What about interest in a 5v5 or 3v3 ladder?

It wouldn't last. Teams that want to play together wouldn't really be able to, since the numbers are so restrictive.

In general, more people find 8v8s to be more fun anyway.

I'd be interested in a 3v3-5v5 ladder because I like smaller matches and there'd be more competition, but the problem would just be that people have more than 3 or 4 friends they want to play with.

Here's an outside perspective.

Most casual pvpers have no clue what league is and even if they do there is a very vague understanding. I rarely hear anything official about league in zone PVP. Hell, even in zone.

People in zone will just as soon berate an arena player as they would a droner... It's difficult to have a discussion in broadcast about the ongoing league (or anything) when it is so cluttered with "mad cuz bad" and "omfg u so noob." Partially for that reason, there are moderated forums here and a Guildportal site for the league.

This is also true and makes it that much harder. Not that 10 more km/regens will make league that much more exciting anyway lol. Imma gonna give it a shot. Call me crazy but i'll search PVE for some dedicated players and see what happens.

I will lead the chorus of trash talking the LoLleagueKids that come into zone. Zoners have no interest in being gud. Just drop your recipes on the way out of zone.

I'd imagine they'd want a hobby that doesn't reflect the poor quality of their life outside of a video game. d;D

Playing video games is one thing, trying to be an jackass to as many people as possible in them just hints at a very sad person behind the keyboard looking to lash out at the world they feel in some way has wronged them.

Hey, keyboard psychology as if psychology needed any more of an affirmation that it's a pseudoscience.

Some people blow off steam by exercising, playing sports or beating their wives.
I like trash-talking in zone after a long day of work/school. I don't make personal attacks I'm just obnoxious and juvenile.
It's a video game, it's not IRL I'm not trying to make friends or win a popularity contest and I certaintly don't try to build psychological profiles of people over the internet.

I thought you were asking about yourself?

No, the statement was purposely general; hence the use of the pronoun 'anyone' and not the more specific 'I'.

I'm not a huge fan of passive-aggression though and I like to think you're above that as well.

http://legaldefinition.us/cyber-bullying.html

Cyber-bullying:

Cyber-bullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others.


It doesn't take a psychological profile or even a lot of thought to recognize the behavior your are striving to be so proud of points to a person with some sort of social deficiency. When it comes down to it, you openly admit that in order to "blow off steam" you put other people down.

Since you've already showed dismissive tendencies when someone tries to approach you about it, perhaps you or a family member could put me in touch with your primary care physician and we can see about getting you the help you need to lead a more healthy, well adjusted life style.

Mr. Liberty--

Tokyo's a troll that provokes people that still show some investment in cox pvp. At his worst, he bounces around rv ksing people. Or maybe supports Dahjee in defense of bad pvp mechanics.

Your wikipedia link is far more appropriate to your own sg. Denigrating write-ups of other people's performances in officials. Repeated harrassment of people for things as stupid as not practicing with you. Etc. It's pretty much summed up in your farm list and mission statement. Tokyo's not even close to being in the same league, and there's no group dynamic involved with him as far as I can tell.

I understand that saying "you're mad" is the oldest thing in the book. It's overdone to the extreme when it comes to PVP.

But damn. You mad.

Your statement might have actually held water if you didn't try to gloss over yellow's behavior as "Not all that bad" while trying to turn it back on not just the vocal members of WARE.gov, but the group as a whole.

I can only guess this is a last ditch effort to gain some footing back after the verbal thrashing you brought on yourself by taking shots at our guild portal site.

Saying "You mad" is something overused by this and I'm sure other online communities, but in this instance I think its hard to find a better sentiment. Your team lost some matches, so you start looking for other places to win something back, be it in aesthetics, art, a persons profession or whatever thread you have popped into following one of our members posts.

I regret to inform you, you won't find the win you were looking for in this thread.

Wow. In the time I took to post that, two other people chimed in to pretty much say the same thing?
