Rewards vs pvp integrity

[Mawlzy]

Thus we return to the vibe of the topic, why do we have so many queuing up "just for the reward", while also bringing in these "I cba" defeatist (or downright dismissive) attitudes? Why are most of all the attitudes concerning pvp motives right now negative? That's the quandary. Sometimes I'll hang out at various instances of WDP, and see some sprouts seemingly having fun in the dueling area. I'll occasionally cut in to gauge interest in pvp as a whole, and things tend to go from there. It's nice when there's enthusiasm. There needs to be more of that. (Maybe WDP can start by looking a bit more presentable for one, after so many years...)

The semi-facetious answer is "because it's an MMO."

That said, the "gimme summat or I won't play" seems to me to be particularly bad in 14.

But there's a lovely breeze coming in from my balcony, and thus I am optimistic. I report non-participants. Over the last six weeks, I've been contacted by GMs on four occasions who seem genuinely interested in discussing my concerns. They have encouraged me to continue to report those breaking ToS. I get the feeling there's a little PvP enclave at SE (NA at least), where GMs care about FL.

I hope I'm not fooling myself.

You want change? Vote kick and report.

I suspect there are many players "just there for the rewards" who avoid combat and don't know they're doing anything wrong. Or they figure FL is a joke mode.

Let's change that belief. Olivia tried to remove this element of the player base through her exceptional skill. Hasn't worked. Suspended accounts may be more effective than getting the snot kicked out of you by a French Maid.

Vive la résistance! Mort aux détracteurs!
