Your personal rules of random PVP?

[Savingsupertokyo]

What does postcount have to do with anything? I care less than nought what my post count is or what yours is. I write from the position of feeling that what you did was wrong and that my own actions are justifiable.

that i can respect. RESPEK KNUCKLES

You're right I did overreact with my sarcastic response. My only defense is that your post came across as a bully crowing about his conquests.

understandable. no harm no foul

If I am running with folks I regularly PvP with yes I am flagged. If I am running with folks I know that are not into PvP I respect that they may not wish to be delayed while I fight members of the other faction. If I am soloing and run across a flagged horde I will flag as well. Sometimes we size each other up and go our seperate ways. Othertimes its a battle royale.

wow. im truly impressed

Truthfully in WorldofWarcraft there is no "enemy" at this time. The Horde and the Alliance exist in a tenous peace. Striking at a civillian populace (women and children) where no declaration of war exists is generally viewed to be acts of murder and terrorism. But lets drop the meaningless war analogies. I've already explained that I frequently suffered for my choices to not attack someone when they were weak. But at least I know that I've never knowingly ruined someones fun by ganking them while weak. I know on at least a few occassions when I was on the PvP server that I ran across someone who I had "spared" when they were weak and been shown the same courtesy. I also vividly remember my levelling slowing or quests being ignored because I was responding to calls for help from lower level characters being attacked in the Arathi area.

the "enemy" on my server would tend to disagree :shuriken:

but i understand where you're coming from. i just don't play it that way, or expect to have it played that way. there are notable exceptions though. Let me share a story.

A few weeks ago I had rounded up yet another 10 man strath group in my neverending quest for AD rep. Four of the ten had already landed in LHC and were waiting around on the rest of the raid to land and head our way to Stratholme. While we waited we decided to clear the area of alliance scum for some HKs and hopefully some group pvp action. First we killed the flight master to ensure a captive audience. Fair or not? I'm not sure, but she was PVP flagged. We cleared groups that came into our "turf" and chased them off when they rezzed. This is the notable part of the story. A well known alliance rogue landed and we pounced on him. he quickly /no /no /no and then /point at the other mage in our group. They have something of a love/hate arch-rival relationship.

We backed off and let them fight. The rogue got the better of the mage and we /laugh at our comrade and /bye the rogue. He won the fight fairly and we let him go.

Shades of the strip and dance or die debacle from Beta.

hardly. i demand nothing from anyone for their life. they die unless i see something that makes me chuckle. clever name? go on youngun. clever guild name? run along. funny series of emotes? heh, i like you kid, get outta here.

Did you truly feel pride in what you did? Else why bring up Karma at all if you were in the right?

pride, no. indifference, yeah. I said it was karma because I broke my rules. His guild tag made me laugh and I killed him anyway. In my defense, I didn't notice the tag until he had already crumpled to the ground.
