The only thing to understand is that most of these people do not actually want challenging combat versus other real players. What they want is the ability to be a complete dick to people with no real consequences.

I just had the best Alex PF party I've ever been in. We started off in A1 and nearly finished it before the first jump, and we kept going all the way to A3. All DPS was 1000+ and 800 each for the tanks. And all good people too, very friendly and talkative. I ended up friending most of them afterwards. Really wasn't expecting that out of PF.

Literally the only time I had fun with it was back in my WoW days where I jumped in the mid-level battleground queue a bunch of times and found that there was a relatively stable pool of regulars who did the same (on both sides.) We all got to know each other gradually and it was fun playing with friends against familiar foes.

Random acts of pvp sound funner than they usually are. 'Alright this dude helped me kill a dragon time to gank him!' 'huh, he didn't die. And is now teabagging my corpse.'

Yeah like, I had some pretty funny stories of world pvp in WoW but mostly it was frustrating and boring and caused me to stop playing when I was sick of not being able to do anything because I just wanted to do my quests and not deal with being ganked over and over and calling in guildies and oh god

That time I was levelling in some area near the Blasted Lands gate and ganked someone so they called in their max level DK friend who I then got to chase me up into the town, into a keep (wherein I had memorized The Keep Layout that's Tanaka-pasted all over that goddamned game) where I lost the DK, then ran back to the person I ganked and ganked them again was pretty great. That said, it wasn't as great as the entire original run of Labyrinth of the Ancients. #bonezone

it seemed like a good idea at the time
World PvP in TERA (which was a fun game if you pretended Elin and everything to do with them didn't exist) mostly boiled down to max level players hanging out in newbie zones hunting them down for shits and giggles.

If the Elin were just a cutesy anime girl race and that was it I don't think anyone would care.

Sorry to distract from Elinchat, but has there been any new info on 3.1? Either when it's coming, or ideally what changes it will actually bring?

I mean I doubt it will 'fix' what I want, but I've all but quit after the expansion as I feel that it made every dps job too complex for me to enjoy, so I'm kind of holding on 3.1 for I guess any changes. So has there been any noise on that front?

they're supposed to talk about 3.1 at tokyo game show soon, but they're probably never gonna make any dps classes simpler than they already are. if you want something simple, play monk because its basic rotation didn't change at all in 3.0, it just got a couple more off globals and a button you can press when bosses go invincible, which is all the time

Sadly what I was expecting. And I tried to swap from BLM to MNK, but MNK didn't scratch that itch that 2.0 BLM did. About what I was expecting, I suppose, thanks.

have you run LotA lately? it gets worse every time I do it for the weekly, every run these days has people betting in /a on how many wipes to dragon/KB/that last boss because there's almost always at least one on each of those.

last run had a warrior with a shitload of HP eating ancient flare for fun and getting yelled at by a bunch of people even though he still had like 3k and never actually died.

I find it funny because of how this place acts. Can't really post about something you like on these forums because other users grow obsessively worried about being associated with something that another user likes, even if they don't even interact with you outside of this thread.

I pretty much enjoy all the reaction posts over someone being open and honest.
