PvP Tournament...

Quote:I think perhaps Ashock's reaction may have been similar to mine: "Hmmmm, a PvP competition. This could be fun. I'll check it out and see if any of my old DSF buddies are interested." Some reading ensues, then some more reading, and then we get to the trash talking... "Rats, it just looks like it's only some 10 yr olds entering! My ancient reflexes wouldn't stand a chance. Oh well, it could have been fun otherwise."

Seriously though, the reason I, and a few others never really got into PvP was due to the fact that so many duelers manage to do such a great job of making themselves sound like complete jerks. While I'm sure most aren't, those sorts of impressions do last.

Hmm, this seems like a rather unfair and general observation. Many duelers can be jerks yes, but I think this really applies to people anywhere....d1 or otherwise, its hard to find nice people nowadays. That said, I try not to let these sorts of things get in the way. PvP is an artform itself of d1, and deserves the same respect as other areas of the game whether it be Ironman, co-oping, playing LOL or a number of other variants, or whatever it is you like to do best. Dueling is the ultimate test where players can test one anothers skill against eachother, and unlike monsters, people have flair and imagination so every person you play against will be a different experience. Naturally in any event like this, there is going to be competition, and due to D1 being a predominantly male played game, there is going to be a bit of testosterone about. But all in all, this event is turning out to be a positive thing, several older players have taken notice of it and have fancied a return to d1, and it has brought many different cultures together in the legit community as well.
