Well this is kinda a point that has been buggin me as of late. I personally am not a huge fan of PvP or FFAPvP. I was subbed to AoC n would read the forums. I noted often when a PvE player made a comment about the game, often it was replied with ' AoC is for PvP only' or a few times was 'Go back to your PvE server with all the other girls n kiddies.'
I have seen this stated on other forums for other games that are PvP/PvE as well. Often the PvE are reffered to as 'girly or carebares' cause we don't feel like PvP. So I am less of a man cause of this?
I have been shot once, stabbed twice, been in several bar fights, had 11 broken bones, had over 500 stitches and been married for 11 years and have 5 children. But I am less of a man cause I don't PvP in video games?
So because I am not in my moms basement, with a pack of redbull and twinkies, killin somebody else online I am less of a man?
Am I carebare? Do you think I actually give a dam what happens to another character in game? You think I could actually care less about your feelings if I killed someone in game? Frankly on the net I care about nobody, after all, chances are nothing done in a game on the net is really gonna affect my life at all.
Perhaps I don't PvP cause I don't wanna hear some 15 year old punk insulting me n feelin all touph cause he is overweight n sits at home much of the day to be able to move the keys faster. Or spends too much time hunting for the uber gear. Because Mom n Dad pay for his way, n he has no idea how to be a real man. I am sure most of the touph talkers in games would be on their knees crying if you pointed a pop gun at them!
I will pvp if it is part of the game. But if I can get away from it, I most certainly will. Not because I am afraid of hurting someones feelings, nor am I girly. I will stay clear of it simply because of the immature asshats PvP seems to bring to the table. Not all are bad, prolly the few loudmouths destroy the PvP image for the whole.
