The only time I've ever witnessed tea...Tichondrius. <_<<BR/><BR/>The only time I've ever witnessed teasing in our battlegroup based on server type was in an AV the day s4 came out (Tuesday). First time I've ever heard that, too. This troll priest from Silver Hand was being very polite when talking in bg chat and it warranted an "RP moar" type of comment from somebody. He laughed, though.<BR/><BR/>And Pike, I have yet to run into you in a battleground. What gives? Prolly for the better as I still go smush in two-three shots. Hahah!<BR/><BR/>I do have to say to one of the earlier comments, not all PvP servers suck at playing fair in BGs. But yes, the majority of them do, and it's a shame. Coming from Bloodlust, I've had really stellar groups and really sucky ones. A Ner'zhul premade is awesome because we almost always win and we work together well because we all know each other. Ner'zhul really is a tight-knit server even with a high pop. I know people Horde and Alliance side.<BR/><BR/>I have been in bgs, tho (I usually just pug them), where people are mean and rude, and it sways the battle. Too much internal arguing does not equal a 5-cap in AB.<BR/><BR/>But I don't necessarily think that all PvP servers are bad. Sure some of us may have a big "PvP ego" ("lookit at me I'm already in all s4 and I come from a big bad PvP server"<-- I know him), but I've also been in mostly PvE bgs that have the same problem.<BR/><BR/>Some people just suck. It doesn't matter where you are or what kind of sever you are on.<BR/><BR/>Tichondrius people are rather notorious for being rude, though.

I loathe PvP like I loathe RL bullies). So many people forget there's another person behind that toon they're interacting with, we aren't just NPCs in game for their amusement.

The only creepy stuff I get is "you stole my herb" to which I usually like to reply "and I am already high". I commend your patience, you a good woman to be able to take so much and remain so put together.

Six months later, I now run lots of instances with him and consider him a pretty good friend. Sometimes, like you said, it really is just someone who goes from zero to super-friendly very quickly. But caution is never a bad thing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1497957720007651405.post-13177585183002359512008-06-25T18:20:00.000-06:002008-06-25T18:20:00.000-06:00Very good topic and well put.

(People paid me but it was usually people I RPd with anyway who kinda knew me). And i'd compose songs and yell them in cities, etc. Anyway one dwarf kept asking me if I had any male gnome employees to be his sidekick. I had none it was just me.<BR/>But every few weeks he'd whisper me and ask if I had a male gnome employee. He said he wanted to "dress him up". I still shudder.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, it's funny how players from pvp servers give you no respect, but these same players are often the ones fighting on the roads and ignoring flags. Teamwork and achieving battlefield objectives are just not part of their repertoire. I used to lead WSGs and ABs but too often people would just say "go cyber on your rp server noob!" as they camped the enemy spawn point and the enemy was busy capturing nodes behind them.... /headdeskplutosdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13236419805800673064noreply@blogger.com
