Be More Positive: Reduce Trash Talking

The only time trash talking really bothers me is when some random stalker camps outside the hospital and repeatedly tp foe's me into a bunch of his buddies and then starts telling me how much I suck. Usually with horrible grammar. That's irritating, but I still don't whine about it. Usually I just invite them to take me on one on one or at least after my HP is back up to full. And am slightly amused when all they do is TP Foe me yet again.
And yes I realize that me posting this in this thread is going to be construed as "whining."
PvP is fun. I enjoy it even though i'm not especially skilled at it.
Being repeatedly ganked by a bunch of kids who found an easy way to rack up kills is not as fun. Especially when they have me in a position that I can't do much about it, and incessantly tell me how much better of a player than me they are.
MY trash talking usually consists of (after a rare victory by me) "lol, gotcha! round 2?"
And I will freely admit, if you beat me in a (relatively) fair fight, you've earned the right to trash talk a little bit.
But when you beat me using a cheap tactic and then crow about it in broadcast for the next 15 minutes? C'mon, grow up.
For the record, this post is not directed at anyone in particular. Just a generalization of the type of players that turn off new PvPers who otherwise might have had fun with it.

I just don't feel that an increase in population at the expense of actual skill and the need to coddle the lowest common demoninator will do anything at all for PvP in this game. Either bring it, or stay the [censored] home.
PvP has a DNR tag on it's toe, or its DOA.

Could you be ANY more ignorant?

Yes, would hardly take any effort at all, in fact. Could you smack talk more in your defense of the proposition that there should be less smack talk? Perhaps I should simply follow your example to answer the challenge?

THEY in turn end up having this mentality that everyone on the opposing side is like this one jerk, and so they immediately go on the offensive verbally when they zone. THEY become a jerk much as the one that verbally abused them.

You said the same thing I did, 'cept I didn't have to resort to calling folks names to make my point.

Rest snipped. Don't respond to me anymore unless you have something interesting to say, kkthnxbai.

Hehe. You know it. 
I trash talk koreans and (i assume) they trash talk back. We can't understand each other so it's win win...sometimes someone tries to translate, but that's always full of fail
I was lucky enough to have a friend that spoke korean who could tell me things to type to them in RV.

All I can do is lead by example when I PvP.

Thank goodness for /ignore and disable seeing broadcast villian chat.
[/ QUOTE ]
What about leading by example by not cutting off communication and instead exercising some mental maturity?
[/ QUOTE ]
Why would I want to communicate with anyone in a pvp zone? If folks want to chat do it outside the zone. In the zones you should be there for one thing: kicking someone's face in.
It's actually more mature to me, anyway, to simply ignor or turn off b-cast. You can still chat with your team without seenig the repsonses of idiots. To me that makes more sense then posting on the forums about how butt hurt you got from an aspect which is totally 100% in your control. You do not have to see the nonsense in chat if you don't want to.
Now if you want to rpvp, that's on the person in general.

trash talk is just a sign of immaturity and insecurity in the player's self as a pvp'r

Or they're just a [censored] [censored]
For the record I do not talk trash, but I don't see it as a big deal in pvp.
Trash talking is a part of pvp IMHO. Your going to get trash talk when two people fight each other. The sensativa's need to develop a thick skin and quit being so touchy, turn off broadcast, ignore the player or don't even pvp.
And these I13 changes are not going to attract new pvp'ers. They are doing the opposite.
Good Lord man!
Do you need to Rez a dead thread to air your gripes?
With all these active threads that are available to you?
it's alive! ALIVE!
someone is a true master of necromancy! lo and behold! it's alive!
Also, if the trash talk frustrates, you, which it ends up doing to most. Please turn the enemy chat off.
But I agree with the OP. It seems like the few people who are total arrogant snobs (it's a small number) do the most chat in pvp. Unfortunately, this kind of post will probably do little or nothing to convince them to be more respectful because, arrogant people mock others to feel better about something they hate about themselves.
So, a group therapy thread for those arrogant players (once again, a small number, not most pvp'ers are that way) might be more helpful.
But, I took that suggestion by one of the rednames in the past to turn off opponent chat in pvp zones and it makes it much more fun to me.
Then I only have to occasionally /ignore people on whatever side I'm on who are saying what they RP they have done recently with another person's mom.

People are retards. True fact.

"I say, good sir, your mother would pvp better than you." or "I do believe I pwned your mom in an arena the other day. Pip pip. /monocle"
[/ QUOTE ]
I can see the appeal of saying this. I'm gonna go do it.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well ... maybe those I could see as being fun. (Especially when the monocle gets involved.)
