Even trash has changed, diminished

So I'm in the house and my GF shows up, i made a previous bargain, where i let her make a toon and play on my account from time to time, to keep the aggro down. She usually gets on a team and does the whole pve thing np. But today, i was in freedoms PD and she said she wanted to try and arena someone, i figured it would be funny to watch her get wrecked so i said go for it. Now, it just so happens the one toon she made is a ss/elec brute, she has a few io's i gave her but nothing really else, but it was fotm therm day in the arena. Like every other person was thermal something, so she ended up dueling a mind/therm troller.

So the fight begins, and with aidself and using the 2 range attacks she had she lasted the whole 10min. During the fight the troller is like don't think your good or anything, I'm sorry for not killing you sooner blah blah. But this death never happened in fact, 2 seconds to SD she taunted and stole the win with a mace attack. OMG the cursing began it was funny, how mad ppl get over a game. Your toons trash, your not on my level, don't think your good, so on and so forth. I can imagine a new pvpr probably would be discouraged from stuff like that, your damned if you win your damned if you lose. So they verbal pvped for like 10min and the troller wanted a rematch so she agreed.

When SD hit she poped greens and had another tie, what ever happened to the good ole days when you only talked smack after a win? She even said GF and the troller was like screw your GF your no good, your toons trash. lol Times sure have changed, i guess the troller is supposed to be good or something, or atleast thinks they are idk i never seen her. But if you read this you should stop considering your self so good, you lost to someone who on their very first pvp fight they beat you, and the worst part you lost to a girl who can't really even play games.

That's also a hidden message to castle, because on the other hand our pvp allows someone as non skilled as her get wins by default. The trollers insults really didnt make sense though, like lol a brute who builds for max hp and uses aidself. I read that and i didn't get it, or lol you speak like you can beat me. But the troller just lost and tied against a total non player, she might play once a month if that.

But anyway i just wanted to share that with yall, i felt it was a interesting tidbit, and kinda shows a sample of how far pvp has sunk. Aion is looking kinda good indeed lol.

lol. Wow. Who was the ragebad controller?

And yeah, that's dumb. People need to get back into the GL/HF spirit of things. When we started saying that, we actually meant it. GG used to actually mean good game, too. Good game as in "Thanks for the match, that was fun!". Now people use GG as an insult. As far as trash talk... good trash talk was never serious, and was best when not used after a win or loss, but rather to kill time between matches.

What the hell mayne. Shite be all ****** up now.

I woulda told the troller to get wrecked and keep repeating that every time the nublet said anything.

I then woulda lold at the troller for losing to lol melee and accused him/her of being an ae noob who only just power leveled their toon and had no idea what they were actually doing.

Oh ya that woulda pissed him/her off good weather true or not.

If there's one thing I've noticed from Freedom RV and (LOL) Justice RV/arena it's that bad players have started getting big heads. You can tell they're bad just by how they move (or don't) and use their powers, yet if they lose they start throwing excuses at you like they're two and can't handle it, and if they win you never hear the end of it. Hell, a few weeks back I ended up jumping into an amusing 2v1 arena match: Spines/WP and WP/SS against my Rad/Psi, and I ended up winning 5-0 in 10 minutes. Some of the stuff they were saying was hilarious - "You only won because you move around" or "You only won because you use inspirations." Hell, there've been times on my Spines/Regen where I've been yelled at in broadcast because "melee ATs aren't supposed to kite."

Cheater!

I once three wayed with mac and flea. I still wake up in cold sweat when I dream about it.

I need to come to this arena event thing of which you speek, might be as entertaining as argueing with an ice blaster that MA for stalkers is OP and that blasters need Hide and Crits.

Its true, logic and actual sense plays no part in this game, at least before I13 the bad players were halfway decent in PvE. I met a "Dueling" Earth/kin troller today that had Group Fly and the Med pool rez and said he was a team build, then declined team invites and finally refused to duel an EM/Elec brute becuase he said the brute was a sapper. . . .

*facepalm*

He put me on ignore after i farmed him for half an hour and ended up gettin some pvp io off him after like the 16th or 17th kill.

I enjoy raging on people when i win the match.

Thank you for sharing Ravens, that made me laugh.

Though that Mind/Therm Prolly wasn't very good I can't help but notice you said she was an SS/Elec Armor Brute Agaisn't the mind/therm...

Elec, at least on paper, looks like Thee /Therm Hunter

LOL Flying/sniping Blasters





The Flying/Sniping Corruptor is where it's at. :P

This type of "broadcast pvp" certainly does discourage many folks from participating in pvp. Most folks are playing for fun, and don't enjoy the verbal assaults that accompany a lot of pvp encounters.

People have been doing this (crying, whining, complaining, making excuses) since day 1 of CoX pvp, so this is nothing new.

The "hidden message to Castle" is pretty funny, as though no noob could have ever won a duel in the old days. Please.
