[quote="ADATH"][quote="M1S"]Why does that mean anything? lol I always gob back when being PKd.. makes the game more fun to provoke people. haha. Still this thread was about me needing money for more resi' scrolls... be back online in a hour or two.. donations please :P[/quote] So you admit provoking them good game.[/quote]

[quote="THEMAT"]"Please give me money for res scrolls so I can provoke people and waste your money" No thanks.[/quote]

[quote="JARAGOONDOO"][quote="THEMAT"]"Please give me money for res scrolls so I can provoke people and waste your money" No thanks.[/quote] [/quote]

[quote="M1S"]No. Only once they had killed me a few times. I don't provoke people into PK me as I don't stand a chance. They were going to chase me and kill me if I said anything or not... so why not have some fun. And the come at me (brah) is a famous ZYZZ saying hence saying it.[/quote]

[quote="YOSHIMITSU"][quote="ZYZZ"][quote="KAIDONE"]im neutral when it comes to guild fights my guild is we don't get involved in your childish shit[/quote] Firetrap are not neutral though. [/quote] I agree with Kaidone, I've stayed away from all of the shit that goes on as I get on with a few people in EQ but when a Level 70+ turns up to pk level 50's then calls for x2 level 80's and a level 100 to kill a level 50, 55, 64, 68 and 74 when we come and try to stop our guild being raped. Why the fuck should we remain neutral when EQ pk us? That's like punching a kid in the face and not expecting the parents to do anything. [/quote]

[quote="GANDALF"]5 firetrap went grey on me yest at ent ( I turned up to hunt ) but yeah iceblue had been attacking you guys so I can let it slide. You then have jpot in town mouthing of at quimm as per usual I then head back to my casual hunting (I'm a lazy rested leveler) only to end up going vod where multiple chars were attacking grey (slither, jpot hurricane to name a few) and then I come on here to read a thread saying EQ are the bad guys... Look at he feed yest, more than likely more pks from NM/arcanix but EQ are yet again in the wrong... Soma politics hate the strongest /gand[/quote]

[quote="STYLE"]Just warp and let it slide. Or go and get some melee stats. Most of the NM pking is done on "provoking" phillies who have a bag full of ressies, so shouldn't count that gandalf. It's all good sport mostly. As for firetrap, the majority of GVW's I have seen they have been neutral, only in the last few weeks they have appeared to actively seek out one guild over another. If you look at the PK feed that might tell you why they do that. This mostly goes down to he said she said bullshit. [/quote]

Soma politics hate the strongest /gand[/quote] Yeah we went grey on you because you came to kill us because iceblue called for help because we chased him for pking our guild members. Quimm can kill jpot on his own, thats his own beef fair enough. You say there are more pk's from NM/arcanix now but that's only because the tables are turning and EQ aren't the major force on the server anymore with more players returning and were sick of being pk'd with no hope of revenge earlier in the server. Does anyone remember how [url=http://myth-of-soma.com/Forum/Thread.asp?ID=2034&title=Suckers+Invited+%5BCommunity+Event%5D&Page=1]this[/url] EQ PK event went? I wonder how that would go now ... ?[/quote]

[quote="IMCON"]Just a few things to add. [b]Regarding Arcanix:[/b] Based on what I saw in guild chat, the entire tone was: "Person x, y and z from EQ are pking people, making it harder to hunt. How do we deal with this?" Some people responded by fighting back. Most of us just made ourselves scarce and hunted at other spawns when EQ people were around. But all conversation I saw was about being able to hunt, not about taking revenge or any other childish crap. I have no idea how No_Mercy and other individuals on this thread respond, with the possible exception of M1S whom I know better. [b]M1S: [/b]While I like you as a person, and sympathize with you, you do tend to make things worse for yourself by talking smack about the PKers and fighting back. You can't really be blamed for being angry, and I honestly believe you're very rarely the one to start a confrontation. But there's a reason you get targeted. "You started it," isn't a defense in court. Keep your nose clean, don't give PKers the fun and attention they're looking for, and things would be a lot better for you. [b]In general:[/b] The problem with all the PK drama on Soma is that people retaliate. EQ do PK people unprovoked and try to shut down spawns -- they often are the instigators, but then they have a perfect defense. They just show screenshots of people talking smack, and bringing their friends to counterattack, and absolve themselves of some of the blame. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind, and it gets to the point where nobody can remember who started it... probably not even EQ half the time, especially when you include different characters seeing different things. If someone follows you spawn to spawn, document it and get them banned. Don't go grey, don't talk smack, don't make yourself as bad as they are. That way they have no defense. If you want to post these kinds of threads, keep your own nose clean. [/quote]

[quote="LORDCOOS"]Haven't been involved much with the recent pking but if people are gonna spend their entire time at GVW grief slowing EQ (which certain arcanix and firetrap members did) then they should expect retaliation. [/quote]

[quote="IMCON"]If you take part in GVW you can expect to be PKed? Seems pretty childish somehow. I don't think GVW will be much fun if there was no strategy and only those who have a chance of holding the stone turned up. If it was a choice between being PKed and not attending GVW, I would just not attend GVW. But is lower attendance really what you want? Just an boring, easy EQ win week after week?[/quote]

[quote="IMCON"]I mean, I'm seriously asking the question. I didn't think anyone wanted that.[/quote]

[quote="LORDCOOS"]Not saying that but you can understand why people get pissed off when they're getting grief blinded/slowed/weakened by guilds which are supposed to be neutral. Being neutral would imply they'd actually attack no mercy which they do not.[/quote]

[quote="IMCON"]Well I can't speak for others, but I don't attack much because I'm still too low level to do noticeable damage. Slow, weak, cure and heal are my only ways of taking part and having a real impact. The only people I can attack are the other lower levels doing the same thing, which I do sometimes. I just thought that buff spells were part of the strategy -- I mean, we all have those spells. The other thing is that it's usually more efficient to have person x be on slow duty, person y on cure, person z heal... switching a lot costs time. So then it looks like grief spells, when it's just an organized strategy between either a whole guild, or group of players within a guild. I think a neutral guild is just a guild that doesn't force its members to go one way or the other -- that doesn't mean that there aren't still a majority on No_Mercy's side or whatever.[/quote]
