Pvp Behavior Is Embarrasing

[P4X0R10N]

FYI, You can queue as a premade in this game in Feast. Please tell PvEr's to stop being so toxic as well.

Not in solo. Which is the only mode with rewards so good try.

Except that there are rewards tied to premade queue. Good try.

It's just salt talking most of the time, anyone how nice you are many high end pvpers lose control and the salt gets the better of them, just gotta take it with a pinch of salt, most of the time people arnt really that upset just upset for the moment they lost the match then it's over. Just gotta move on sucks but that's in any competitive anything

No. The frustration lies in the fact that people think these people are making them lose combined with the fact that they care about win/loss.

This is only partly true. Losing sucks, But what is infuriating is losing without the slighest chance of winning. When a new healer facerolls or your dps waste their burst on a PLD in the first 30s or a tank grabs 10 stacks, etc.

It's being obliterated that causes the salt. I've lost plenty of matches where it was a great fight of equal skill on both sides and lost fair and square where everyone put in all their effort and I've never had an issue with that or felt robbed.

Couldn't agree more.

Even if I lose a match because someone made a mistake, as long as it was a good match, then it's fine. I might do a face-palm for a moment, but I'm not gonna throw a fit over it. I only get salty if I start to feel like I'm being discriminated against by the matchmaking and dumb luck.

Lost one, more or less, even match? No big deal. Lost FIVE consecutive matches against the same platinum ranked healer when your team gets shafted with an unranked healer? No. Just no. At that point, it's hard to keep your calm, because you're basically being told by the game "don't bother playing." Getting a little salty at that point is kind of justified ... which shouldn't really surprise anyone, because it's not exclusive to PvP.

Go into any randomly formed PF group for savage or extreme raid/trial and you can see the same behavior. It only takes a couple of losses for that friendly pack of people to turn into a toxic cesspool of bile and venom, and the player with the least experience in the fight is typically the one who gets b!ched at the most, even if they weren't the one making mistakes.

So much this! Those even matches are the best even if you lose, winning or losing because of facerolling is most boring thing that can ever happen in PvP.

My only complaint is that the PvP community is way too small to have this kind of behavior. It is embarrassing that we are discouraging PvE'rs and newcomers in at least trying PvP.
Ranked Feast I understand that everyone's blood is pumping because it is a leaderboard game and who hates losing. Be realistic: do we want to keep the PvP community small forever or do we want to expand? In the end it's still a game and we should not be here to discourage anyone from playing feast (or Frontlines) again because we lost or try to discourage them from ever PvPing again because of bad behavior - which there are countless threads/posts about these topics.
First impressions do matter and there is no reason to defend bad behavior.

[Aerilon]

I honestly think that there needs to be a requirement in order to Q for ranked play based on PvP rank so that total newbies can't queue up for ranked. New players should be funneled into Front Lines or 8v8 feast to learn and get their skills.

I log in matches as a healer and if i get one non constructive rude insult, i troll the match by not healing said person at all.

If they get extremely rude then since I always enter with another healer friend, we both refuse to heal until they kick one of us, the other leaves too and the game is ruined.

You are worse than them, TBH. That one person insulting you might be causing you to have a bad time, but YOU just ruined the fun of everyone else in the match.
