Why i flag myself PVP

This is just for your reasoning for flagging PVP! (Pkrs also included! )​

​

*This post is not to tell us why you dont pvp, or why its not good to pvp so please post that in other posts*​

​

Just because your flagged pvp, does not mean you have to kill each other over and over just because your flagged PVP!​

From my experience Ive seen maybe 1 to 4 PKs that kill just to kill, there is normally a motive behind it, a reason, whether it be riches, personal issues, guild affiliation whatever.​

​

I flag myself PVP #1 because i love the excitement of it! I like going out and finding the "bad guy" the Pkr, and killing him off! Even if you personally are the victim of the PK, and dont agree with me going and killing him off for that!​

​

Keep in mind i am playing my game, my roll play, and my character as i would play if it was a real scenario, back in the age of fire and steel.​

​

I will go out and actively look for Pkrs, grieving others, and just plain being jerks to other people (Example; ganking noobs) ​

​

That is my roll play, and i shouldn't have to play your roll play! I didn't get this game for you or your beliefs, although i am ok if your beliefs differ! Please everyone play the way they want too! Enjoy your game! I will be enjoying mine!​

​

You may not like PVP and that is fine, but there are a lot of other reasons people do like PVP, and go PVP! It is not always to grief someone! (although some do)​

​

Pks, most of the time have a motive, whether that be riches, personal issues, or to become infamous, Don't worry i am there to also be famous for hunting them down and gaining riches from thier corps's, and exacting revenge!​

​

I dont hate Pks in general! I do hate Pks that pick on lower level people, rez kill, or talk a bunch of smack after they kill someone! Those are the reasons i hunt PKs and have picked PVP as my flag!​

​

I have a lot of friends on here that are PKrs, we can go round and round, and still joke and still talk smack to each other (only). Then well go chill out somewhere, and complete a quest together, possibly help each other after our initial battle!​

​

Some can be trusted and others cant, same go with us PVP! That just takes time to find out on individual counts, and not as a whole.​

​

(not all PKs are that way, and not all PVP are that way)​

​

So lets discuss reasons we pick the PVP Flag, and maybe help others understand truly why we as PVP like to be in PVP.​

​

By no way is this post to get others to be PVP, that is a choice only you can make on your own! Its just information a lot may not understand, and might open peoples eyes to the real reasons we PVP! ​

Umm why did we start this topic over again?

 

Got off topic! Thanks for bearing with me!

 

It got off topic with a lesson on economics 101

(c:


I PvP for the challenge and because I want to see the game do well!

 

Right, it really got.
I would PVP for economic reasons.

 

Okies good enough for me

I PVP because it is a facet of the game, it is one I dont have much experience in. I do not like to limit myself to just one style of play and I enjoy learning and doing new things.

 

I like pvp because its fun but doing it just for fun gets old after a while, I need the full rpg experience, this is only part of it.

 

I come at if the reverse angle. It's not about why I would PvP it's about why I wouldn't PvP.

I PvP at first until I see certain factors:

Poor balance
Crowd control is out of control
My time is best spent attacking targets that are not a competitive level
Repetitious
Not relevant

Poor balance is wide open but what comes to mind first is cookie cutter. IE everyone is in full plate and using a pole arm. If you don't then you can't compete.

Crowd control is very very bad IMO This may be just me but standing there unable to control my character for X amount of time is not fun. The longer the loss of control the more likely I am out of PvP for good.

Time best spent could have it's own thread and end up 100 pages long fast. I don't want to spend my time hanging out in low challenge areas waiting for a challenge. I also have no interest in easy kills so if my profit is tied to me doing this, I am probably out of PvP.

Repetitive PvP is why I don't do FPS unless I am in with close friends. Battleground PvP is short lived. I can get about 5 or so matches in and I have had enough.

Not relevant is tied to repetitive in some ways because I want it to be a part of life in game. Repetitive can't be relevant because if you just won a battleground why are you doing it again so soon.

 

I want to be respectful to the OP and keep this on topic. However, your same argument could be made for PvE encounters. At least battlegrounds aren't scripted and predictable. It's not the battleground you're fighting, it's the people in it.

 

Ristra please stay on topic this isnt a debate between PVP and non PVP this is why DO YOU PVP

 

The topic is why I flag myself PvP.

My short answer is I flag PvP because that's what I want to do. IMO the perfect game is full open PvP. But I realize there is not perfect game and until this is true we have to account for the flaws.

If the topic was why I PvE that would have been on the list of why I don't play the game. There are a lot of MMO's out there and I don't play any of them. I stopped playing single player games. Real time strategy was the first to go, command and conquer was awesome and anything since has been on a fundamental level a carbon copy. RPGs went next with Baldur's Gate. Same thing, fundamentally all have been a copy ever since. (don't feel like listing all the different styles of RPG so leaving it with BG)

FPS come and go still because when they are new and played with close friends they are fun. The repetition causes me to play less and less with time until I move on to the next.

So why I PvP is simple, that's what I am going to do. Why I stop PvP become the answer to the question of why I flag for PvP. Why I PvE is a differnt topic so no need to bring it up.

 

At this point i would like to bring your attention to the Forum rules......especially the highlighted yellow ones.....................................

It is fun and keeps you on your toes. Most of the PVP people just hang out talking to each other anyway heh.

 

so you really pour yourself into it?? sorry couldn't resist

 

*chuckles*

 

Hehe Kindle sometimes thinks im saying something other then what I am. typo fixed

 

OK so back on topic! the question was Why do you flag your self PVP! It is an interesting topic to understand why people choose PVP.

This post is not about why you do not flag PVP!!!!!!! Its not what effects does it have on the economy!!! Or why you hate PVP !!!!

So please lets stay on topic!

 

Captain Jack flags PvP because he is a manly man. Specifically speaking on this game, there is nothing to lose so why ever not!

 

I flag PvP because I want to have human trophies to decorate and craft...certain things with.

 

I see what you did there hehe.

Edit:
And if that works i totally need pikes infront of my prison.
