There should be a PvP achievement for Poking Stick kills, or a Poking Stick leaderboard.
Also, a spell-checker would have caught two of the three errors in the new Poking Stick's tooltip.
"an plain" -> "a plain" (would not have been caught)
"catapaulted" -> "catapulted"
"disasterous" -> "disastrous"

This is very confusing to me. They spend great lengths into making the icewind pass instance meaningless and grief-free as possible by making the rewards garbage, not being able to change instances and not having exclusive sought-after resources in the PVP area. In fact all you get from it is a title really. I do not agree with it, that design pretty much killed open world pvp but I understand that design since they want to protect casual players.
Now they introduce this humiliation stick that broadcasts grief over the whole network? What if I don't want to see any of those? The devs are going through the 2 ends of the spectrum with this one and I think they are seriously out of touch with the playerbase.

It's almost like it should of just been called the Greifing Stick. I love that we got new stuff, but not sure this was the best idea to put out in the WB. But I did buy mine so will be greifing tonight.
I agree and was just arriving to say that. Kind of hypocritical to block any/all aggressive posts on the forums, but encourage players to "humiliate" others, it seems. Certainly contrary, and just one more reason I'll pass on PvP then.

After all the posts trying to make life easier for people that just started PvP and encourage them to continue and gear up...
... we get an official endorsement of humiliating adversaries in PvP, instead of acting in a civilized manner.
This is really sad to see. I am not sure they get it that losing and being also humiliated is the worst thing one can experience in a game.
They should revise the blog.
It's bad enough getting incessantly roflstomped by op pvp guild teams, unable to score a single node or kill, and they just jump/dance on top of your corpse.

if someone wants to try it. use it on a dragon and see if they fly into the air.

Impossible as its only usable on players
Reminds of the Doom days with god-powers and stuff. Even with a set trap between two of us, some guys just couldn't be beat and made sure we knew it. I like a balanced PvP OK enough, but not slaughters with humiliation-sticks.

I'm not even going to mention the irony of who you chose to quote
I don't need to hear about it anymore than I do which players got items from lockboxes.
If you know something to be broken, stop using it.
Otherwise, you've got no right to be speaking of 'balance.'

I'm inclined to agree. It's already sufficiently toxic, the levels of casual racism, homophobia and misogyny in your average PvP match are quite enough to leave most reasonable people wincing. A new way to "humiliate" opponents would seem to cater to an already over-served demographic.
it has the same function of thrones
At least this gives you a way to put those kind of PvPers in their place. I think this is a great idea - and funny as hell!
I can't wait to get home today and search for some YouTube videos of toon fireworks in NW . . .
