Harassment in Frontline

i fought 1 vs 1 with a monk (i was a SMN) in frontline today.. i thought i can win the battle until suddenly the monk used LB on me.. so i died.. but then the monk laugh at me.. and then jumping on my body.. i feel offended.. i consider it as a type of harassment..

so, ca we disable emote in frontline? some people are too creative.. just imagine when u die, and the killer is dancing around on ur body..

Well it kind of is harassment but then again the point of PVP is to kill other people and prove they have more skill, so they should be allowed to dance on your corpse :P

it sucks but its just whats gonna happen when you get rocked. if he cant emote, he could jump around you or even just run in circles. no matter what, you would know hes mocking you.

just gotta release and try again ^_^

This full allagan mnk took me down once and did the manderville dance on me.
So I found him again and got the lockdown on him, beat his ass. Applied slow early so all his attacks are moot. Then proceeded to balldance on top of him.
Karma's a b***h. And am glad to show him his full allagan doesn't make him pro.

I write players like that off as immature. "Adults" can be so juvenile online.

Teabagging. It's well known in all PVP, it's actually from FPS games, crouching on your opponents head multiple times until they respawn.

The last time a monk did that to me while I was on my SCH. I literally switched to my monk, hunted him down and LB him.

I got teabagged by a war once :( on sch too so it was kind of embarrassing that I lost.
You just have to have a thick skin and get over it, most people are still only doing it for a bit of fun, I've done it myself xD it's part of the fun of pvp!
Strangely enough I've seen friendships born of this behaviour, when you get a vendentta against someone, you sort of develop a mutual respect for each other. Sometimes anyway :)

You are offended too easily.
PVP is probably not for you.

Go back to hellokitty online.

You probably are one of those people that dislike end zone dances too. :p

Honestly, just release and get on with your game. Here you are hours later stewing and that person that bugged you probably 1. never knew your name 2, never cared who you were and 3. has moved on and forgotten all about that incident. It's pvp, there is always a bit of smack talking in some way, shape or form (dancing, emotes, teabagging).

Just put the "release box" in the middle of your screen, you won't see your body and the people dancing on it.
Or put a sign on your killer so you will find him easily once you come back, wait for him behind a rock, embush him, smack the heck out of him, then /laugh until he releases.
Repeat.

Thanks dude, just made my day; I appreciate the comical sentiment :)

I know it shouldn't bother me, but when MNKs shoulder tackle me off guard while on my mount, with some of my cooldowns unavailable, without Ifrit out even, then manage to kill me and laugh and dance on my body, it strikes a nerve lol. (Holy run on sentence batman). Cuz I know damn well no MNK could ever kill my SMN in a proper 1v1. It's like.... Wtf are you laughing at?? Your insanely good luck? Or my bad luck?

It is probably you are lacking of situation awarness. Monk is very good for outpost harrassing. When a Monk is approaching you solo, that is only means he is ready for the kill, either with full CDs on hand or limit break to spend. Casters > meeles in Frontline, you need to bear that in mind as well, there is nothing to brag about killing a meele 1 v 1 because you are suppose to.

I would never brag or dance on anyone in PvP lol I was simply stating a fact. Also, Casters > Melee IF Equanimity is up, if it's not then they have the upper hand.

You just repeated what I have said. Also a common mistake made by a lot casters is that they think themselves are very tanky. They think they can just take down meeles when they have Equanimity, but this is not WoW. Meeles have limit break that can one shot you and cant not be interrupt with their unique PvP action.

Unless you've discovered a way to cast spells while kiting, you have to stand there and take it from a melee OR be limited to crappy instant spells like Scathe and Ruin II. Otherwise you will not beat a melee 1v1.

Also while the wording was similar, we made two different points in our posts, so no I didn't repeat what you said.

I enjoy spamming /grovel on the corpses of people who tried to kill my whm but failed o.o then they come back and die just so I can do it again :D if they killed me and did the same ah well XD gg! Let's try again!

But honestly it's a mind game. If it infuriates the person then it breaks their focus and they just end up getting upset and forgetting about strategy and such. The only thing that's in their mind is to "Kill! Kill! Kill that guy!"

All in all it's Pvp, if you can't stand the heat stay out of the kitchen.

*/kneel* on your face all day long <3
I like to teabag my enemies!

I love it when any class/person has the audacity to "attempt" to kill me on my SCH (Focus Heal Fairy Macro on myself) While I hit that beautiful cleric stance; Ruin II/Energy Drainx3- kills anybody should watch them run when they think they have what it takes to kill a SCH. I give them a promissory dance after it's all said and done.

I haveto admit that I will do emotes (usually just /pose) on the following conditions:

1. After I killed a Maruader because I am unable to see why people beleives Maruader is better than Warrior in the Frontline.

2. Killed a healer after limit break <--- Sorry, this is a must :cool:

3. Killed a BLM or SMN because it is a challenge.

I was on my MNK yesterday when suddenly I saw a distracted SMN in frontline. I immediately proceeded to LB him and spammed /dance, ahah. I bet that got it really good!

All this talk of burning limit breaks to kill someone who upset you. You realize using an LB for revenge instead of helping to win/hold flags is as good as missing with it yes? Our healers live to fight and hold flags another day, and I'll re-spawn to /happy on another corpse.

Oh, I am usually harass Malestorm and immortal flame as monk, and that is the time I use limit break. It is actually benefit twin adders:cool:

The only harassment I get while in Frontlines is a bunch of people laughing and shouting at me for trying to teach people how to play. I drop information that is all very helpful and informative, but no matter how helpful it is they always ignore it and just lash out. These players always desire to vote-kick me too, but all I do is provide information that will help the team to victory.

For me, I am not finding it as offensive nor harassment. I find it normal as players tend to test their skills fighting against other players, SPECIALLY if they can beat the cr@p out of you by killing alone. If you dont want other players to do the same to you then change to a class that you can kill a monk then laugh, dance and jump over to his/her dead characters (LOL), You can be a Monk, DRG or Warrior if you want. Or, get your party raid a post.

The nature of frontlines prevents a lot of one-on-one harassment because most of the time you are fighting large scale battles, but there are occasions where you can get 'griefed' (aka, people jump and dance on your body), and I would do your best not to let it get to you. There's nothing you can do if someone LBs you and honestly... I would feel honored if someone wasted an entire LB just to kill me. =P At least, that's how I felt when a DRG did it to me (when I was a SMN) a few hours ago. I totally had him dead to rights because I had equanimity but he killed me with his LB... haha. I would personally save LBs for gamechanging situations (like a much-needed base) or securing PvE kills in mid.

As far as PvP is concerned, griefing in this game doesn't occur NEARLY as often as other games. I've been doing frontlines quite a bit lately and I haven't seen TOO many situations in which players truly grief another. There was one time that I know I really annoyed another player, but it wasn't really griefing. A paladin was alone protecting a base and I waited until he ran out of the circle and then bound him there (swiftcast+tridisaster) and then stood on the flag while it slowly changed, doting him up and killing him off. I felt kind of bad but... 'outsmarting' people is the nature of the game. And... 1v1 is really unbalanced (hence why they won't add dueling to the game). I think SE made a good call when they decided to label people by their classes but didn't allow you to communicate or even emote with opposite teams. I suppose you can SEE what they emote, but you won't notice the text.

But it's so much fun!

Is this a real thread? I can't even.

Actually, you spam the chat nonstop with "order macros" that are obnoxious and foolish. You cause an annoyance to veteran players and confusion to newer players. You should spend less time talking and spamming these macros and more time not being outdamaged by tanks.

THAT'S why you get hated on.
