"Gankers in General"

[Diamondheart]

are not necessarily bad pvpers. Not a single person ever stated that ganking a lowbie made you good. You're spewing nonsense if you say "no good pvper's gank". That is a nonsense and impossible to prove, and a false statement in the proper context.

There is no way to say that anyone on Vanilla can be called a legitimately good pvper with the absence of arena. However the main guild officers of my PVP guild on Kil'Jaeden on retail are 2200 rated in arena every season and 2600+ in RBGs. And those individuals organize large scale wpvp raids as well as ganking parties to harass certain questing hubs. It's safe to say they are good, but when you're top tier some individuals like to have fun in wpvp.

Simple as that. It's fun to kill lowbies. Some of us have swimming pools that need to be filled with your tears. No one ever said we were good, and the statement that "no good pvper's gank" is silly. It's an unprovable statement similar to the things you generally hear American Republicans spouting constantly. Any good pvpers can get bored and find joy in wpvp. Get over it.

So, 3v3 2200 is below 5000 on the ladder... Not even on it... 2v2 made 1604 at high 2200s....

RBG 2600+? Hell, highest is 2535 and it isn't Kil'Jaeden.... Hell, you claim EU?.... Only one player in EU RBG made it on the ladder... FYI he is 2000s

Now that I have evidence of your lies, a gank once in awhile is Okay. What isn't okay? Sitting on someone's corpse wasting your time and that victim's. This happens sometimes for HOURS. My priest got camped in Burning steppes. I went to an alt. I came back two hours later to find the same hunter sitting on my corpse waiting... That is psychotic.

So I exaggerated, all i know is they have really high rating requirements to join any of their activities and i've seen 2300 -2400 req for an RBG on multiple occasions. Talk has it they push 2600 in past seasons. Idk WHICH seasons. Many of them aren't originally from KJ so they probably play with mains on multiple servers. It still doesn't disprove that high skilled players enjoy wpvp now and then. 2200+ is not a casuals rating by any means unless you're exploiting a broken class comp early expansion. Not to mention the guild has a 2k rating requirement for 2s and 3s, 1800 for everything else to join.

And it's not psychotic. Swimming pool s are large, and tears are needed to fill them. They will be filled.

So... You are a liar.

Ganking and camping in of itself does not give me pleasure, but there are circumstances under which it does. The biggest reason being REVENGE. If someone camped me or my fellow player, I will do the same (if not worse) to them. Sometimes it's fun to deceive people too... put on a friendly face, smile and wave, then (best done by rogues) ambush them (literally and figuratively).

I used to be bitter when I played alliance in retail vanilla wow, because I always left the low-level hordies alone, but a high level horde never passed up on a chance to gank me. But then I thought about it and... Horde and Alliance are enemies, not friends. You SHOULD kill enemy players. What I liked about vanilla wow was the dedication to your faction and the HATE towards the opposite faction - that's what made PvP genuine and fun, you HATED people on the other side. I want to see that again, I want to see a few troublemaking players kite Kazzak to Stormwind, I want to see communities form and major guilds become almost the leaders of each faction - very well known and rivals of the opposite faction. I want to see incidents like what this guy describes happen more (hopefully, without someone's death, but equally epic):

(He's playing CoD, but listen to what he says - I agree with him completely).
I've seen the funeral video before, but never heard the backstory, and the backstory makes it so much more epic. For what it's worth, I'm not trying to be insensitive to the issue, but I know if I was in that girl's place, I'd have loved a similar event to have occurred at my in-game funeral (she loved PvP, as do I).

My rogue IS named Citohcysp.

You could go to any WoW forum and ask players who are 2200+ and ask what they feel about WPVP. Some will say its useless, or dead. Others will say they enjoy maliciously ruining someone's day to the point they get banned by a Blizzard employee (because apparently that happens now). On a Vanilla server where activities are limited and wpvp is abundant, get ready to fill those swimming pools with your tears.

The definition of Insanity is repeating the same action, expecting a different result. Except, what happens when one does not expect a different result?

[Arise]

Then one has too much time on their hands to fill with stuff that involves no skill, no rewards and is at the expense of others.
That might be the definition of failing at life.

That might be the definition of failing at life.

But it's not. I'm finishing up my degree to become a pharmacist and make $100,000 a year basically anywhere I want. So clearly I'm not failing at life.

My swimming pool, fill it with tears.
