[QUOTE="WraithOfHouseToHouse, post: 2558332"] Yeah i know, thats high up on the list of things i hate. I mean i dont mind "Char_01 tossess a dagger at you with blinding speed, putting a spin on it to make it difficult to dodge" type things, especially if (1) its a situation where its physically highly unlikely that you'll be able to avoid the attack or, (2) a character you know has some sort of adeptness in a specially ability (not a jack of all trades twink ass, but someone who's got their strengths and weakness). But when its Jonark_Lightniningwar, half angel/vampre lord/dragon titan mage/god of Dark Skulldeath, its pretty ******* annoying, especially if they complain when you dodge their auto-dodge/defelct most of their autohit attacks like i do. Aye, no matter how powerful your character is, you should always take at least a few hits. I mean damn, even Jedi Knights take hits (and get killed) in StarWars, lol. True, all of it. Fight using reasonable logic and give a little bit to your enemies as far as satisfaction (you give them the up in one fight, and they'll do that for you). Lol, this is a personal grievance of mine, but not exactly in the same way. I dont mind being massively outnumbered to tell you the truth, but if they jump in on me, they can expect the same from me...at any time. This is what i call "bl00bie syndrome." Peeps who play online RPGs probably know about this. In games where PK is allowed you have the bl00bies (also called "carebears" or antis) who will fight only when they're victory is almost always assured. They'll rarely seek out Player Killers, save for in large powerful groups, so that they can hope to out number instead of outskilling them. This is kinda how i see these people you're talking about. They sit on the sidelines most of the time, but when its evident the tide is turning one way, they'll rush in with it. Yet, if i attack one of them alone or with a huge group, or try to break in on one of their fights, they whine or flee. Maybe its just a thing i have because i usually play characters that are [logical] combat oriented, but still.. LOL yeah i've seen these guys. Personally, i think they're pretty funny (thats laughing at them, not with them), but i know its frustrating...especially when no one seems to report them at all, and yet report lesser, seemingly unoffensive (to me anyhow) things with the drop of a hat. If its...uhm...fulfilment they seek though, i have a bisexaul character that'd be happy to rp w/ em in a way that would make them never want to be openly sexual again...as long as it didn't get reaaaaaly nasty. Anyhow, well said and whatnot. Many issues for a lot of people addressed. [/QUOTE]
