People who take things seriously

So I was doing PvP today @ RA because of the Zaishen thing, and thought, well why not? I'm more of a PvE person, so the change might be nice. I decided to make my own build because 1) it's boring to take builds off of websites and 2) the builds aren't that omg!amazing that you really need to use those. Thirdly, and this is related to 1, making your own builds is fun, perhaps especially if you fail really hard; you will want to know why you failed and that makes you think.

So I was PvPing in RA and I had a build with a hammer that included:

Defy Pain
Endure Pain
Griffon's Sweep (love this skill)
Warrior's Cunning
Watch Yourself
Lion's Comfort
Rez sig

And found that Warrior's Cunning was rarely used. Got rid of that, and got Protector's Strike. Why? Because people keep running away and it's annoying. I might use it to do some good damage. I got Rush in there too; for chasing (lasts 19 seconds) and escaping. So slowly over the hour or so, my build changed into that. I think I may have eventually dumped Endure Pain, but before that happened I felt like I didn't want to do RA anymore because of this... well, these two people.
First, a monk did the Ctrl+click thing to spam in the chat that I was using Endure Pain, Griffon's Sweep, and then declared me as a leecher. This was when I was the last person standing (in my team). And then a few battles later we failed quite hard and again a monk was bothered by the fact that I used Endure Pain and Griffon's Sweep, and felt that I should bring more attack skills. (At this point I would like to emphasize that the reason why I brought Endure Pain and stuff is not because I thought this build was the best build in the world. It is because I wanted to experiment; I had never used this kind of tanking thing in PvP. And I had thought beforehand that it might suck and stuff, but these tanking skills lasted quite a while on my bar, i.e. I did not yet think that it wasn't any good. In fact, I was surprised that I was getting a lot of heat by rangers, melee fighters and more.)

And as I was being called a noob and whatnot when we had all bitten the dust, I was mapped back to the little RA island. The thing is—and this really irked me—the monk kept PMing me that I was a noob and bragged about how he had a high rank in the PvP title(s). This person was quite clearly greatly upset. Who the **** PMs people after a fight and still calls them noob? This dude apparently took the game a little too seriously, and apparently was extremely frustrated that I didn't bring more attack skills. (He then PM'd me a build that I had already used.) The whole stinking reason why I did this RA thing was because I want to fool around with my build. If the build is freakin' terrible omgn0ob build, I'll take note of that and change it. That's where the fun is. For God's sake. Should I excuse myself for this? No, goddamnit, no I won't excuse myself for trying to HAVE SOME FUN. Some people need to learn how to relax and have fun. It sucks when you lose, but it's still a freakin' game. Besides that, it's RA... isn't this a place where noobs can just relax and fool around with their build? FFS.

End of rant.

Cool story mate..

Nothing new though, just another pointless rant as i see it.

Ignore feature is win.

You should see me yell at the RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOers in FA that fail!
It's not pretty!

That is why I keep local chat off and keep status at offline....

So I guess no one told you that warriors should be doing damage, not tanking?

Here's a fun fact: other people in RA want to have fun too. But they can't have fun if their team consists of terribad builds like, oh I don't know, DEFY PAIN WARRIARS. Fun in competitive pvp (even if it's shit like RA) is when you have a competent team and playing versus other competent team.
You wanted to be original and made a hammer build that has almost no good skills (+1 for the rez sig), shitty conditional kd and absolutely no conditions? No goddamn deep wound? And you're shocked that people playing with you rage when they see this?
This just proves that anyone can win pve and believe that he's gud at teh gaem for doing so.
Yes, there are so many better ways to tank. In pvp.

So, a rant thread. Cool.
