World of Warcraft sighting...

[Randomguy] whispers "Hey! What's that guy doing in the corner? Is he taking a piss? Guards, there's a guy pissing in the corner!"
[Me] "Sorry, I looked all over and couldn't find a single bathroom in IF. I really had to go."
[Randomguy] "Yeah. These Dwarves drink so much that they've gotten really good at holding it I guess."

Naw, ye just arc it into the forge fires or molten pit. The local brew is potent enough that it just adds to the combustables.

Oh that's simple. what they do is PvP Flag themselves, then jump into your AoE attack... say like, Frost Nova

Which flags you.

Then they kill you.


I had an 80 Paladin try it against my death knight... what he didn't realize is that the AoE I was using, was a weapon proc, not a castable spell... and doesn't cause any damage to the enemy after the initial proc (only increases my own dmg), so it wouldn't turn on my flag.

I laughed in his face and kept killing. Just had to be sure not to trigger Death and Decay, THAT would have screwed me

WoW has no penalties or risk to dying in pvp so what is the problem?

I think Darkfall might have something like that - if they ever release it...*sigh*

Darkfall is going to be uber, my gaming group is going to be starting a clan on release anyone on this board is welcome to join if they are playing DF.

I signed up for the beta, I'm gonna guess it may be too late for me. But who knows? I'd like to see how it plays before I decide to sign up when it goes live.

i love wow, but sometimes, the level of whining over minor issues drives me crazy; no, it's not perfect, yes, there are things that you may not like. yes, you are paying for this, but guess what? so are god knows how many others who are fine with it or don't see it as a big issue, so deal and get back to playing. kthnxbye.

i also like funny names; i have one for my main...lol.

You mean aside from the hassle of having your questing interrupted and having to run half way across a zone, and waiting for the PvP flag to turn off before you can rez, because some douchebag thinks it's cute to pick on other players that are 20 levels below him?

Yeah... I see no problem with that whatsoever

One of my more irritating encounters (aside from horrible PuGs) was on my priest during BC. I played a holy priest and was too stubborn to respec, so questing was irritating and I usually didn't do a whole lot, especially after hitting 70. As a result, I hardly ever had much in the way of money.

At one point I bought a blue-quality gem for a spiffy new piece of armor I had won raiding. I advertised in Shattrath to get it cut, and got someone to do it pretty quickly. I made no mention of a tip in my request, nor did the guy doing the cut, but I still tipped 5g because I figure it was the polite thing to do. The guy then starts bitching at me about my low tip. He claimed that for his 500g pattern, he deserved at least double what I gave him, despite me just shelling out about 60g on the gem itself (I was really strapped for cash at that point). I apologize, explain my status, and try to end it there, but the guy keeps pestering me and trying to make a huge deal over about 5g. Charming. I switched to an alt for a while after that.

Some people don't want to spend half their game time running back to their corpse or with reduced stats due to ressurection sickness.

There is also the matter of forcing someone into PvP when they don't wish to partake in it. It is a form of griefing, and should not be tolerated by decent folk.
