Why the experience nerf

[Occhidiangela]

I never said that you cheat, I said that I can only guess at the level differential between you and your victims. PvP is unbalanced enough that a pure PvP build should usually do the trick against a similar level built for PvM. I even understand the humor and roleplay elements behind the "save the master" game you play, if you will bother to go back and read my initial reply. Hence the title: laugh, at the funny premise, or spit, over the grief play.

Your analogy with conservatism is as full of holes as Swiss Cheese, which you compound with your line about corporate dominance being typical hyperbole. Conservatism has many facets and shades, as does Liberalism. Your applying it to the discussion at hand makes little sense: it is a matter of interaction with other people on bnet. It is all about in game courtesy and consideration of the other guy, which a PK, by his very actions, does not demonstrate. At least, if you are legit versus hacked to the gills, you show the integrity to "play the game within the bounds of the rules" per the spirit of the Lounge. That's all to the good. :)

I daresay I've read enough books to bury you with a half a dozen time over, thanks very much. I continue to do so, as one can never learn enough.

As far as "insult" goes, perhaps describing a grief player as an "arsehole" is a bit strong, even if accurate. If you consider antisocial behaviour to be a suitable way to interact with strangers on line, is "jerk" a better descriptive? "Inconsiderate player" perhaps? In any case, if the shoe fits, wear it.

Your defense, and the defense of any PK/griefer, that Blizzard empowers this method of play has some merit. Folks in public games need to beware of the predators out there.

That does not change the behaviour to "good" merely possible.

I can drive down the street and moon the congregation of the local Baptist Church as they leave on a Sunday morning, but is that suitable behaviour when interacting with other people? Is it considerate of them, even if I get a kick out of mooning them? No, of course not.

In any case, had you bothered to read, I also noted that I suspect that some folks rise to your challenge, and do not mind the added challenge.

So, take a few reading lessons yourself, and have a nice day. :)
