If I kill someone, I'm like, "great, time to move on". That's not the attitude of the vets. Erhiadkeb dropped me 3 times a single afternoon. Who has a shitty attitude? As far as you three assassins go, maybe you have good intentions and didn't realize that all three of you were fighting me at the same exact time. Or maybe you wanna play an ez-mode ez-mage kill combo which has been cheesy for over a decade. Facing three of you fuckers at the same time, and none of you showing any signs of fighting 1 v 1 was a little ridiculous. Fair fight? Dude, I got magic missiles, leveling solo sucks balls, and you fucks are full on cheesing. It's just an example of what's emblematic of this game. It's a game of exploiting the "powertime" of your character for ez pkwins. Considering that nobody is maintaining CF, none of the imbalances have been fixed in the age of the mud, and considering that you've got folks with 10-20 years of experience thinking hard on how to best exploit imbalances the score teh best pkwin stat, you've got a serious case of a flawed game.
I honestly don't give two fucks about the "roleplay" going on. Neither does anyone playing the game for pvp (which is most of us). CF is a pvp mud. If you're playing CF for "roleplay", then wtf? The "roleplay" thing is a vestage of the old time when corrupt immstaff were handing their buddies bonus perks and needed some subjective mechanism to blame the reward system on. It's been proven over and over that the "rp" thing is just for imm cheating.
Thing is, I knew all this shit. I popped on understanding all of this, and invested dozens of hours to participate in some pvp. Problem was, I assumed that with the playerbase in serious decline that the remaining pbase would not be asshats. I couldn't have been more wrong. The absolute contempt, lack of empathy, lack of any sense of "fair play" in this game has been boiled into a concentrated shitstain. If the only pvp encounters in dozens of hours are lopsided multikilling griefers, it ain't fun.
I think I had one fight in the duration of the character's life where I had a fight which wasn't ridiculously lopsided. Khyso, you fucking noob. Love you.
