Well I know that.  I'm just saying.  There are gankers then there are just griefers.  This is a griefer.  There is absolutely no reason for this man to hunt down 1 player for over an hour other than to ruin that other players online time.  That is griefing.  That is not needed.

 

There's a very easy solution.  When somebody ganks me the first time, I come back and rez.  If they gank me a second time I go start a load of laundry, grab something to eat, or tab over and answer e-mails for a while.  Or, some other thing that takes 10-20 minutes or more.  If they hang around to gank me a 3rd time I simply log to a different character or go run some errand out of the house.  I don't let it bother me.  If you get upset it just makes it fun for them.  Very few people are going to waste an hour or more just to kill somebody 3 times and sit and wait for tens of minutes never knowing if they are even going to come back.  Once you identify yourself as a fun target they are going to remember you and torment you in the future.

people who play these games shouldnt have their in game time decided by these mother fuckers.

you shouldnt have to jump toons or go oh well and go do laundry or shit like that if you wanted to use that time to play the game.

pvp is meant to be a fun challenge for people not what it always turns out as

Back in the original version of Runescape, scamming was a very real and very serious problem. I remember one extremely clever scam that I watched a couple times.

Two people would get together and choose an item that was used in a quest very few people had done (and was therefore unheard of to about 99% of the population). They would take this item, and stand in the town square (where items were often bought and sold) and shout "selling _____ 1 million" which of course was quite a lot of money. Then the second person would shout "buying _____ 10 million" and sit back and watch.

Right on cue, somebody would see this and think "oh an easy 9 million, I'll buy it from the first guy and sell it to the second." Well of course, right after buying this near-worthless item for 1 million gold, both players would vanish and leave the unfortunate victim high and dry.

People's cleverness when it comes to cons and scams never ceases to amaze me.

hehehe. anyone know of any funny stories like that from any of these next-gen games?

Type !~ <username> <password> to see your stats within the server

 

Of course '!~' was the shout command in chat so everyone was shouting their user name and passwords.

LOL thats awesome

lol i miss those days

i used the old crap item trade

it worked most of the time. id get a rusty dagger make up a name that sounded cool and broadcast it in the tunnel before the bazaar was ever thought of.

some dude would be like ill buy it! id say ok meet me here. they show up i go you got the 4k? they start the trade enter in the moneys

id put in the crap item and press accept. theyd accept and bam they payed 4k for a rusty dagger

also i liked how you could take your things out of the trade window at the last second. i made a lot of money selling my main weapon and pulling it at the last second of the trade and get their moneys for free

i rezzed, bam dead once i lost immunity. he proceeded to follow me every place i went in the zone to kill me. when i asked him to stop griefing me he said no, i asked why and he said my daddy beats me LOL

it might of been true which would account for his jerk off behaviour

and theres always arguements in pvp servers about this shit

the people who are pissed, like myself, who keep getting PWNED!!!! by people 20 levels higher then them

and the people who are the ones doing it that say QQ NOOB! or go to a pve server carebear, btw i cant fucking stand that QQ shit, its the most annoying thing to see for a response which is why they use it i guess.

people like me join pvp servers to have a challenge of fighting other players in the world at anytime and we want a challenge.  pvp'ers like myself and others who are supposidly carebears like to fight people around our level

ganking scumbags like pvp with them being max level and their opponent being level 1-20 so they dont have to worry about shit happening to them. and when you get mad they get off to it

i got a group together of 40's and 50's and we rolled that fucking 80. he then got his entire guild of 80's to come and gutter stomp every single person in the entire zone for an hour

 

Like I said...force of nature. Stopping trying to fight uberness your just going to loose badly and whine.

lol force of nature huh? high level characters stomping lower ones isnt a force of nature.

its you and your type of people being dickheads that either do get beat or touched by daddy and want to make everyone feel like you do

and like you said prior skilled player. it doesnt take skill to own someone half your level. thats why you steam roll lowbies cause you cant do shit against people your own level.

ive seen badasses like yourself get bitch slapped by people their own tier

its for all these reasons that i dont even bother playing mmo's anymore.

ill wait to see if darkfall launches, and if it does if it is anything near what they stated it will be

if so thats the game for life, if not then i completely give up on this corrupted stupid genre

It is hard to slam a company for trying to make money (it's what they are supposed to do afterall) but damn. They have 11 million subscribers in wow and will likely sell millions of copies of both these games when they come out.

The economy is in the crapper right now. You would think they could throw us a bone. But, like I said, companies are supposed to make money...

now a days thats what it seems like

but in the past gaming companies were supposed to just care about making fun games and if they got rich in the process thats a bonus. now its all about money and who gives a shit what the games turn out like

the hilts are a tad smaller but still to large and the blade of the saber itself is smaller now. or just looks small compared to the fat ass hilt

i think eq2 is decent. its not great but its not awful

i played for a while i had a few high 50's toons and i just got bored

crafting is the best out of any game ive played for sure

the races are awesome looking just like eq1 which is the biggest draw for me

i just remember getting near 60 and getting bored with the quest grind, its all the same just over and over

lol i think its funny reading all these threads about how horrible aoc and war is and remembering the days they were still developing and in beta and releasing little videos on how awesome their game is gonna be!

and how its gonna be the bestest thing in the history of mmo's. and both of those fuckers failed and their games are crap LOL

what i want most in a game is a world i dont have to just grind in to see the cool parts of

i want to be able to do things in towns, i want crafting to be worth a shit, skill based would be awesome instead of levels

i love exploring so a world without invisi-walls would be nice

actually exploring is my passion in games. i love to travel and go ooo and awe over scenery and architecture

quanity doesnt mean quality

i played wow a bunch of times cause my damn friends do and i was tired of playing games on my own

i quit everytime too, and i know from experience that wow's community sucks total balls. its mostly people talking shit to each other or telling chuck norris jokes

neither until i see em with my own eyes. both sound like they are full of shit and wont come out with anything near what they said they would

i wish they'd add a server to the wow where anyone who joins dies instantly, and advertise it with free legendary gear so everyone goes oh shit and joins then they all die and wow emplodes and everything wow related bursts into flames and satan rises out of its ashes and brings down death and destruction to our entire planet

So.... are we going to believe you and the rest of the people under the bridge or those guys up there as well as user ratings on this and other sites?

Go away, you made your daily quota. I really don't know what you're doing here now that WotLK is out.

When I read your post I'm beginning to understand where a part of those 150 million $ per month are going... Because it sure ain't towards developing any real new content or improving the game.

meh awards dont mean shit
