All is fair in Love, War and PvP.



I have never really been a Hardcore PvP'er, but I try to enjoy the most
of it while it happens. The best moments of PvP I had was at Zero-One
Archive where Zion took over the Merovingian Outpost. We were all
organised, had the right people who knew what they were doing. Nothing
really compared to the PvP that we all witnessed at Mara Central or
Tabor West.



I believe Hackers and Knife Throwers are a pain. They have to be really
skilled to use there loadouts, and the usual combo has to be the
Staggering throw, Throat cutting throw and then finished off by many
other people. I say well done for the organisation of attacks.



I remember a respected member of Recursion saying "IQ or CQ?". I
believe if you cant laugh over a defeat or say "Good Fight" then dont
participate in PvP. What is fair in PvP? Anything is fair, I try not to
gank, but we all fall victim to it, and laugh it off, and we bounce
back.

PvP is never meant to be fair, however, once you flag you are suscptible to multiple attacks from enemies.. you flag, you typed /pvp. So it was you who put yourself out on a line.

Sure hacker vs MA is not fair at all.. but untill they balance it out, thats what VD is for!
My rules in Pvp;

I will only attack someone lvl 45+
If someone is flagged below them, i will not attack, unless attacked first. Alot of the time its not a problem as i walk up to them and they either hyper jump away or scarper, but ONLY if they go to break my shield are they fair game.

I cannot stand spy's or knife throwers full stop, so will attack them without warning.
Gankage happens all the timem we cant escape it, so we must accept our defeat, and reconstruct.
HOWEVER, it is immature lower levels in a faction that trash talk or sit on you, begin dancing on you. (a plain lack of respect) they wind me up to the brim, so they go down on my hitlist. SMILEY

I have been zion since awakened, but recently turned mero because of zion's numbers. (and as mentioned above immature players) Yes i dug my own grave, but it is a choice i have made, i will accept the consequence's and will not stoop to bitching if (or should i say when) i get ganked.

My main rule is to have fun, thats what its all about SMILEY

I'm pretty sure there were no hostile servers in beta. You could go to the archives to pvp but that was it.


and in that great big lump of text  I disagree. Hostile servers make you pvp a lot more and i have no doubt that the truly dedicated pvpers on vector could wipe the floor with the pvpers on other worlds. You asked a machine who said he rolled 250 - he wasn't the cream. The cream on vector are the people I attack with the knowledge that if I do one thing wrong they will obliterate me.
