I was going to get into that, but like you I didn't want to get into a long, drawn out argument. I'll just say that the only thing dumb is you thinking a player is more difficult to kill than a mob.

I was unaware that players do the same exact thing each and every time you fight one? Maybe at the level of bad at which you pvp at. Then again, you did complain about having a hard time beating a mage with a feral druid...


You have to be trolling because even I cannot believe you're that dumb.

The only difference between a player and a mob is the number of abilities available for them to utilize at any given time. Once you know these abilities and are able to mentally track their cooldowns, players become as predictable as mobs 99% of the time.

Try not to be so obtuse in your thinking, not everything is as you perceive it.

Obtuse....again, because like a pve boss, players will use the same moves, in the same order, at the same times, each and every time. We're not talking about the bads you are playing against in random no rating bg's. Try and fight someone who actually knows what they're doing, and not bad pally #75678676876 who opens each fight with hammer of justice. No wonder you're bad at pvp.

I didn't say they do the same thing every time, I said they become predictable. If you're going to insist on trying to argue with me at least read what I type.

 

-----signature-----

Please enlighten me as to how they are predictable. Since, you know, you aren't fighting the same people but an entirely different group from bg to bg. I'll try to better read what you write when you actually stop to think before you write.

Assumptions make you... you know what you are anyway.

I couldn't care less. What I enjoy is killing the bosses, beating the odds, I couldn't care less about what some random player without skill standing on the IF mailbox to impress the noobs wears. If it makes them feel better, so be it, please give them some loot for spending an evening wiping, it may actually reduce the whining of the scrubs. I've always defended the DIFFICULTY of dungeon/raid encounters, difficulty needed to keep them interesting - I really couldn't care less how people get their gear. All I want is that the scrubs don't get bosses nerfed into oblivion to compensate their lack of skill, gear doesn't matter.

Thing is, gear in PvP also affects OTHER people - those you kill or who get killed without a chance to fight back because they are undergeared. That's why even the losing side must get paid for the effort they made fighting. What you wear in PvP directly affects the opponent, it's different from PvE.



I wasn't aware I had that power. Not to mention those standing in major cities being condescending are usually the scrubs with welfare epics, the raiders have better things to do.
But if I made a couple of nuisances like you quit, the community can only be better. I'm still impressed I'm able to do that, you guys must really be weak minded to worry so much about what other people just standing there do that you quit the game. Don't let the door hit you where it hurts, and good riddance.

This board is so much easier to understand when I just remember that people who have WoW "skills" and take the time to master such a delicate and complex game should be rewarded for putting in so much effort.....

Sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face any more.

Ironic that the ones calling people "special snowflakes" are the ones that are getting bent out of shape because others can obtain the same gear by (gasp!) not putting in as much time. So you will be a little *less* special snowflake? Awwwww. Maybe we can somehow fit your character with an actual E-peen representation that can grow with every kill. That way, everyone can see how much better you are than everyone else with just a glance. Problem solved!

If a casual plays 25% as much as a "hardcore" player, he will earn 25% as much honor (all else being equal). He will take 4 times longer to get the gear. I don't understand the problem here. You're being rewarded proportionally for the time you put in.

There are too many factors involved to say loser deserves nothing, but I do think the ratio of spoils for winning vs losing should be more extreme to encouraging winning.


The problem is, it wouldn't encourage people to do things differently at all, because there are just too many "who gives a crap" players in WoW.


I'll add to this rant by saying, I wish PvP gear didn't have itm lvls in regards PvE content. I'm really tired of seeing nublets in full PvP sets doing 4k in heroics - wrong gear, and no clue how to play. Makes me wonder how they can possibly be anything other than fodder on whatever PvP server they accidentally rolled on.
