Solution: Give everyone the same gear (Class defined) for PVPing... make the rewards solely titles and "fluff" (good fluff) based purely on performance.


Thus everyone is on an equal footing, nobody benefits from afk botting and there is a true goal to acheive something in the BG.


I just don't understand why this has never been implemented. I like to PVP occasionally, but my gear is so terribad (as I rarely PVP) that there is no point.


Whilst I am sure there are supporters for the current system, I cannot understand what argument they have past the "i liek to killl n33wbs with my l33t gear"

wouldn't a more appropriate and simple solution be to award merit instead of the communist system we have now? as it is now everyone gets the same reward and we are forced to group and share kill points even. a stupid system that makes it so all you have to do is be logged on for many hours to get the rewards.


how about a system where if you do something you get rewarded for it and if you don't do something you don't get anything...sounds like such a crazy idea in mmos these days where everything is based almost entirely on the number of hours you spend. it would be fair to all roles...for example in warhammer you got extra points for the amount of hps you healed or the damage you did etc.


or they could make things really simple and just let us leave the group and make our own as they used to in bgs.


i am also reminded of how while leveling my druid using dungeon finder the last few weeks, so often a player would join the dungeon and then just sit at the entrance afk the entire time until he was kicked and leech a few bars of free exp. and we couldn't kick him for like 15 minutes because WoW is so communist.

I disagree. It doesn't make them bad people, just normal for taking the path of least resistance in a video game. I submit that the players playing by the rules like it matters in real life are doing it wrong as the system currently stands. Overall, though, it is the developers faults for making a flawed system and refusing to do anything to it.



Um. Yeah. Sorry, no. Cheating is cheating and not acceptable period. Maybe their parents are bad people for breeding and raising scumbags.

People who feel the need to cheat at a simple video game like WoW, via botting, buying gold, buying toons, etc, are just pathetic human trash.

Condoning cheating is even more idiotic.

cheating or buying gold and such in a video game may be lame, but its not an issue of morals or being good or bad...its just a game which is designed to be fun however it is played.


but the people who get all crazy on forums and such about it are human trash. maybe its their parents fault for breeding scumbags like that but its just not acceptable to get all crazy and insulting others over video games. its just idiotic.

The only reason people complain about cheaters is because they're winning.

Get some tiger blood or gtfo imo

Comparative morality FTL.

If you cheat, you cheat. Period. You lack ethics, you are doing something against the rules. Where and when you do this is inconsequential. Where does the slide rule end? If I punched you in the face, would it be okay to rationalize that I didn't actually kill you, so it is okay? Cuz that is what you are saying, that becuz it is only a game, it is okay.

If something is wrong, it is wrong, no matter where, when, why or how.

Wrong, it is absolutely about morals. Absolutely. Because you have weak morals and don't understand ethics is not a reason to proclaim cheating okay in any medium. The fact that is doesn't matter to you has no bearing on whether or not it is wrong.
