Guild Wars 2

Hey folks,

i want to know your opinion on this topic. Since a few weeks i try to get in some, … lets say oldschool fights. I am a small man pvper from the bottom of my heart, startet with DAoC and still willing to find nice little fights. Fights like 1v1, 2v2 even a 1v2 makes fun if it is a close one. As far as possible i stay at some places waiting for good enemies and good opportunitys. Mostly alone, sometimes with friend(s) who have the same need for nice fair fights than me. Part of that is that 1v1 stays 1v1 even if im losing. (Flipping a coin decides who is the lucky one who shall fight ;P)
First there are some good enemies on all sides but lately i feel a little to old for some ppl of the community, jumping and dancing on my corpse is something i can’t understand. Most times its also that i’m waiting on my spot waiting till the enemy notices me. An good old /bow expression of respect and also signal to willing in a fair fight. Even if the enemy doesn’t do the same, some/most are starting to run at me try to beat the crap out of me. And there starts the situation i love. If i die there is anything fine for me, if it had a good begining, if there wasn’t someone adding. I honor my enemy, thinking by myself: “Wow, nice one he is the way better player than i am.” The other way around mostly isn’t that pretty. They try to run away to the keep or the Zerg and turn around in the very same second they are sure to beat me with much more ppl/guards. They jump and dance on my corpse making me think that i’m just to old for this. I even got whispered and flamed. For gods sake how do they get my name? Sure there are some awesome players who were giving me hours of awesome fights and a lot of fun. Lately it gets very rare to find those players.

I want to know how u feel about this? Do you think there is a place for this way of thinking? And kitten can anyone tell me how they get my name to whisper me?

PS.: Is it allowed to create a thread stating where i am and inviting other players to join this place for nice little fights?

Odd, I was just thinking about this last night as well. I decided that the WvW jumping puzzle may have some area within that works for cross server duels without catching the eye of the zerg. We used to do this on Warhammer all the time and some of my best fights were there.

I also considered the paid/password protected sPVP servers they are adding as a spot to organize duels. I will probably buy/try this at some point soon, me and my guildmates are itching to duel it up a bit.

I’m being sincere when I say get over it. Not in a bad way, just meaning that it is going to happen. People dancing on your corpse really isn’t a big deal IMO, and in fact is in a way a little funny to me. Who cares if they dance on your corpse though? What bad is it really doing?
When I am in WvW, I’m all about the battle. When I kill somebody, I don’t dance on their corpse, not because I think it’s wrong in any way (what’s wrong with a little celebration?) but because I’m too busy moving on to my next (hopefully) victim.

As for the whispering question, I have no clue how they could get your name. I have not tried this, but perhaps you can right click the “invader/defender” name and still use the whisper options without ever seeing the name. I’m at work right now or I would test this, but I’m sure somebody who already knows will be by shortly with the answer.

In summary, take it all in stride and keep on doing what you do, and above all else, have fun!
