Factions has been out for around 2 years now, and this struggle has been going on ever since the beginning. I've played alot of ab, on both sides, and theres always the battle cries:
"Lol suxons"
"Lol kurzdic*s"
"You guys always mob"
"You guys always win"
"You guys always lose"
Blah blah blah...
It's funny, because its one game. A simple thing called ab caused a split in a player base which lead to name calling and flaming of another side. It's rare to hear this out of AB/FA, though. I think this is utterly stupid, and try to correct people in AB who do it. What do you guys think/Do about it?

Its all because people like to have a go at their opponents regardless as to whether they are crap or not.
All in all, both sides mob about equally, both sides win about equally, both sides lose about equally, and both sides have bad players & good players equally. The insults stem from this because both sides want an advantage, or to feel better about themselves, despite the fact that they are essentially the same.

im very sarcastically nice when i play ab i say "hello kurzicks" "how are you doing today" usually someone chimes in "oh im doing nice thank you" and we start a lively (yet stupid and pointless) conversation. anyone who calls people suxons and kurzdicks (very unoriginal names btw) are very immiture imo. i laugh at noobs.
MisterT69
It's funny how in AB, Luxons and Kurzicks are trashin each other, and seem to have a mutual hatred for each other. (stupid kurzicks :P) And yet once you go PVE, it's all about the UB, and no1 cares about kurz or lux

It's all harmless banter.

I think it's stupid. And anyone who really takes a side is stupid too.

This really isn't an issue and certainly nothing worthy of making a thread to address. All fun and games. I believe it hard to see people actually think this is a problem. Should remember what RhanoctJocosa said before making another thread like this...
"Damn you, Kurd!cks!"
"Suck on this, Suxons!"
"Damn you, Kurd!cks!"
"Suck on this, Suxons!"

Happens in any game with a factional split that young hormone-controlled teens play. Need I point out WoW?
Although I will admit a little dislike for Luxons, mainly because most times I log in to farm some faction, they own half of Echovald.

It might seem like such a serious life if you strut around with a pole inserted in an uncomfortable place, and I feel for you I truly do (it must be miserable, poor thing)... but - in my experience at least - two thirds of the time it's all in good jest.
Really, if this kind of thing worries you so much you need to make a public display about it I truly do feel sorry for you.

I used to AB a lot back in Factions days and loved it. Most times I'd just ignore any silliness and say good luck at the start and congratulate the victors at the end.
There didnt seem to be too terribly much in terms more offensive banter if I recall back then. The silly name calling of faction derivations were just laughable fun, but the racist and more intent-on-offending language is annoying. That sort of stuff is why I dont PvP very much. You pretty much cant avoid it in any PvP game. Its even generally harmless. I just find it annoying as hell. I just dont need that from a game.

I've always been Kurzick. If I've ever been in a Luxon guild, it was for Cartography purposes.

Try having fun with it. It's childish, immature and stupid. So are the Three Stooges, ya know? The behavior isn't going to go away just because you say it should; best response is to make it fun.
In fact, you probably observe a lot more of this sort of thing than most people, because when people get upset about it...it just makes annoying them more fun.

The ability to taunt the opposite alliance in AB is of the same level as their ability to actually play the game as it should be.

As for the topic at hand... No one has or will ever care.

From my experience...
The ones that suck badly at PvP get into it the most - the first thing that comes to mind is a Jagged strike sin saying "noob runner!"

It's definitely a tool that bad players use to try to get people to make mistakes.
The sad thing is that they persist in the behavior, which implies that some people are stupid enough to 1v1 the Glad's Defense noob rather than switching targets and letting a caster blow him up.

In the "end" it doesn't matter. In between gw1 and gw2 emperor Kisu's son ends the war and they are all canthan or banished from the lands.

This is what happens when you get PvE RPG'ers to play PvP 
We like a bit of antagonism between ourselves and our foes, we get into the roles and act up a bit.
Its all in good fun, just relax and roll with it.

pretty much everyone in AB is equally terribad at this game, so i couldn't care less about what they say to cover up their failure.
I have local chat turned off 24/7 anyway, the people worth taking to have access to either guildchat or alliance chat

On topic, I leave local chat off, because people typically don't have anything worth saying to the other side other than annoy them.

But my point is, it may be in jest most of the time, and it's not really that important and shouldn't be taken seriously, but it is still going to happen in most games.

It's always the same, some fools trying to be on top of other people, and they throw a tantrum when they face the reality.
There are some Luxons that somehow still think that they are allowed to keep some pride and dignity and respond to anything Kurzciks tell them.
They should shut up and deal with the truth: They exist so Kurzicks have something to hit. They are nothing but this. Yet most of them still struggle and keep making puny futile attempts to fight back, when they should stop, stand still and let kurzicks kill them quietly.
Just another proof of the Luxon's absolute lack of politeness
Bleh... those cloth scrappers never learn.

To be honest, I have actually made friends through the verbal mocking of AB. After the battle its usually not rare for at least someone to PM me stating that it was all in good fun. Just roll a jay and know the worlds full of plenty of love.

Yeah, whatever.
Even if that was true, a donkey may take a flute and play a melody once out of luck.
And luxon players can enter matches from Kurzick outposts and lose on purpuse.
So one photo proves nothing.

I can't say I have local off most of the time - I keep it on, wait for some guy to say "i cud pwn u 1v1", "not fair u guys were 4 on me" or "noob runner", then laugh a bit. Relieves boredom. It's generally the retards on the other teams on my side I can't stand, since I generally AB with 3/4 guild or alliance groups...
Y'know, the guys that go "oh look the whole side is mobbing, I'll counter them!!!"... but they sound like "lol mob, i pwn taht".

Instead of name-calling and such, if there's someone annoying me I always say, for example (say the person's name is John Smith):
"John Smith, you me 1v1. Outside Lux gate."
Then it's settled once and for all, with a bit of drama involved ;P
