Problem - PK'ers !

Blah,blah, blah. You always talk about how its just a game and don't compare it to real life. However, YOU are the ones that put it in real life. When you get mad at a person, you kill them, for example.

You are not trying to kill the character, you are mad at the person playing the character, so your real goal is to kill the person playing. When you kill someone and they complain, you come back to do it again. You come back because the person behind the character complained, therefore you are once again attacking the PLAYER.

No matter HOW you try to rationalize it, you are all murderers that would not hesitate to kill irl if there were no concequences. You can escape them in a game by using a 30 cent cash shop item or just log off, however in real life you can't. Every one of you are a bunch of cowards. That is a FACT that will never change.

Hmm its not letting me quote...well.. @ZOE

Killing someone in real life takes more then a few clicks, knowing your about to take that persons life and they will never speak..walk..or do anything on this earth ever again. You are playing the roll of what some people call 'God' choosing if that person lives or dies, So KILLING A PIXEL is different then A REAL PERSON..Punishment or not..It takes alot more to kill someone IRL then on a game..Your point was half wrong and half made up..For one..WHO GETS MAD ABOUT A GAME? LOL!!! Its a game, if someone taunts you then blacklist them..If someone camp PKs you..Log out come back later..If they do it..go to town find someone that will pk that person..for everyone noob killer theres a person killing the person killing noobs. For example when I cant PK someone and it turns out Im getting owned more then I am owning, I whisper someone and they come and own them. But luckly in HT I just hug SZ till timer is up when I dont wanna pk/get pkd any longer xD, So your point about KILLING IRL and PWI killing goes hand in hand with SANE AND INSANE b:bye

- Time for me to go to sleep..Ill reply tomorrow.

Holy ****.

Jack Thompson, is that you?


Seriously, whoop dee doo. You're attacking the "player" then. Does that change the fact that it's a game, no one dies, and everyone can choose whether or not to play?


Seriously, let's look at your comments:

If someone pisses you off in game, and you kill their character, then you're a murderer!

Uhhh... No.

You can't equate this to real life. First, you won't even know the majority of these people in real life. Second, they won't be able to perform the things that **** you off in real life. I'm pretty sure kill stealing is not an issue among the majority of high school students. Thirdly, human beings DO have such a thing as self-control. Self-control means that they don't act on their impulses. The reason people are less reserved on online games such as perfect world is because they're anonymous, and the consequences of their actions are acceptable to them.

This does NOT hold true in real life, as you have a name, a social security number, etc. Not to mention the consequences.

Human beings are inherently selfish, spiteful, evil creatures. It's only through self-control and fear of consequences that they follow any laws at all.

I am a bit offended that you can cheapen the value of human life however, which is essentially what your argument does.

Taking a human life has immeasurable consequences, and your comparing it to losing 5% exp, or the chance to drop some meaningless pixels is atrocious.

So please, STFU about things you have no idea about. If you wish to continue your illogical bull****, please do so privately. Thanks.

I'm leaning closer towards what Zoe said. =(

What possible joy does a person get from killing somoene they KNOW they can beat over and over? And then you have the lvl 80+ that camp outside of town and target lvl 30's. How is that fun? It reflects who you are irl. Same with boss luring, ks'ing purely to grief, and the list goes on. It's just some sad little person trying to gain control because they feel helpless irl. I know it's not comparable to real life crimes (like someone becoming a rapist), but it's the same human thinking behind it all.

The assumption you are using is that the only reason to do something are the ones your give which isn't actually the case; sometimes it is mixed in with or excluded from other reasons as well.

REASONS PEOPLE DO STUFF *

Build a rep for some reason.

Gain enemies

Instigate a PK war

Bored and it's something to do

A challenge

Want to get banned

They killed your alt (revenge)

They KSed you. (revenge)


AND sometimes it's because** they know that the other person is now screaming at their monitor because at one point the same exact thing happened to them which, I believe, is the main reason: what goes around, comes around.

And I have nothing against pk wars and stuff. Thats what I think a pvp server is for...you should fight people who will give you some competition.

In a perfect world with perfect beings that could happen, but this isn't a perfect world with perfect beings.


EDIT:

*Added because someone couldn't figure out what a list is when they see one.

** Edited because someone was unable to read the sentence.

OMGLAZERZ I would respond to your post but it's not worth it. It's obvious, from this and tons of other posts, that you don't even think before typing.

You obviously do not know its a PK server or you wouldnt be whining about "fair play" strong survive on a PvP server.

If you are not on a PvP server and choose to go white named, all bets are off, I dont care if you are doing quests or grinding, If I believe you need to be pk'd I will pk you.

So instead of whining, dont go white named to begin with and that is the only way you can have "fair play" in your definition

Who are you talking to, anyway? I ask because the OP stated he knows it's a PvP server which means you didn't read any further than the title.

Literature, then you are one of the few that doesn't understand that part of the post. To put that part of his post into something that you might understand, think of it as hazing in high school. When you were a freshman in high school, you got hazed by the upper classmen. Now that you are an upper classman, you participate in the hazing of the new incomming freshmen. Basically it's a "I went through it so now you have to go through it as a right of passage" sort of thing. I'm not saying that it's right, nor am I saying that his reason is correct, I'm just trying to translate it for you since you clearly are unable to understand what he said.

As for the OP, I can appreciate your origional viewpoint, but as has been said and as you have agreed with, it is a PvP server and for better or worse, there are those out there who feel the need to stroke thier egos by killing others multiple levels below them. Do another quest and come back to that one at a different time.

As for the villiage idiot (you know who you are), haven't you shown your idiocy enough times on these forums without bringing up the whole "PK is equivalent to r/l murder" thing again for everyone to laugh at you about?

The way you type isn't even clear. I have to guess at what you are trying to say. Thats the truth and is a valid argument.

No, that isn't what you said. What you said is that it wasn't worth responding to, not that it was hard to understand.

And yes, it was an Ad hom attack.

Wtf does this mean? I can't understand this part.

I removed the duplicate words, and reworded it so you can better understand it.

Sometimes people do something because they know, or believe, that the other person is now mad and/or unhappy. They believe this because the same thing happened to them before in the game, and that was their reaction: mad and/or unhappy.

I hope that is clearer to you, and much more understandable.

I lured Yansheng in, and just screamed "Help!" When someone else drew his aggro and died, more came to kill him. While they were busy dying, I got my mobs. I had no malicious intent, just a need to accomplish a goal, and I was pragmatic about achieving it.

Great, you have no malicious intention, just want to kill all players who are willing to help (save) you. How nice are people playing this game.

Lol nice...I didn't even think of that. People are trying to help him and he's causing them to die for his own selfish reasons.

So a person is either a selfish ******* or a griefer if they lure bosses. haha b:bored

LoLtank Failed.

Failed? No, it worked. I didn't cause anyone to help either. It's their own fault for attacking a boss much stronger than them.

As for being selfish, yeah, it was a **** move. I'm ok with that. b:pleased

Okay I still cannot understand or figure it out how the heck we ended talking about REAL LIFE , CRIMES , **** and stuff that happens in REAL LIFE !
I am shocked that people compare this game with REAL LIFE ! Well for me ( I don't know for others ) it doesn't affect at all my real life , I play this game cause I like it and that's it ! You cannot say that if a player PK's other player in game wants really to kill him in real life ! Maybe he is just having fun or he is mad or bored but I guess the last thing on his mind is to kill that person in real life!
For all those who associate this game with real life , please make some friends , do some booze , drugs or something that is the bad thing....But at least its much more "normal" that saying the game affects your real life !
I cannot believe that this is happening !

Post of the year.b:laugh

/thread.

It's not too late to change servers and start over. My friends and I were in our 40's on the Malaysian English version of PW when PW International came out. We moved here partly because of less lag and better translations, but mostly because PWI has PvE servers.
