Away from elite ... the evil that men do

Ok , so with elite down I had to make my own entertainment.

So i went on the calgary 24/7

Man .. It was one of those bad places you hear about .. rampant hackers , cheaters and Pvp bullies.

I had found a *decent* l36 that took pity on me , and gave me some creds to get myself into decent shap ( i'm fed up of starting again , it just isnt fun) . I wanted something different , so I decided to play a freigher , i'd never done that before. I sent out a call to some l1 to escort me to texas for 15K , and we were already to go , then a l36 blasted me , kept blasting me , and wasted like 30mins of mine and the poor newbies time.

I tried threats , that i was really a high level 36er with n eagle , an that I was a hacker who could quite easily hack into systems of pvp bullies. No joy I was disbelieved, called a kiddie ( I wish to the roots of my thinning hair I was a kiddie!). Now yeah that was probably rag to the bull , and only gonna make em worse but I was already getting blow to crap,not having any fun, and maybe I thought it would give them pause for thought. I just wanted to play the game , make new friends and maybe help some newbies alone, so I tried to fake it , alas the arogance of the higher levels know no fear!

I was appalled at the abuse that myself and other players had to suffer , so much so i game my low level escort 16k anyhow because he had wasted so much time , like I said to him ' Its not your fault there are pvp bullys around'.

When will people grow up and stop messing with people ?


I think pvp can be fun , and is part of the game , but not BULLYING , a l36 character shouldnt go blowing up newbies and lower levels with their nomads and sabres in two shots, Instead of a no pvp rule what about a min level difference pvp rule?

Ah well. Guess I'll do my voting wih my feet and not go there again.

Probably, in this case, when they actually grow up. I'm not trying to make a blanket statement about younger players, but I'd be willing to bet that the majority of the problematic players are younger in age, and bullying for them is fun... much like the poor geeks getting taunted in elementary school.

Teh Talman is mah HERO.

Most servers implement the no PVP rule in Liberty space. Being a lvl38 ambassador to new players on the centauri server (I help new players get around) if I ever see bullies I tear them a new one....
