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.

Anet encourages it, lol.

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

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.
Daenara
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.

What's the obsession with pixelation?

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.

Die less? Get moar skill?
Besides the ztitle is just bought anyway.
EDIT- Oh the emotes look baed anyway IMO

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!)

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.

I'm surprised that no one judges the action when someone flashes a hoh /rank emote on ppl?
- so... I have a hero rank and that gives me the right to flash it all around every time I can but ppl won't say I'm a noob cus I'm "good" in hoh - lol
/zrank & /rank flashing constantly on ppl are bad - not just zrank but the other emote as well

a) Call him a stupid n00b in a PM. Repeatedly. Be sure to misspell a lot, mention his mother, his sister, and the good time you three had last night.
b) Kill him and rank him back... owait
c) I'm surprised this topic gets anything other than troll responses... what is this, 2005?
/rank
Yeah, you're jealous.

I got a zrank but lets see... I EARNED MINE by doing pvp and getting balthazar points and not waisting my cash. I get titles and not get them the cheap way. Just ignore the people who do that to u and just play something else like STRESS RELIEVER that always helps :P. You can always kill them then dance all over them.

A perfect reasonable answer from Anet would be: 'It's working as intended'

I always zrank corpses of people who talk shit in Local. Why do I do it? Because it enrages them and they flame which makes me happy.

Hopefully this thread will drive up the price of zkeys. 6k ea... gogogo

welcome to teh interwebz, may I take your coat?
Usually people zrank to show off, but I myself only zrank whammos who attempt to insult you with variations of the word "noob" because you're a cheater for kiting.
And yes, zrank does not show skill of any kind. It's like a torment weapon, VS, or any other title in the game; having them means nothing, they're just flashy. And if it seriously ruins your gaming experience, you've got problems.

Kook~NBK~
Anyone who /zranks as an expression of "superiority" is doing nothing but showing their a**, ESPECIALLY in PvP areas. Once you consider that that emote has nothing to do with skill and more to do with bought Z-keys or making good guesses in the tournaments (in most cases), then it's very easy to understand that it's the other guy's problem and not yours.

theres a difference between earning a title directly vs earning money to buy the title
sweet tooth and drunkard r obviously more materialistic titles and money has a more direct role into earning those titles
u mite as well say someone who paid for runners on every single one of his missions earned his legendary guardian title
kostolomac
I only got zranked 2 times in AB, however it often happens that the someone from the losing side in RA shows his glowing animal when he dies , just making himself more pathetic. It's not a nice thing to do, but people aren't nice.

on the other hand I see no reason to do it the "honest" way. Almost everybody that goes for guardian has done most or all of the missions at one point and there is nothing wrong with buying help or more effectively time if you have the ressources.The difference isnt that big though, it is possible to get party etc by farming specific areas or farming during events. And there was a lot of sarcasm in my post that you might or might not have missed
.After all, everything in this game is money in one form or another.
I don't mind bought titles, it's not up to me to decide how others want to achieve them.
I just dislike calling everything "earned" and thus devaluating other's achievements, especially for crap like the Ztitle
Hell, I went offtopic on such an interessting matter! <- very
Back to topic: /zranking anywhere is stupid. I stopped Tombs around E/Mo Dual Smite with r7 and that might have been the last time I used my /rank ugly dog. Emotes don't mean anything. The Z-emote is Anets answer to all the PvE players that wanted something flashy without PvPing. Too bad the flashy is that ugly. If you get /zranked, don't bother. Really not worth it.
