It doesn’t matter if you agree about muting, it’s a built in game mechanic.
So now it is Player A who is harassing, constantly spamming Player B to not play the game how it was designed.
Also consider this: what if Player B asks Player A, very kindly, to allow them to kill. They are both flagged after all, and the rewards are good! Player A asks not to kill, Player B asks to kill. Who asked nicer? Who is right or wrong?
again its not about being fought its about being harassed by the same player or players over and over again…
its not a exploit, you have the option to respect my wishes to be left alone after you have already proven to have the better gear and skill, so at that point if some one asks for you to leave them alone cause they know you will win the fight and you dont listen well now that is harassment as you are actively pursuing to kill them.
again its not about pvp or being killed randomly its about being killed over and over by the same person when they know the fight is one sided, they are just looking for easy kills and to harass and bully others
nowhere does it say that you must kill every player that is flagged for pvp, if you do that you are actively choosing to play that way… the player that kills the other one is wrong
if someone say to leave them alone you should respect that as a person failing to do so make it harassment
That’s not the scenario I posited. If two flagged people are after the same gathering nodes, and one is consistently killing the other…my argument is that is not harassment.
Even if one player asks not to get killed. They are still engaging in competitive PvP content and should just unflag or leave.
Honestly, the whole point of the bonuses tied to PVP was to get folks to flag for PVP. So, at the end of the day, it really just sounds like you want them to remove the bonuses for flagging for PVP. You literally just spent several hours echoing the same opinion over and over again while dismissing mechanisms that already exist to assist you with not feeling disrespected or harassed but seem to still accept being harassed as long as you can click the report button. Honestly, again, if I was a dev, I would have banned you over the what? 1-X amount of players you are reporting because they are not playing the way you want them to play?
Okay buddy enough is enough. You’re in an
enemy faction. You’re an enemy. If you’re flagged for PvP I WILL kill you. It’s not harrasing or bullying, it’s how all the PvP enabled games works. Even if you ask nicely, beg or whatever. THIS IS WAR.
I do believe that harassment has occurred, and can happen, in New World.
But getting killed after asking for peace, while having an optional mode enabled that makes you a target to all enemy factions, does not make someone a victim, even if it occurs multiple times. Short of anything extra occuring, that’s just intentional gameplay.
He doesn’t want the flag removed. He wants it ignored, so that he gets the bonus without the PvP. If he doesn’t want the PvP, he should unplug.
The same goes for the example given by the OP. The Zergs are flagged. If someone snipes them, that’s the whole point! And I say that as someone who not only does not like being ganked but who believes AGS should make ganking impossible.
well thinking like that will just result in a report honestly, as its on the player that is actively harassing the other player that asked to be left alone.
I’m curious; what PvP-centric MMO have you played that affirms your right to ask other players not to kill you - and then punishes them if they ignore your request and kill you anyway?
Exactly, why is the flagged player keep running up to the other flagged player when he knows that he’s not strong enough to fight him for the nodes? That’s just plain harassment. And then reporting him after he keeps dying, absolutely crazy behavior. Definitely griefing. Reminds me of the definition for insanity. He’s already shown he’s strong enough to fight for his nodes, just plain and simple harassment.
well, i am echoing cause no one seems to get how this is wrong and is a form of harassment… and no i don’t want them to remove the bonus i want others to learn to respect others when they are asked to leave someone alone…
just like you ignore the fact that just because someone is flagged for pvp don’t mean you have to engage in attacking them every time you see someone flagged…
it not about playing how i want them to play it about respecting other that have asked for you to leave them alone… god how are you this thick headed…
That is just it. Ganking is a matter of perception.
For instance, I want to be able to PVP 1 v 1 only. So anybody that jumps in I will report them from now on for harassment because I told them not too.
Another example, a big zerg rolfstomps me, I am reporting them for ganking me. Only 1 player should have rolfstomped me.
How do I prevent being ganked? I unflag. Basically unflagging does what he wants, it ignores PVP players and they will likely ignore you back. Hence, it comes down to bonuses received from flagging so no, he wants the bonuses removed from flagging, it is simple as that.
