Whats with the griefing posts?

[Xykaru 1]

I knew the first response would be a dumbass one.

 

At no point have I said I wont stand for it and also it was structured as a "question"

 

But thanks for your dumb response anyway.

Don't be a buttmunch. People like PvP because they can fight other humans. The more upset you make your enemy, the more you 'win', so to speak. It's not just about fighting. It's about beating them so hard that they get upset and bash their keyboard until every key is missing. When I get messages including death threats, insults, etc.. I am pleased knowing that I upset them so bad that they had to log onto a character in the opposite faction just to talk smack. Then I ignore them and kill them when they log back on. It's a very pleasant experience... for me.

 

   I am going to annihilate Redridge when the server is live. There will be no survivors. Period.

God.. just writing this last part makes me tingle inside with excitement!

You're "tingling" from people being upset with your behaviour, this is not a red flag to you?

 

I could understand it if you found some interesting way to do it, or if you're running past a lowbie town you might kill a couple of them. But going out of your way to bother other people really just sounds like someone who feels so powerless in real life that they want to exert their virtual power over lowbies or someone who is just genuinely such a bad person that he likes the misery of others. Either way, you should really reevaluate your life choices.

It's amazing how you overanalyze this

There is nothing more fun than wasting peoples time on WoW.

 

   I posted this on another thread - think about it. If it takes 3 minutes to corpserun, and I kill 100 people, that's FIVE HOURS of peoples time spent corpse running. For me, it's all about how much total accumulated time I can force people to corpse run. I am going to give Redridge hell.

I get bored of camping. It's nice as a druid though, it's easy to fool people multiple times into thinking I've left My favorite is waiting until they're on a mob, then getting them to red health, entangling roots, then letting them die by mobs so that they lose durability and gold. HAHAHA. Man I  can't wait to wreak havoc in Redridge.

If you really want to piss people off kill them at the elite dragon kin area in distwallow. The graveyard is ridiculously far away

I like redridge because as a druid I can just jump in the water if some overly geared 60 comes to stop my rampage. I just swim to the other side of the lake and keep killing. If they find me again, I just go back to the lake. Sometimes I'll get in the lake, go deep underwater, then cat form and stealth right back to where I was at. Usually it fools them into running to the otherside of the lake via mount xD

 

Edit: I also like stealth following parties into the castle in Redridge and wait until they're in the boss room. Then I kill them AND the boss, /flex, then leave. It forces them to reclear the entire castle. Then I wait for them to do it again, rinse, repeat. Delicious ganking. Nomnomnom.

In my experience and from what I know there's two kinds of people who enjoy this.  First is the kind of person who just isn't right mentally and the second is the person who is so bored and has nothing left to do that killing people who can't fight back is an enjoyable activity.  I vaguely remember a few rare times when this activity appealed to me back when I was a teenager playing WoW 10 hours a day but it really doesn't stay fun for long.  It's definitely a sign of someone who has problems with empathy and maturity (you could do a lengthy study on this behavior and the mentality of people who do this).  There's also the whole power trip/fantasy thing.  

 

These days with my 30th birthday fast approaching this kind of thing is really pathetic imo but everyone is different.  Different maturity levels, different tastes, etc.

Or the third kind of person - people who like to be a dick. I'd rather ruin peoples video game experience instead of ruining their real life lives.  You can say all the demeaning things you want, but you're still going to get ganked either which way. If you don't like it, you can go to the kiddy table (PvE server)

 

Btw, did you ever consider that the people who gank at 60 were ganked heavily while they were leveling and are just returning the favor?

well if you decide to do it in non contested zones be prepared for a ban. cant wait to see these morons forgo the ToS and get rekt by the admins for griefing.

Redridge is contested. There's no ganking in safe zones.

Might as well throw in the fact that a lot of people aren't interested in Nostalrius due to the fresh PvP server coming out - so they're just jumping into the game and ganking until the fresh one pops.

I understand that, the decision to be a dick is what I meant by having maturity and personality issues.  I don't mind being ganked, it's part of playing on a pvp server whether anyone likes it or not and if someone can't accept that then they should not have rolled on a pvp server to begin with.  It's also part of the lore and setting of the game as we all know the crumbling truce between horde and alliance has all but evaporated.  At the end of the day if someone derives pleasure from that behavior then I say grief lowbies to your heart's content, I don't believe in restricting people's ability to do this.  Freedom to do what you want within the game's rules and built in mechanics is a great thing

You do realize that your message is pretty much spot on how people who get ganked reply?

 

Also, expecting that everything all the time can be mutually fun for everyone everywhere, is really having insanely unrealistic expectations.

 

I wish you good luck in life sir, you will need it.

Have you ever even played WoW before? You do realize that I can't 'decide to gank in non-contested zones' because they're not flagged for PvP, right? If they do flag themselves for PvP, they are free game and there will be no banhammer for killing flagged enemies. The only bannable offense in safezones is griefing quest NPC's for extended periods and dropping infernal bombs.

 

  It didn't go over my head because it wasn't even a logical argument.

[Aisar87 0]

To argue the other side a bit - I think the danger of pvp happening at any time outside the first couple safe starter zones actually makes the game more fun.  I don't have any interest in pve servers because I want that pvp gameplay.  It may suck being "ganked" by someone else twice your level but that is much more realistic and exciting than coming across someone of the opposite faction and not having the choice to attack them.  You are not supposed to be friends, you're not supposed to like them.  I think playing on a pve server would be a shame because you lose that tension and layer of interaction and gameplay.

 

You also lose some feel of community as well.  I fondly remember people being notorious because they were really big into pvp and were "hated" and well known on both sides.  There's a lot of fun to be had on pvp servers that pve server players never get to experience.

I have to admit, it's rather humorous that you're implementing the concept of maturity and personality issues based on actions taken in a video game.

 

  We could easily say that anybody who plays video games has maturity and personality issues. Maturity issues because, well, they're playing a video game rather than doing better things in life like making their mothers proud or providing food for all the starving dying children in this world. Personality issues because they're spending time in a virtual world that limits their ability to express to typing and emotes, demeaning their social skills and ultimately making them more prone to enact in real life the way they would in the video game. Not to mention it limits the amount of social interaction one could potentially experience which, you guessed it, further demeans their personality.

 

  Just because you don't like how other people move their mouse around and click buttons in a fantasy world doesn't mean you should even begin to consider yourself qualified to judge the mental capacity and social adeptness of others, let alone actually going about and labeling others based on pixelated images that have burned into your brain.

 

I'm gonna gank you so hard brah.

you answered your own post dude. you are a funny guy.

We've been talking about ganking, not griefing. I think you've been posting in the wrong thread.

Heh actually human behavior and social interaction is something I find really interesting and like to think I know quite a lot about, it's something I have been into for many years.  Anyway these are just my personal thoughts and opinions on the matter, please feel free to disagree and present your own opinions as much as you like.  Looking forward to the ganking bruh <3  I'll be on the fresh pvp server if you're around.

Ain't no thang. Forumfare (Forum warfare) is the closest I can get to vanilla PvP right now aside from joining an inferior progressed server, in which case I'd have to start from scratch, and by time I get to a decent level to PvP (assuming there are players available) Nost will be back up. So. Putcha dukes up

I don't remember ever being ganked, that's not to say I never did, I just don't remember it, it didn't leave an impression. I play NE so I usually just shadowmeld if any high level shows up in case they're a loser, e.g. someone who has fun as a direct consequence of the lack of other's.

 

I mean, we all have our faults, I just have a hard time imagining this kind of behaviour not negatively affecting your life, or at least being a symptom of a serious personality problem. This is not acceptable behaviour, which is why you do it in a game and not in real life, but there is an actual person on the other side. You are a bad person and I hope you don't have any delusions about that.
