Lol, can't wait to see exile's response to this ;)

I already responded. I hope said response meets with your approval, Kimosabe.

Odd that you treat two people saying the same thing so differently, along with your user name (I hadn't caught it till another poster pointed it out) I'm even more sure now of your status as a returning banned user and will PM a mod shortly. Someone with a grudge against me as well, by the look of it - PM4E?

Wow, and I thought you were ending our little argument, as I was about to do. Guess we're not done! You really must be ultra conceited and incredibly paranoid if you think someone has enough of a "grudge" against you to create an account just to post in your threads. Since, by your past "childish" insults and banter, you don't seem to be very bright, I'll point out, yet again, the website in my signature, www.exilera.com. Please PM a mod if you'd like.

"Odd that you treat two people saying the same thing so differently,"

H y p o c r i t e. I noticed you didn't respond to "Elfenix's" post, even though he basically condoned "ganking", just like I have. I just find it so incredibly amusing that you'd call me "dumb", "illiterate" and "childish", considering you make such obvious and moronic mistakes in your arguments.

You need an entry for "I primarily PvP, and I have no idea about the maturity level of PvE server, nor do I care because the PvP servers are fine enough for me".

Maybe your lack of self-exploration keeps you from seeing the obvious, but you are a troll. Returning user or new user doesn't matter, it's visible to anyone.

Ganking, depends on what your definition of Ganking is. I don't see anything wrong with a group of players killing a solo player while xping, which is the common definition for the term, I think. It's part of the game, and honestly, everyone knows what they're getting into when they create a character on a PvP realm. People can expect to be killed, even if the odds are unfair. It has nothing to do with maturity; it's just the way the game is. Really, there's no way around it. No group of 60s is going to allow a lone 60 to just run up and past them without being harassed. It just doesn't happen.

WoW does a good job with PvP in my opinion. There's no looting, no xp loss; only 30 seconds or so of time wasted.

The entire lack of skill or reward is exactly why it's immature. There is no profit in doing it, and it only further frustrates another person. You see a night elf, I see a player. That's the difference between you and I.

Something about a pot & kettle comes to mind... I dunno, maybe it's all the threads you post in solely to make offensive comments ;)

It's not entirely surprising how quickly you avoid the focus of the discussion, pretty typical for someone of your personality. In any case, any offense caused to yourself is of no concern to I or any poster, considering the content. Maybe if you actually read them you wouldn't lash out with assumptions based on your own expectations, not reality.

Wow, you went off topic to call me a troll - when in fact you're the epitome of forum trolls - and call me on going off topic when I offhandedly mention how much of one you are in return? :p

I think you're taking this religious thing a little too far bud, it's been .. what 3 months since the bible thread where you went off on me and anyone else who wasn't christian and just made a fool of yourself in general? The time for tolerance is here ;)

I'd say they are about the same overall. I don't really equate competitive nature with maturity in practice, though at some philosophical level I suppose I do.

I'm more of an exploring type person. I like interacting with people and meeting different people and exploring the various facets of a game. I don't mind being on my own and would prefer a very small guild that did nothing together but chat over a large one that had strict requirements (be they requirements of policy, dedication, having to level characters at a certain pace, whatever).

I think the PvP mentality is a little different. It's a bit more guild-based and competitive. Thrill seeking. I prefer competition and thrills in other types of games, no so much in MMORPGs.

You keep spouting off hypocritical BS, constantly~ You epitomize the definition of a community forum Troll to a 'T', buddy! It's especially obvious when every single post you make is filled with "childish" insults and meaningless BS. In 10s of posts, you have yet to form any sort of argument that gives me the imprssion that you can come up with an intelligent retort.

primarily PvE; I find people on PvP servers to be more immature than PvE, but I've found people on RP servers to be more mature than both.

Don't you have some kind of retort to post that doesn't make you look like a raging, conceited whiner?

A troll posts with the intent of riling people up. Posters like you and Malak fill this role perfectly. I'm headed to a raid, but I'll search & post some (of the hundreds) of examples by Malak later. If you'd 'fess up as to who you were before you were banned, I'd do the same for you ;) A discussion board is meant for discussion. It's unfortunate that, due to intolerance for anyone different than them, children such as yourself are unable to do this in a civil manner. Keep in mind that you've taken the offensive here; I've merely defended myself. I know it may be tough to see this in your current & constant 'foaming-at-the-mouth' state of mind, but rest assured - it's accurate.

Oh, and I can spell 'impression' ;)

Feel free to, you only shower yourself in the light more. I find you to be the oddest troll I've ever met. Most are quite proud of themselves, when you in fact are in complete denial. It's quite fascinating.

I play ffxi... there are no pvp servers. You can participate in a nation vs nation form of pvp called ballista where you can get experience points for winning. Though ffxi wasn't really designed for pvp, I would love if I could just kill people that piss me off instead of switching to beastmaster and dropping an aggro pet near their party (but then a GM gets called and I get in trouble so its not the best way to accomplish the task of killing a moron).

FFXI was my worst MMO experience. Didnt enjoy my 3 month stay at all after the first week or 2.

Anywho, are malak, Gurck and exilera from PvP servers? All 3 showing the general lower maturity level Ive seen on most PvP MMO's.

Just a general observation.

I know Gurck isn't, I am though, and the maturity level on the server I'm playing on is pretty high.
Though I must say, after having tried the Honor System for a little while yesterday, if left a sour taste in my mouth.
It effectively removed all traces of skill from PvP and turned it into a huge lagfest.

Wanted to comment on this - I have in particular because of a belief I have about talking with children. Many people tout the importance of being the bigger man, not sinking to their level and such, but I feel that communication is key. If the only way a child knows how to participate in a discussion is to rudely make ad hominem personal & character attacks, I see it as a cry for help using the only language they understand and generally return in kind, as I want to communicate above all else.
