In BGs I only feel bad when it’s severely one sided.
In world PvP I don’t ever feel bad. I don’t corpse camp (unless they deserve it) and we both accepted the dangers of world PvP. In 10 minutes I’m sure someone will repay the favor. Ganking or being ganked helps reinforce that extra level of danger that we’re looking for. It keeps us on our toes and our heads on swivels. So I don’t really see a reason to feel bad when ganking.
What if I’m ganking with a friend? Is it still antisocal when I’m being social?

WoW is predicated in part on race war. To say participating in a fundamental premise of the game is anti-social is to fail to understand the game. Think about it. It is fantasy, but it is intended to foster cross faction homicidal play. It is game play. If too rough for you, that’s fine. But it’s completely silly to complain about it and, honestly, I am a bit embarrassed for you.

Because it’s clearly a one way street, right? I’ve seen plenty of the comments calling out PvPers as bad people IRL because they like to fight in game. A game with “war” in the title. Or calling PvP a minigame and mocking changes that negatively affect it. Oh, the number of PvE players basking in what they viewed as a victory when PvP servers were eliminated.
But aside from that, the vast majority of people most likely fall in the middle, and enjoy both aspects of the game. That is overlooked though, and people want to take the worst attributes of one side and lump anyone who engages in that in with the bad crowd.
That sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? looks at every media outlet on planet Earth That is what my comment was referring to. The “just as guilty because you didn’t crusade against it” mentality is exhausting.

Basically every time someone kills you on a PvP server, regardless of the circumstance, will be met with “PvP happened on a PvP server.”
So either roll PvE, be a victim, or be a sociopath.
I choose sociopath - For the Horde!
In Azeroth, victims are food.

Yep, if we’re going to call people sociopaths for playing a game, that word will lose all meaning.

Maybe Sociopath will be one of the names I put on reserve in August. One of the other guys can grab Carebear.

And for one of the shrillest opponent of all things PVP, I’m sure the name Borderline is available.

Yup. It’s about those fight or flight instincts. Some people are predators and some are food. I have canine teeth and my eyes are set in the front of my head to judge the distance to my prey…
If an apocalyptic scenario ever happens. I want the pvper types on my team. The food type people will be liabilities. Lol.

Well said.
Seriously, if a big portion of your enjoyment of the game focuses around griefing and making people (not toons, people) miserable IRL so that they /ragequit, you are f-ed up. It’s the equivalent of poking a chained up dog with a stick until it loses its mind because you know it can’t bite you or even defend itself.
Sure, wpvp is fun, but the griefing and camping is something different. To claim it’s all one in the same is a lie to cover antisocial behavior.

Is this why alliance lose bgs so much?
With all due respect, it’s not like that at all.
No one is “chained” to anything. It’s not like this kind of behavior should be unexpected when you voluntarily roll a character on a pvp server.

F-edup - another good character name. Too bad hypens aren’t allowed.
No doubt. . .
I just understand that that is the game. Thats the point/objective/purpose.
There are winners and losers, such is life.

With all due respect, if you are camping and griefing those who cannot fight back, it’s exactly like that. They can’t get away from you unless they /quit and that’s the point of what the trolls do. That seems okay to you? If you watched your kid do this to other people you would encourage it?
Honest question.
Dedicating your game time to griefing others to the point where they log off the game… and that’s the goal… not healthy my dude.
And again, griefing is different than wpvp. A fight is a fight, that’s all good and fun. But if you are trying to defend griefing/trolling/camping as “pvp happened” you need to be honest about what dynamics are at play and why that seems okay to you.

Report and move on folks.
It’s pure trolling to go into a game where whole purpose is war and to complain that it’s “bullying”.
You seem to struggle with the difference between a video game and live play.
Well… there are actually a few rules in modern war to try and keep a battlefield situation from descending into murder and genocide.
Perhaps the “game” based around “war” could take that into account? This was the thought behind DHK I believe.
