Jumping on dead players

[Talamh]

If someone jumps on my dead body, I don't care.
As someone who used to play FPS and the likes back in the 90's... I mean bungie jumping and the likes..

But where I draw the line is what I saw one Miqote or Au Ra do once, which is the act of 'teabagging'.
That's something that came later in the 2005's+ and I've always thought of it as extremely immature behavior.

I try to kill that person with a vengeance but unfortunately, the way PvP is in XIV it's damn near impossible to kill someone in 1v1 if the other one doesn't want to.

So it's best to just let the bad feelings run away and focus with your team.
If you're lucky, you'll get your revenge by slaying them soon enough.

Definitely don't see the difference between jumping and squatting. They're both BMing. They both have that intention with getting the losing player angry which is why the emote rule is there in the first place. It's a mental distraction. The sooner folks realize this and stop having reactions to this the sooner BMing can die. If the devs decides to remove emoting in general and jumping that's letting those few players know that what they're doing is working, and they're going to cook and come up with something new. It can running around your fallen body, or, as someone has mentioned earlier, it could be using the current elixir potion that we have. Either way, if your solution to fighting BM is rule changes it's going to be an eternal war.

Welcome to PVP
It IS eternal war!

If they remove jumping, I'd be very upset since that's a movement based ability.

It doesn't feel like war to me lol

I'm just saying with how jumping will be used if all other options are taken away. That's all.

.....I don't have a reason to report anybody. If I have problems like this I may as well uninstall Mortal Kombat right now. I'm not sure where you got the idea that I'm bothered by this, but I can care less. I was letting folks know how to deal with this behavior...

You literally call squatting teabagging bm it's all fun at end of the day if this makes u uncomfortable don't play pvp just avoid it u literally called it bming. Like everything on this game u guys literally call gm for. XD

I got to call a spade a spade. I can't call a spade a heart or a club lol. It's BMing in my book. Otherwise, the devs would not be reenforcing the emote rule every expansion. (There was a thread between 5.0 and 5.1 where the conversation of squatting blew up, but I cannot find it for whatever reason. I'm praying that I'm just blind, and the devs did not delete it.) Not my call. Blame the community for this.

If you say it's fun at the end of the day I'll gladly drop the topic, and we can agree to disagree. If this isn't satisfactory enough, there's always invading your frontline games (assuming I'm willing to give the casuals another chance) and settling it there xD

CoD....
How about you play Doom '93 instead? Or any of the old games. Back then, it was just shoot or be shot.

I don't get this obsession with only wanting to be an beep to someone's defeated body.

That's cause u refuse to and don't play enough pvp it's called getting in your head. It's a tactic to throw u off and that's literally the same that trash talking does. XD this is what happens when ppl who never play completive games play something like pvp they get offended so easily it bores the experience. Next thing ppl gonna do report ppl for being battle high V.
