The real reason the population is declining is...

1) PvP XP loss is so negligible that it doesn't matter. The fact is, most casters are going to scream about it because it keeps them from rushing. (Small deterrent that it is, it works)

Wait, so PVP xp loss is so negligible, that people dont care about it, but yet it prevents them from dying over and over because of the xp loss sting.

Im loving the logic here.

This is like some redneck complaining about lazy immigrants taking all the jobs.

a good start to improving server population would be to quit making the server look like its full of douchebag asshats, aka all of you stfu and quit fighting on the forums. there is a pvp server for that!!!!!

Are you retarded or just slow? You've been spouting this same crap for 3 months and you've been wrong every single time. You are the only person on the planet that thinks EXP loss is too much right now.

FACT: PvP exp loss implemented to deter bind rushing, give meaning to death
FACT: PvP exp loss is so minor it is negligible and is largely ignored

pvp exp loss is stupid. guess what, some people are going to bind rush no matter what. you are just punishing everyone for something that a few will do either way.

Exp loss on pvp death isn't even a factor please stop complaining about losing 3%.

maybe not when your some fucking basement dweller with all the time in the world, but some of us have actual jobs and lives that limit our playtime, so 3% is a big deal.

This is why you see constant complaining about the exp rate on the pvp forums, but never do you see anyone complain about the exp rate on the blue forums

What a great observation!

Thanks for setting me up - I'll take it from here. No, really. Thanks buddy. Yep, I'll just take that microphone. Just head on to the back now. That way - yep.

Everyone, let's get a big round of applause for Lazortag! He sure writes eloquently, doesn't he?


Now that we've got to the meat and potatoes of the problem, I'd like to take it one step farther. See, the reason blue players don't complain about exp and red players do is explained fully in a recent study I conducted. Turns out, there are some very distinct differences between the average "bluebie" and a veteran red server player.

On average, most red server players:

• Have actual jobs
• Don't live with their parents
• Have had sex at least once
• Don't want to PvE for 300 hours just to get a meal ticket to PvP
• Preferred global chat channels over lonely "immersion"
• Are 99.7% better at PvP

The poll i made was something like 65% - 35%, im hardly "the only person on the planet" that thinks it was a bad idea.

You are just trolling because i dont agree with you.

I simply underlined that his statement was logically wrong. If people dont care about xp loss, then its not a deterrent.

It is a deterrent, people who like XP death just dont want to admit it for whatever reason. Its also a deterrent to fun, action-filled pvp, except for people who want to use the mechanic to control who gets to poopsock when. So now you got this low ass pop of basement dweller poopsockers. Like, those 130 people that were online on New Year's eve.

Ok now IM trolling, well, somewhat.

Don't ask me why bro, but it has something to do with truth and perception and all that jazz. I was never a psych major so...

I don't cry about w/e piddly little PvP loss there is, and people that I've fought will tell you I come at them with np. At 20 I don't think I qualify in the poopsocker department either, lol.

Its not logical, if people dont care about xp loss, its not a deterrent.

They cant be both at the same time, its simple.
