    Default Unhealthy Egos... (another thread about fixing PvP) *laughing out loud*

    Hello! So I am approaching this in "different" way, but I've recently been playing L10-L20 and I absolutely love it! Except the fact that because some classes absolutely dominate other classes, players develop very unhealthy egos... THIS IS NOT ME RANTING... I am just saying it makes the PvP atmosphere very hostile. Not in fighting terms, but in a flaming and trash talking way! I know there has been many other threads talking about rebalance and I'm almost as certain the DEVS are getting sick of hearing it, but please! Giving all the classes a fighting chance, in their own unique seperate way, to actually win will soften up the tension between the players!

    Yes the low level ranges especially, have a lot of players who have developed big egos. I don't do below 30 anymore but I still know what you mean about 10-20. 30-45 also has some players with big egos but not nearly as much as those 10-27s. I was on a 30 and my game ended up merging into a 25 game and then a 20. And in the 20 game there were a bunch of 15s who thought they could trash talk and rush/team me even though I was clearly a level 30 when I was using iceberg. The newer players especially think they are better than everyone else because they have only played PL when it had op gear and a lot of unbalance.

    Eh 70% of the l35-45 games are awful. It is now normal to be teamed 3 to 1 on a daily basis. I'm not ranting, it is just as easy to leave the game lol. But its tough to not be able to kill much. People rarely trash talk to what I have seen. It is just impractical to fight 3-1.

    70% of the games are not teaming in 35-45. I play that range every day for most of the time I'm playing and rarely am teamed and when I am there's always plenty of people to help.

    Well, I joined 6 games in the past 2 hours and 4 of them I was teamed, I also have pics. I played for about 3 hours yesterday and I was mainly teamed there as well. I have seen nubish and thescarybeary on a few times. Bro, it is extremely rare to ever be helped while being teamed. I have only seen about 4 players be willing to help another player while being teamed, out of niceness.

    Its true, I don't get teamed as much in 30-35 pvp as much as I do in 16 pvp.
    In 16 pvp, I get rushed/teamed/trash talked mostly for being a rhino.
    And I kill them afterwards countlessly after they had a full hot steaming plate of satisfaction from insulting me.

    Winning the battle when it seems impossible is especially glorifying, but people take that glorification one step too far. Gloating, slandering, boasting, and trash-talking ofc.

    Easy solution, Remove chat from the Arena, maybe PvP would actually work as intended and would finally kill off the go etiquette. I don't understand how that came about, as" Go" seems the common ground for hostility or rather the lack thereof.

    I would not agree with this since i love to talk to other people in the arena! Thats where probably most PvP'ers do there socializing! Also the underpowered classes would immediately make the perfect target for the OP'ed classes... then PvP will just be full of the OP class in most levels! Not about that life

    There's also the fact that some people do ffa and they need to strategize with teammates so they would need to use the chat

    Then only enable chat that only your team can see but not the opposing team.
