This is a suggestion for the player's, not the admins.

Now I know I'm going to get face-palmed and disagreed with and generally down voted, but I'll chalk it up to those that don't have or want what I'm going to discuss here.

I would like to see some sort of sportsmanship in PVP. Enough with the random ganking like a bunch of highway bandits. It's great that you are level 65 <insert class here> but you don't need to prove how great of PVP'er you are by going around and slaughtering everyone who isn't. If you want to have a real challenge for PVP, try suggesting ways to the other person to improve their game and get better.

/msg from KillerOMGIRox "hey, i noticed that you rely on X skill alot, but against my class that doesn't really help, try using Y instead"

/msg to KillerOMGIRox: "wow i never knew that before thanks"


If you kill someone who is massively lower level than you, don't camp their ass for the next hour. Let them move on and level up, then later it might actually prove to be a fair fight.

"But I don't want too, i like killing newbs pl0x, lawlz cry moar, suxx0rs to be you"

Well be that as it may, lack of sportsmanship does turn off a lot of potential players from the server. It makes it look like everyone here is a bunch of juvenile jerks that just sit around and gloat at how much better they are than everyone else.

<monotone-sarcasm> Awesome, your E-peen is the biggest on the server, wow, good for you, time to move on and find a better place for me to have fun that isn't here</monotone-sarcasm>

In all seriousness though I'm fairly sure that most people here would hate to be on the receiving end of such poor show of sportsmanship. I'm not saying don't PVP, I enjoy PVP. What i don't enjoy is a one sided fight where one person has no chance of retaliation and is constantly loosing all their hard earned gear because they can't collect it from their death chest in the allotted time frame.

"Go play on shrine then you cry baby"

apparently you didn't read above, I enjoy PVP. I don't enjoy being camped or fighting one sided battles where I have no possible chance of winning. Read: Level 65 vs Level 1-20 WTF Man?!?!? 3 or more players vs 1 low level player; seriously are you that desperate to be such an asinine bully? That's akin to a highschooler picking on a kindergartener.

This poor showing on our part really sets the tone for new people who are just joining on the server. Go ahead, raid to your hearts content! Fight group battles! Challenge other player's to Duels! Being able to 1-3 shot a new person just joining the server is only going to KILL our potential player base.

Remember few people will tell their friends how great something is. Everyone will tell their friends how much something sucks and how they had zero fun before finally getting so disgusted they just left (Hello...!! rage quitters anyone?!?!)
