Not to mention, it can be looked at as extreme roleplaying. I'm largely a blue player personally, but do enjoy pvp...It's an entirely legitimate way to play EQ.
Asshattery goes on in PvP, but to suggest that it only happens there and doesn't in PvE like people do is completely absurd. Making generalizations about groups of people based on personal baises is the very definition of illogical and emotionally stunted.

It happens on the blue server, but there's less of it. Note that I'm only comparing blue99/red99, not live pvp servers to live pve servers. I play on both servers and I can unbiasedly say that the red community is far less understanding, far more ungrateful and entitled, and far less capable of expressing a coherent rational thought, than the blue community. It's not just that there are more griefers on red (I think most people on blue99 would grief too if it were legal), but that the community is mostly a cesspool of illiterate, narcissistic bigots who complain incessantly about everything.
Like I said earlier in this thread, I love eq pvp, I think it livens up the game and gives every class a purpose. But the community is mostly players from previous boxes who are used to walking all over GM's/developers and trolling them into changing things for their benefit. They aren't interested in having a fun pvp server for the long term, they only want to whine and cheat and claim victory when they grief people off the server, and claim bias/favoritism when they get banned for their douchebag behavior. |
