Default /zranking in PvP.

Why do people have to go and ruin a friendly game by /zranking on other people's corpses in PvP? I've always shown good sportsmanship behaviour but all these efforts just go down the drain when everyone else simply doesn't care and continue to rub salt on your wounds... while they don't even know you. I just quit 10 minutes into RA just 'cause chances are I just know someone else is going to /rank on us again and spoil the fun in playing.

If anyone here does it, just give me an honest answer. Does it make you feel superior or what? Why can't we just keep quiet and be a good sport about it?

its a pixelated emote in a game. why would it bother you so in the first place?
ignore them, keep playing and dont worry about it. its no reason to quit RAing.

I think it's funny that they consider zrank to be AT ALL impressive/insulting. It just shows the true extent of how shit they are.

I zrank because I like shiny pixels. What's your problem with that?

Wtf would you even care? Gamers aren't the most polite ppl in the world in case you don't know. Besides that, Zrank = one of the most brainless titles in gw, its a money grind, its trash. And people who do get a big zank usually are horrible at pvp (why else would they RA?), its only "pvp" title where they can showoff.

Suggestion: just ignore them or dance on their corposes, it can really relieve some stress at times.

Sigh, people worry too much about pixelated emotes. Don't let someone's taunting ruin your game, just brush it off like anything else.

Pretty sure no one thinks of zrank as a pvp emote. Aaand.. pretty sure that if someone zranked me I would get on with my day. Who cares if some scrub has sat in GTOB and spammed "WTB zkeys 5k each"?

Stress less imo.

If you stop being bad and stop dying you will find the times that your corpse gets zaishen ranked will drop dramatically!

I do it because it pisses some people off. Also its hilarious because its an emote that has absolutely nothing to do with skill or effort.

Aren't immaturity and disrespect at the core of PvP? Sprinkle on a little leet-speak, and that's about all there is... (Beside beating your opponent into submission!)

lol dude you need to take a chill pill and not take life or this game so seriously. I zrank people I kill all the time, dance on their heads and sometimes I sit on their heads as well. Doesn't make me feel superior it just makes me feel 'good'. I get a kick out of the comments once I do it. See, psychology teaches you that for every action there is a reaction and I just love getting a reaction out of the players. I also taunt players during the matches. Especially in FA because it frustrates and upsets some to the point they will seek me out for a 1 vs 1 and forget all about the match and what they are really suppose to do. I get 2500 faction and I get to laugh at them at the end as well for being stupid. lol

Also, in everyday life I am the nicest guy you could know. I help people all day long, help them find jobs, help them with child care services and get back on their feet in life. But, when it comes to my game time and fantasy world I get to be a stinker.
