Pride in PVP

[doubleabattery]

What causes rushing? What makes your feel bad? The unability to win or opponent using what we would call cheap tricks such as 'running', 'tree hugging', early shielding, etc.

Imagine if your someone good, or you know that you can win most people or some specific people. They ask you to 'go'. You 'go' then you lose. I'm sure that you would be like, ' Oh, I lost to him because I didn't concerntrate or giving him chance, maybe lazy to be fast enough? He dodged/I missed one attack thats why I lost. But I know I can own him'. Then I would bet, for most people their next thing you would do is to want a comeback by having a rematch to prove that you are the superior one.

After some time in PVP, I have realised that people go through a few stages.
1)Having fun, first time in PVP
2)Getting better
3)Becoming even better then knowing who you can defeat easily or able to
4)Compliments come in, now your one of the better PVPers
5)Getting rushed and teamed by 'average' PVPers, knowing that you could beat them in 1v1 easily
6)Thinking of quitting when these 'noobs' in your mind defeat you easily by teaming.
7)You give up and rage or feel sad then purposely messing up for your 'fans' that compliment you to see that it was a purpose lose.


I am sure that MOST of you out there (Maybe not all) have been through at least 2-3 of these stages listed above.

For myself, (Denug/Wardrops), I have personally been through these stages and I liked the compliments I got and that caused me to think I was one of the best voodoos. (Laughs! Long time ago!) Who doesn't think they are one of the best after winning alot of people and getting compliments like 'wow, your good' 'how are you so good?' 'your so good can you teach me?' 'wow good kdr!'(Alot of people kill boost these days :/)? Hahaha!

These compliments make you think that you are good which I think it means that you would only lose to certain players. Once these 'average' players ask you to 'go' and you lose in front of your 'fans' (the people that compliment you), most people would do what is stated above, make a comeback and prove to the 'fans' that your better.

There are many many other types of players but I feel that this is the most common 'trend' that is happening in PVP currently. I do believe that there are still humble PVPers out there! And this is not a rant but just how I feel! And don't tell me your the best mage or your the best nuker To be honest, I have heard that more than ten times.

Happy PVPing!

P.S. I PVP at 35....... So it may be different at other lvls.
