pwned... how do you react?

TBH I have never been "pwned". I dish out the "WTF"s and recieve the"I HATE YOU"'s, not the opposite.

Usually the more people hate you or say rude things... the more affirmation you have that you are doing your job correctly.

This is very true. For example... I get flammed to hell by people for shutting them the hell down when I play mes and I always get stuff like "wow you f'ing mesmer" or something along those lines.

My all time favorite line to this day was this:

"you shitty ass mesmer. all you can do is interupt me. only pussies play mesmer because they don't know how to take damage and that's why YOU play mesmer! 1v1 me and then come talk to me."


I lol'ed so freaking hard the whole time he said this to me and I still do when I think about it.

Rage is the only answer.

Depends how I lose.

If it's to OP shit like illusion of pain, i nerdrage about the skill needing a nerf. If it's (in RA) because I have a W/Mo using healing breeze, a N/Mo with ressurect and a E/R with flare then I nerdrage at them to uninstall.

If I got shut down, I silently complain to myself. Anything else it's just gg.

Yesterday i got pwned by 2 wammos... But those 2 kids were amazing. They D-choped and interrupted all of my skills. I was just... Disappoint.

If I get pwned, I suck it up and try again. Hopefully I won't face that same person again, but if that's the case, I'll try a different tactic this time.

Of course, that usually leads to getting another beating...

Anyway, there's always someone better out there, so nothing much I can do about it. Might as well just prepare for the next fight.

If they took the time to flame me instead of going for the next target I feel it's only polite to insult their heritage.

I really only complain about Defy Pain warriors cause that skill is OP in pvp. Spear attacks always hitting 0's and them outhealing the damage. I may also say something to people who talk bad about me. Otherwise I don't complain...to my opponents. I always trash my team if I find them to be morons, and I'm not afraid to tell them.

I realize that in PvP, there is always a build that can destroy another build. Even with the most refined build to minimize getting destroyed by another build, it still happens. When it does, I try to see if I can beat it by modifying my bar. If the build that is destroying me is popular, then I'll modify my bar, if not, then I just understand that I might just run into that build that rolls me.

When I do get rolled, I get agitated, and wait for the chance that they die, so I can Zrank them, then avoid them the rest of the match to avoid retaliation.

Lol. I gotta say you're the same as me. When I kill someone I tiger + r7 zrank them out of pure griefing (c'mon... EVERYONE knows how much fun it is 'cause of how mad people get over a shiny emote) and it seems they try and spend the entire match trying to kill me afterwards. xD

I dont get pwned, cause I don't PvP.

lol there goes one way to look at it. xD

If it's something more important than a mere round in RA, such as GvG, you have to understand how you lost. If you (I) did something wrong, obviously I would beat myself up a little about it. It's a game though.

A wise person told me not to dwell on losses. I realised all he had was common sense.

Everyone gets pwned at some point. I just laugh it off while saying 'Good lord, I was raped'.

I decided to cease PvP activity when i realised that a fair amount of PvP'ers like to gloat and rub salt into the wounds.

I'm not a bad loser, or thin skinned but any chance of me trying to get into PvP was ruined by those types.

I might have had bad luck with opponents or teams but when winning or losing the hatefest is from both sides, and quite frankly does nothing to promote what could have been the 'endgame content'.

to the OP, unless it was flames that were just unnecessary i'd shrug and join the q for another match..

Since using specialized assassins and heavily outnumbering me are often my enemies' only two chances at defeating me, it does not bother me much if it actually happens.

AB, Cripshot & Wammo's, the perfect combination to make things rage

lol buildwars.

You guys don't hold back on stroking your egoes do you?

PS. If you don't get what I'm hinting at, chances are you are bad.

AB is serious business
