Sounds like he's a no-good kill stealer to me, Ack-Ack.

You ever play Everquest? Ever try the PvP servers? If so, you know about the "naked Wizard" ganker. Why would anyone play a PvP game just to find hurt people and nuke them and steal their stuff? Because...... (its fun) and.... it pisses other people off. And why choose a naked Wizard? Well.... that way you have nothing at all to lose even if you lose, which pisses people off even more.


I've played Everquest on both PvP and non-PvP servers. What you described Urchin as far as losing gear can only happen on one of the 4  PvP servers (Rallos Zek) all the other PvP servers you can only loot their cash. I rarely looted an opponents cash on Tallon Zek.

When I was short on cash myself I wouldn't hesitate to steal another players coin :lol If I was in a PvP fight and knew I was going to lose w/o a chance to get away I would destroy any coin I was carrying. One time while killing Hill Giants (monsters known for lots of platinum coin loot) I was attacked by another player. It seemed I was going to lose so I destroyed almost 600 platinum worth of coin. I ended up wining that fight. :rofl

Urchin brings up a point I hadn't thought of before. People intentionally anger others online because there is no consequences for their actions. You may be 100%  correct on this Urchin.

People who engage in bad behavior just because there are no consequences need to grow up imo. When I see another plane in AH I don't just see the pixels on my screen, I see another human being who, like me, is there just for fun, and I try to conduct my self accordingly.

Anyone see that movie about 2 goofballs who were making a movie? People on the internet were posting all sorts of bad stuff about them. After the movie was released and these 2 guys had some money, they compiled a huge list of everyone who had said bad things about them and their movie. They started flying around the country finding these people and beating them up :rofl

A couple well publicized incidents like that and people might think twice about being jerks on the internet ;)

I am amazed at how many posts are on this rather insignificant topic. You guys must be a bunch of post mongers...

I let them live from time to time.
My last victim was a P38, a few weeks ago. He flew several nice attacks against our well defended field, got several serious damage. After his job was done, he was able to rtb, leaving the defenders behind. Except me. When i reached him i had to grin. Smoking engine, lost wingtip and whatever else.
this pilot was obvious busy to keep his wreck straight.
I sent him my best wishes and rtb.
Also, not long in the past, i catched a low Hurricane. He obviously just won a dogfight and was now out of ammo and very low on fuel. The pilot was begging for mercy to me on ch1. Though he wasnt the politest one, i had to laugh in the last.
I sent him a couple of 13mm's to scratch his back and then i let him go.

I get enough kills in the MA. And so it is easy for me to act this way from time to time. Its rewarding and increases my gamefun.
Is it a question of honor and respect?
LOL..handsomehunk....you are in AH! You pay 15 bucks. You can play it your way.
And thats my way.

Well...there is always the possiblility of taking a Country Ho vacation. It's always fun to see virtual life from the otherside, now and again :). On the downside...you generally find that all of the countries are pretty much the same. On the upside...you get to WACK your friends :D.
