Why do you PvP?

I like the thrill of locking horns with another player. I kill him or he kills me. Maybe I lose and go back for revenge but if I win then what’s the point of killing him over and over again?

I think one aspect of the perceived problem here is how to get people to realize a sense of ‘honor’ when pvp’ing. I agree ‘Why do you PvP?’ If a person wants to make a name for themselves among their peers and other guilds then what does that say when that individual kills the same person 3+ times in a row or the roving pvp group steamrolls a single player?

Another perspective is that pvp is real war and there are no rules in war but to destroy the enemy any chance they get, to give no quarter and break their bones. Is this real war? Actually in real war there are rules of engagement, boundaries opposing forces do not cross as war is the only recourse and resolution when words of men (and women lol) fail. What boundaries do you place on yourself, does your group, and does your guild?

This is a game, nobody seems to take these ideas seriously as means to an end in this din of weeping and gnashing of teeth. Perhaps if we hold pvp dear and police ourselves first, rather then to ask Funcom or any other gaming company to do it for us, would give us all the pvp game we are searching for. I know I personally miss the pvp from Daoc badly even though I stopped playing it many years ago, it still haunts me. WoW was great in many ways but imho never reclaimed the feelings or satisfied that primal urge.

Teamwork is the very core of any group of individuals trying to work together toward a common goal.  Each person brings their unique skill sets to forge the strength of the team.  While this is the greatest strength it is also their greatest weakness.  The team is only as strong as it’s weakest link, when we march to the beat of a different drummer and walk the path as an individual, the team suffers.  One person cannot stand alone and hope to achieve the pinnacle of success that teamwork brings.

The duty of each individual, as part of team, is to ensure that they work well together.  Respect from their peers stems from the respect of themselves.  The individual must strive to be deserving of the respect of the team.  One must take care that they are honest and put the needs of the team before the needs of the individual.

Teamwork is the essential of working together.  The team is made of individuals, each individual is important to the success of them team.  If the individual suffers then the team suffers.  It is vital that we recognize the individual as well as the team.
