PVP matches last night

Hey Folks!
So trying to do my daily last night was rougher than normal. No other guildies who were doing PVP at the time, and every time I got into a match it was either semi-pre or full pre groups. Even with that said, I still would give it my all as best I could. There were a few times when my pug would even have a break through, clear the spot and claim it now and then, but all of them were a loss. It usually got to about 600 points for the pre vs our 100 or so and that's when people would quit.
That got me into the fun of 1v1s. I was able to challenge people who were better geared than me, so I can see how they play against my HR. Most of them I lost and I knew I would, as I was at 10.2k GS vs their 12 or 13k.. However, it was fun. I know there were several fights that were really close. When it got down to that final attack to finish it or not, it was a lot of fun.
This whole thing is just a general 'thank you' to those whom allowed my HR to cap swap so I got some glory from the whole thing, as well as being willing to do 1v1s. Even with horrible facepalming losses as the players on my team refused to do the whole 'team' thing, I still enjoyed it.
I'm still working on trying to gear up my HR. Got 60 on monday (slow, I know) and I finally got my last pvp t1 piece last night. Working on boons, going to be doing t2 epic dungeons to get gear, etc, etc.. but I'm slowly moving up. I look forward to challenging more people in fights, either in a team, or if my team flees, in 1v1s.
Thanks!

I believe we ran into each other while PVPing last night and saw you 1v1 a couple of people. It was fun to watch! It was also nice to see someone NOT abusing the cooldown reduction bug. Props to you!
Hope to see you in more pvp in the future,

When I was solo pugging, I did run into your GWF. I think there was 3 times I managed to get you low, but I couldn't finish it as you had someone show up and that finished killing me.
I did have fun, I love seeing the big names of the PVP groups in matches, it makes me excited to pit myself against them and I try even harder to fight to win when I do see them. I know those 1v1s were intense, I've actually come to find as a combat HR, I'm a really good perma-stealth rogue burner. I refuse to exploit, so removed stormstep for lone wolf. Which has mixed results. I'm thinking about moving it into twin blade storm for more aoe damage when I am dealing with crowds. Once I get an armor enchant to go with my terror, I'm going to be even tougher to kill I think.
i've seen cap swapping happen a lot more recently. in a 5v2 or thereabouts, there's really no competitive vibe there... so it's pretty awesome to see rather than continual facemopping.
I also like to get into the 1v1's because even if I'm out-geared, I can see what they are doing specifically against me. Everyone has their patterns and I had one TR that I died the first time at him with 75% health, second at 25% health, 3rd at 5% health. They most likely had soul forge, so I never pushed them into it, however I was getting better at reading the pattern, as well as knowing how to react. I feel there's always a way to learn from any PVP match, as long as people are willing to treat each other with respect.
... I have had matches where they said 'sure go ahead and cap swap' then all jumped me too. I just sit on the edge of the ledge then.
if the other team is a pug, it's possible that some of the players aren't english-speaking... it's either that or they're just not interested in being fair.
That said, I have had people attack me when trying to cap too. Of course, I've also yet to have any of those who attack when the rest of the team agreed to a cap swap be able to do much to me before I floor them.
... ironically it's usually a GWF that while the match was active, it was the DC keeping them up from me. Otherwise I can drop them fast.
edit: actually I was the last one of my team, 5v1, they said go ahead, I hop down, entire group jumped me. I've only had 1 pre that's done that. Generally everyone else is cool enough to allow it to happen so I get at least something for losing.
Right, this actually happens quite often
We don't want that... but some seem to not understand past "kill kill kill".
Failing that, if people start leaving, I'll ask the team for the cap swap and after I'm over 500 personal points, ask about 1v1. I'm trying to be vocal in pvp matches, pushing for it so people see it and can see it's ok. I have talked to people that have refused to do anything other than fight. Personally, it's frustrating to me, I'm sure it's probably the same for others, since it's obvious we lost, why keep fighting? No situational awareness?
... then again, they could just be the people trying for the pvp artifact and have a mindset from other games of 'doesn't matter, fight and win' or something.
... until I'm last man on team and they're all standing under the ledge, anyways.
I certainly agree with this. If its a complete blow out I try to leave the low GS guys/girls alone while I wander around in search of a good fight... and always try to get the pug team I'm on to let them cap/offer 1v1's. I hate to see newbies to the game have a bad experience in PvP.
That's why this is up to the people who have been around for a while as they are ones who are probably in the position of control most often. The more sportsmanship that they show the more it is passed on to the newly arriving 60's.
Far as I know most 60s are fine with it. I know I ran into one GWF that basically let me beat on him as it started as a 1v1, but I couldn't drop him down under half health even with him just standing there... that was before my terror enchant.
In general, if we, as a PVP community, decide to be better and to be sportsman about such situations, we can improve the game. While having a reason for people to stay in game would be nice, ultimately I enjoy the fighting for the fighting and want to see that on a good level with any.
I tend to find that if I go into a match expecting sportsmanship, I tend to find it.
... now if only that worked when I go in expecting to win and get the 10k gs team vs the 15k gs team.
Everyone starts somewhere, just have a positive outlook and have fun like the OP.
Don't be scared of PVP. It's thrilling and if you tell people up front you're new, they'll generally help you out.
A really smart move would be shout that in party chat before the game start so if people don't wanna play with newbie they can just leave so you get new ones or everybody can quit and regroup until you run into a team that simply don't mind.
