Go ahead take PvP seriously and do your best to win every encounter but stop being spoil sports. The PvP population is slim enough and we can’t afford to lose anymore potential or current players.
Is it really that difficult to have fun and be competitive?
Win or lose, is it impossible for some of you to be positive and encouraging as well?
Stop being “baddos” and start helping to rebuild the PvP community.
The “why I brought this up” story...
(Names have been changed)
Leveling up fun...
[Team] Mr. Sticky: could you invite BADDO?
[Team] BADDO: woot 40 Sos
[Team] BADDO: 37
[Team] BADDO: brt getting new ench.
Arena fun among friends (I’m watching)...
In the red corner...
Mr. Sticky (40) Brute... Some basic PvP experience and pretty cool guy.
BADDO (37) Corr.... Arena PvPer and Mr. Sticky’s friend.
VS.
In the blue corner... My friends that have been playing for 2 weeks since Issue umm 3 and no PvP experience, but will bring the hardcore pwnage someday.
Six Slot (40) MM... Pre ED minded and has endurance six slotted currently.
Wormhole! (32) Dom... Has achieved level 32 through the use of Hover, Fly and Wormhole!
This was the result as expected... “lol yea way to farm a none slotted toon” You will understand this quote soon.
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Poor Wormhole!. Six Slot died a couple of times too.
OK Wormhole! is out and I get on my Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom with 40 SOs and Karma KB pro...
*Mind you we were all having fun just goofing around up to this point.
In the red corner...
Mr. Sticky (40) Brute
BADDO (37) Corr
VS.
In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom... Ub3rl33tfz0nePvPm4st3rL0L
Six Slot (40) MM
OMG Tactics! Six Slot and I make a plan... Ignore and run from the Mr. Sticky. Kill BADDO. Six Slot keep me healed.
You have defeated BADDO
You have defeated BADDO
Six Slot has defeated BADDO
Six Slot has defeated BADDO
BADDO: lol next match i got you son
You have defeated BADDO
BADDO quits match early leaving Mr. Sticky all alone and jumped on his Blaster.
After the friendly goof off match I say to BADDO...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: nj
I get a reply...
BADDO’S BLASTER: lol yea way to farm a none slotted toon
Then I think to myself this statement from earlier...
[Team] BADDO: 40 Sos
[Team] BADDO:37
[Team] BADDO: brt getting new ench.
And this (See the thing is right now both Six Slot and Wormhole! do not have a clue about PvP or most of this game, their power choices and slotting are all over the place, and the worst part is that both Mr. Sticky and BADDO know all of this because Six Slot and Wormhole! have these 2 alts in Mr. Sticky’s and BADDO’S VG LOL)...
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Mr. Sticky has defeated Wormhole!
BADDO has defeated Wormhole!
Poor Wormhole!.
Then I say...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: eh its all in good fun but corrs are better than brutes to kill
New match starts...
In the red corner...
BADDO’S BLASTER
Mr. Sticky
VS.
In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (41) Dom
Six Slot
Match starts and I get crushed in a couple of hits. Then I noticed something.
[Local] Uberl33tflyingpff: BADDO lol is on his 50
Match ends and I switch to my other Uberl33tflyingpff (50) Dom for ships and giggles...
We were all going to run again together and Mr. Sticky sets it up but then...
[Arena] [Mr. Sticky]: lets just watch
[Arena] [Mr. Sticky]: dont attack us and we wont attack you
OK let’s get it on like the true warrior I am LOL.
New new match starts...
In the red corner...
BADDO’S BLASTER (50) Blaster
VS.
In the blue corner...
Uberl33tflyingpff (50) Dom
Match up of the century!

My favorite haha. I love you PvP revamp!...
Your Personal Force Field makes you virtually invulnerable to most attacks, but you can only cast powers on yourself while the Force Field is active.
Lots of incoming damage (I really should play my Blaster more often)...

The finale...
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: alright gj next time ill bring another toon and we can have fun
BADDO’S BLASTER: alrighty let me know
-->BADDO’S BLASTER: sounds good have fun
Moral of the story...
Being a baddo does nothing except add more negativity that players have towards PvP, makes you look stupid and does not help to encourage more people to participate which untimately hurts you in the long run. Less players = less fun PvP.
Side note...
Thank you to whomever approved of this PvP system that has driven away players and created even greater disparities and balance issues within and outside of all archetypes.
PvP is bad because the Developers and some players have treated it bad. If the Developers reinvest and more players cut back on the "baddo" you will eventually see a healthier population.
