Stop The Killing!
 |
Arghhh! I must admit I go through phases with PVP. Sometimes (normally after season gear has been released) I can’t get enough of it. I log in next to the Battlemasters and tend to log out in the exact same place, or maybe a few inches away. However, the more involved one becomes in PVP the bigger the feeling of wanting to kill your own team becomes. Don’t get me wrong, I know you’re supposed fight alongside with your teammates, but if words could kill their would be no need to fight. Teams would simply self implode and continue their squabbling within the graveyard.
Now I’m not going to try and justify the hostility people feel within battlegrounds, or try and prevent them arguing. This is because anyone who has PVPed at a high level can understand how stressful it can get. When your team is not winning and people are begging for the team to surrender, or people keep running for the flag in EOTS when they have capped zero towers are just some examples. And recently it has become even worse with schools being out for the summer. Perhpas instead of Blizzard’s introductory messages being “Remember to take all things in moderation (even World of Warcraft)” they should read “Please bare with the game while we deal with an overload of abusive 12 year olds running around”.
I guess PVP is just destined to be bad. The only advice I could offer would be to try and filter the chat; learn when to read and when not to. And most importantly, do not PVP! ;)
