite happy to see me in the BG!

[suicidesspyder]

yea boyl i get that in wintergrasp. Except im 79 and they tell me to get up and hurry and get 80 so ill be better for them lol.

If you bring ANY character/s into WSG and cause a loss, you deserve the verbal punishment.

I was on my 5 shaman(who are geared):

I whispered a voa25 group last night that was lfm rdps. So I say i can bring 5, he invites my main and then my main invites my other 4 shaman.....all shaman have very similar names. Not but 2 seconds later the raid leader starts cursing and freaking out and without warning all 5 get booted.

Now, I wasnt all that upset. People tend to be misinformed about boxing, but I wanted to hear this guys reasoning for being "scared" of my shaman.

He starts to explain how fail I would be trying to focus on orbs.

lol, If my setup isnt focus fire........I dont know what is.

On my server they want me to box in voa quite often, especially during the nights. Now after a couple of weeks I finally gave in and had 3 toons in top 5 dps, so I pulled my weight. There is an enhancement & another ele shaman in the raid. Enh. is fully decked out, the ele was almost lowest on dps in decent gear, not or wrong gemmed, etc ... So the 270 pvp hands drop. I roll with 3 shamans on it, as my other already had them (not equipped). And I win the roll. Tradition is here that pvp gears are a class roll, regardless from your spec. The enhancement and the ele start to whine, that I should only roll once ...
