PvP is serious business

Sometimes when I see the sorts of things people on video game forums get apoplectic about, I wonder what the next few years of hiring are going to be like where I work.

I used to worry that younger generations were going to be more naturally skilled at technology and overtake me such that I'd lose my cushy IT position to some upstart whippersnapper. The internet has assuaged those fears quite handily thanks to silly things like this...

It's a game. If you are that worked up, either about "dishonor" or leeching, you really need to look at those anger issues. Hmmm, I got dishonor. Golly, I guess I'll just have to do something else for however many MINUTES I'm banned. If you have snot issues, or gotta piss, screw it. Are you going to go all Cartman and get a pan to poop in because AB is so intense(Jesus, it's AB!)? If you have a leecher there, then look at it as a challenge. C'mon. With the quality of PvP in AB, it's not like being a man down matters.

To those who talk about their kids diapers or whatever... I would hope, no, I would PRAY, that a dishonor inconvenience is more than worth it to take care of your kid's real-life issues.

Kid's first memory of daddy: being passed to him in front of a glowing screen to be changed. Freaking nice Hallmark moment, that.

PvP is serious business? A few guys in the military, police, fire departments and emergency rooms might be able to enlighten you about "serious' business.

The first time you get dishonor it doesn't last long and it expires.

If you leech because you sneeze too hard or have to go do something, you still leech. Why should you get points while you're not even playing the game?

People are too quick to report in Alliance Battles, give the person a couple of minutes before you /report. I've gotten a disconnect from a random hiccough in my internet service, and I reconnect to see that I have been reported and we aren't even halfway through the game. GG.

<SARCASM>Nope! Having a bad connection is no excuse, you filthy, horrible leech! After all, it's your own fault for not having a perfect ISP!</SARCASM>
