I was refering to a SUBSET of the generic PvP'er, namely those who intentionally engage in PvP for the purpose of pissing other off. Again, if that is a good fit for YOUR playing style then I make no appology to you as you are not worth the effort. If however you are part of the large majority of PvP'ers that engage in PvP for fun and the competative element of it then it isn't directed at you. And you using the term "whiny carebear pussies" wouldn't bother me personally as I am not one. Either way your point is at best moot, at worst self incimination from you.
Yeah unfortunately comments made as a bit of fun can are easy to be misunderstood. Would this have made my point clearer: -
LOL why don't all you angry PvP'ers go find a game with pvp. Too much pent up agression here...as usual. Go get laid guys.
Actually would me saying "you totally missed the point of the thread if that is your opinion" change it? I personally don't think the thread has been about people complaining to the devs, just a few comments that the devs themselves have stated what THEY think is unacceptable. You can argue with me all you want just you don't have a leg to stand on when trying to argue with the devs.
It is a shame you didn't actually get the point I was trying to make here. Put simply, a system would not be introduced if the system that the devs introduced was done so in good spirit. Unfortunately some people, this small subset of PvP'ers, abuse their system, the devs don't like how it is being abused and so change it. Again, if people played within both the system restrictions and ALSO within social restrictions (that we should all have learnt as children about how to play with others) then these changes would NEVER be required.
If the people who were complaining were making invalid requests or the devs didn't agree, the changes wouldn't take place. I cannot make it any clearer then that. The REASON for these changes is because the game design the devs have is not working as intended. And unfortunately asking people to "please don't act like an arse, play hard but play fair" just does't work. So they introduce hard coded restrictions.
ANY competative activity requires an enforced set of rules, not because people don't understand the reason for them, but because some people just do not have enough self control to stay within them. And PvP, despite it's virtual setting, is a competative activity.
