suspending people for using emotes/fireworks after defeating an opponent is ludicrous

[Liam_Harper]

People do their best to actively be offended by everything they do not like.

Agree, they do indeed. Like not being able to rub a victory in someone's face is somehow the end of the world and a reason to start a forum thread. Way too easily upset.

Its already a well known fact that the devs want this game to have a friendly wholesome atmosphere( even though alot of the times this fails). Using sweep emote in pvp to call someone trash isn't that, You know exactly what youre doing and so do they. Ppl are just mad that the devs aren't stupid.

Sports are a re-enactment of war with rules. While death threats are unaccetable, its perfectly fine in most sports across the world to taunt your opponent, especially in blood sports. We are fighting with weapons and killing one another and yet taunting is too much? Please.

"Good Job!" Squeenix, "Well played!".

i stopped reading at "LoL strat" you are talking about from one of the games with the most toxic community. your argument is invalid. taking something from a game which has such high tox lvl and taking that for "this is normal" is just BS

[Khalithar]

They're saying this isn't a bar fight so try and conduct yourself with some class.

Besides those situations OP mentioned are lame. If you want to taunt your opponent do it by winning, that's enough.

idk how this is still relevant, they prohibited item use a patch after they made that rule, so why even reference it still? are some fireworks still useable in frontlines?

I thought this to. I had no idea items were available in PVP.

you literally just insulted me a post ago and then invalidated some guy's arguement because he mentioned a pvp game you don't like, I believe you should check your social skills now because they seem very lacking if you can't address this gentleman properly

a game with a proven high toxic community isnt a valid argument for "insulting the enemy is a good strat" its just weak reason to justify insulting others

Point out to me, what mainstream pvp games, has no toxicity or flagrant taunting of people youve just beaten. WoW, Starcraft, CoD, Counterstrike, Siege, Pubg, Fortnite, Battlefield (hilariously has them built in by the devs post match), Halo, DotA, Tera (RIP), ESO, GW2. I can keep going, so ill throw it to you. Tell me what games are happy fun pvp playgrounds where everyone is nice to each other.

taunting your opponent with emotes has always been part of the PVP game spirit

fortnite has a full catalogue of emotes dedicated just for taunting

TF2 gives you an achievement for providing your opponent with a freezecam of you taunting over them

Darksouls has gestures intended for taunting enemy players

if you're going after people for some victory dance in pvp then go for streamers too since they've done worse

Was "other games do it" really the best argument you could come up with?
