Ppl are taking this game wayyyyyyy^1000 to seriously, omg he zranked me! so what? you suck at RA you get zranked, if you don't wanna get zranked, become better so these guys can't zrank you. (or don't play ra, that works too)

Simple as that

You do like that? Okay, don't be surprised if some people break your legs if you played bad. And then chop your foot off and shove it up your ass.

C'mon guys show good sportsmanship. Say "gg" even if it wasn't a good game and you steamrolled your opponent, its not condescending.

As far as im concerned Z-Rank title is only good for everyone to randomly pick on a guildie by mass impalling, good healthy /laugh. nothing else.

HA Rank emotes mean even less.

If you think you own because you /rank someone, grow up.

If you get upset/annoyed because somebody /ranked you, lighten up.

lol zrank emotes should have been for the gladiator or champion title, seriously why award points for opening a chest?

1. Apply cripshot to wamo
2. Apply /rank to wamo's corpse (or to his face, as you kite him)
3. Wamo is glued to you for the rest of the match
4. Profit???

People can do whatever they want to do. You can choose to ignore it or take it to heart, they could care less. If you want good sportsmanship, I recommend you go do PvE otherwise do not pose these questions.

I personally say gg in every match as soon as it is over. When I consider the match 'over' doesn't always coincide with when the game is physically complete, so people call me an ass sometime.

In reality, they're all being bad mannered to me for not leaving when they've already lost.

See here, if the players are equal in age/experience, it's not big of a deal.

If you kick someone weaker than you and you know he's weaker, it isn't really okay.

Yeah, because flashing an insignificant rank is somehow equated to verbally assaulting someone.

Make up your minds. Either the rank emote means something, in which case they have every right to hit you with it as they've earned it, or it's meaningless and you have no reason to care.

It seems more that people can't handle not being led around with their hands held.

Too bad people scamming in-game are also liars and thieves irl. Not like car thieves, more like shoplifting.

It's really hard to change your behaviour if you got used to it after X (maybe XX sometimes) years.

Stop using these examples!! Have you not figured out that they just don't apply?

If you kick someone in RL and he's weaker than you, that's a dick move and can really hurt the guy.
If you zrank someone who sucks more than you, that's gloating, doesn't hurt them at all, and *shouldn't* emotionally scar them or anything.

Real life =/= not real life

Although I might be able to see where you're coming from; but in that case, I'd say fire the guy you pay to punch you in the face every time you get zranked.

the only thing that would make me laugh harder when they Zrank me is if they danced on me after they zrank me. zrank is just the lame version of rank. Rank takes skill to get, even if your just running touchers. Zrank might as well be an ebay emote, since you can just get the gold, buy the keys, open the chest, and than think you got skills 'cus you have a gold spear with other weps, that wont do anything but make your e-peen bigger... or at least thats what you think.

For someone being so concerned about people using their title-based emote on you, I don't think you're in any position to say anybody is emotionally scarred.

I'm not necessarily on the side of keeping the emotes, but they're not that big of a deal.

Avarre wasn't saying that you should live your life like that... as Avarre stated, its a GAME, not RL... Do what you want in game, it doesn't really matter. If people let what you do affect them that is their own fault.

Hmmm lets see, GW being a competitive game is a belief now? It is a competitive game, just because people beat you and then decide to be a jerk and zrank you doesn't mean that you should get bent out of shape. Its really not that big of a deal.

The people comparing the ranking to real-life situations are pretty hilarious. xD

Do you give the Charr that speach too, when they gloat you? :P

If you don't like being /ranked, you can 1: Not die so much. 2: Get a higher rank then them and /rank them back. I don't see what the issue is. If you die a lot, and don't like the /rank being flashed at you...learn to not die so much, or play PvE instead (though you might want to avoid the Charr, as their gloat might offend you).

This just reminded me, a similar incident with some newspaper report about some kid who was apparently "tea-bagged" at school and the paper blamed the occurrence to video games like Halo and Counter-Strike for promoting the action.

Turns out it was just harmless fun (no sexual assault or anything like that, just re-enacting the movements or whatever) but the carebears behind the newspaper had to make a story out of it...

You asked the question, I answered it. You can hardly say 'why are you responding, you care too much' when you're the person who cared enough to make the thread.

Either you're insane or you're a troll, and I doubt the latter.

don't care actually, but find it extremely hilarious when players zrank you after you've kill them a thousand time 1vs1, after which they bring their buddies, kills your character and zrank you. some of those have tigers and bambi emotes too hahahaha
