Who started it?
So I was thinking about the infamous topic of RUSHING.. I know that Micah had a thread discussing the different sides of it and the positive and negatives, but who exactly started the "go" and the "rush"? Was there like a specific guy that people started to follow? I need answers quick, I'm dying to know this because this rushing stuff is ridiculous.

You didn't read the thread.. I love rushing too. I'm just wondering who started it and if theres a specific person who started this "trend". I've been roaming the forums with no luck, so that's why I'm asking here.Originally Posted by synfullmagic_23110:1658904

I'd say the first person to ever play the game. We all were noobs once and spammed skills in places.

All pvp used to be rushing. The correct question would have been who started the "go" system
Nothing related to any players or drug references because they already got me into trouble
This. Yes, I'm sorry, this is the correct question.

That's not entirely true. On the one hand, there are no built in mechanics for the go system, but on the other hand no one "invented" the idea of go. At least not recently. The idea of, "the go system" has been around for thousands of years. You can literally go all the way back to Assyria, Persia, Israel, etc. They would often settle conflicts between entire armies by pitting champions against one another in a "1v1" kind of duel. And then of course Ancient Rome has gladiator arenas which would often consist of two gladiators versing each other.
Specifically for mmo's the go system has always been around. In some games, it has a built in function, but in others it does not. Believe it or not the "go" system even made it into Guild Wars 2, which does not currently have a built in dueling system.
In other words, to answer the original question, no one knows who ultimately invented the system but it's been around as long as ffa has. You might ask who the first player was to introduce it to PL, but that seems irrelevant to me considering that he wouldn't have made it up and there were probably several people who all had the idea.
Now, the interesting thing is that "rushing" has never been around in any games. Pocket Legends is very unique in that you can rush people 3v1, and 2v1, and pick and choose who you are enemies with to your advantage. In most pvp mmo arenas, there is great reason for you to work with your entire team in a complete free for all. This generally would benefit you and your team the most. In pocket legends, there is no reason to do so. In Pocket Legends we have a unique kind of almost "gang" system where the guys on top can't be messed with or they, and all their "fellow gang members" will rush you and shut you down. Guild wars 2 doesn't have this because there is no benefit in "rushing someone" even in a go match. It literally gains you nothing and will probably get you booted from the server.

Ofc, lemme remind again. Pretty sure a person said it before on this thread xD. If "Go" didn't exist, then "Rush" will cease to exist, because "Rush" is the term that shows somebody going against the "Go" system and not "Calling". Am I not right? Wait... Isn't this thread like on Pg.2 of the newer threads ATM?
Nicely put Micah
Who started it?
Tbh "go" isnt bad if you want to fight someone, but in lower lvl pvp it's hard to get a FFA going with everyone agreeing, and if you "rush" them you get hunted and teamed. Soooo, we just need more rushing/teaming guilds like dog so more people will actually FFA. The only problem is bears, if its a team of bears, they will just all beckon stomp and the opposing teaming will be wiped out, again NERF rage...
Yeah well contrary to popular belief, "go" didn't start as a way for good pvpers to get a better KDR. It's merely a solution to the issue of imbalance. (And a good way to settle a dispute over who can beat who) You should find that the more the game is balanced, the more FFA that results from it. I mean there will always be people sitting around wanting to 1v1. But the majority of the pvp population likes lots of action. It's just no fun when a team has three of the op class wearing the op weapons, if you know what I'm sayin'.
