As in all games threads pop up on the VG Forums talking about needed PvP fixes. What gets me is that as time has gone by they have become more convoluted and just generally dumb. Many proven X-Ebonlore hackers have even been embraced within the community just weeks after their ban. It was like, people disliked Mexa because he bragged about hacking but guys like Morlana and Tzigone who didn’t openly admit to hacking and get banned are “good people”. What kind of a dumbass would take the time to find out if someone is a good person when they cheat at video games?!?
I came to the conclusion awhile ago that the reason people are such bad PvPers in VG was because the better players left due to hacks and most of the more resilient player base came from games like EQ, DAOC, and SWG. The most current “discussion” is basically an argument that classes should have 100% player immobilization skills that last 20-30 seconds, abilities to 2 shot people, and the ability to hide right next to someone without them seeing you. Great competitive PvP balance there, right?
It makes you wonder how intelligent these people actually are. I mean, not just ignorant but truly stupid. This EQ -> WoW mentality has spawned some weird De-Evolved gamer that wants to bring 12 guys to fight 2 and have an “Easy Button” that they can push to insta-kill their enemy. In VG I’m in the thick of poor player skill but we saw it spreading to SB and now as far as player run UO servers.
When someone is in another guild they “hack”, when they’re in yours they’re “good people”. When some other class turns you into a sheep for 10 seconds it’s “unfair” but it’s “OK” that you can fear them for 30 seconds…and so on. I should have a button to to win and they shouldn't, right? Win at all costs to build that E-Fame!!!
It all just re-enforces my point that Developers should NOT listen to the random retards that post on forums. Even after 10+ years it still frustrates me more than anything because I just don’t like the idea that people are really this stupid and worse, getting stupider…
GAH!!!
It's getting to the point that I'm starting to feel that Devs may need to at least consider coding this behavior out of their games.

I think it's time to stop reading that forum. I think I'm losing brain cells trying to lower myself to that level in an attempt to understand.
