This is what's wrong with society. Getting killed over and over in a video does NOT cause distress. If it does for you get medical help immediately there is something seriously wrong with your mental fortitude and without help you are in for a long life of depression.

Maybe he was grinding AP! If you were in CWC yer already wrong for even being there grinding.
I kinda feel for those that want to explore Cyrodill without the threat of a PVP kill, but it is afterall a PVP zone. Change up yer tactics, I've snuck all over Cyrodill without being spotted (pesky tower NPCS!!).

This extortion issue using game mechanics for ingame currency is not an issue that should be taken out of the game, it should be dealt with by the players in the game. Get protection, or find another grind spot.
I don't agree with the method, as a player, but I see it as fair game in a cutthroat atmosphere like the Imperial Sewers.
Amazing. I would hope that people wouldnt want to let this grow.Eventually,no one will go where this can be done to them.Not IC,and not Cyrodiil.It will only further the bad name of PvPers who do this for their own fun.So,who will they gank if no one ever wants to go there? As to the TV stones,soon people will stop going for them.So where will they get all those stones then? They'll have to get them for yourselves.
I'm not speaking of you,as a player.Judas.
It's quite simple Volk, the ganks will gank and extort each other. The IC has its own target playerbase, the people who love that cutthroat atmosphere, just like every other game and DLC. Whether you, and not you personally, decide to walk out of your comfort zone and brave the dangers for the reward is up to you; If not, don't buy the product.

Please clarify how I proved you point?By saying don't take everything personal?Its a game?Just because someone beat you doesn't mean they are bullying you?Sorry if to me that doesn't consult bullying.newtinmpls wrote: »
Just stepping in here...it's bullying because he's picking on just the one group he knows he can beat (aka farming noobs)...and on top of that demanding gold because otherwise he won't leave them alone.
The guy is a jerk.
Bring your guild in, should be able to summon a good 30 helpful, angry people on offnights to back you up OP, and 100 on peak hours easy...pretty sure that will do the trick

If you can't win, go do something else for a few hours. Because normally you'd just be dead and feeding the ants and maggots. What's next, are you going to go report that world boss for being too hard? That gravity for being too unforgiving? That treasure chest for being too masterful?
I mean, ***.
You clearly didn't read the post so I'll try to go slowly so maybe you'll understand.
He is not upset at dieing over and over. He is upset that the ganker is demanding him and his group to pay him 20,000 gold from each member of the group to stop ganking them.
So he is asking if asking players for money to stop being a griefer is against the rules.

This I will agree with.However,..c'mon. It's just an ugly way to play.Demanding Gold for leaving people alone? Kill them and take their stones,yes,but not to extort gold from them,..no.

They didnt want the stones,they wanted 20k gold to leave the other player alone.
Nah, they want both - those 20k per person and then gather the tears by not sticking to the contract. I would never negotiate with scum.

Really? Shows that you know nothing about people.They tend to like to use and play what they pay for,..games.Games have always been a way to get away from stress,and if you dont think games can cause stress,it is YOU who need medical help.
Throughout time,people have gambled,..games,.and have killed themselves because of it.So,yes gaming can cause stress.It isnt the losing of money in ESO,its the abillity to be allowed to continue on playing,free of some jack-a-s-s who wont let them alone after being asked to. If you only have so much time to play a game you pay for,and dont want it to be wasted by a player wanting gold to leave you alone,..and quite a bit of gold at that,you're going to be stressed out.
And dont say:
"Urrmmm,..if you dont have the time,dont play."
Derp.

It's not diminishing in the sense of consecutive kills. It's time since last kill for AP. A couple minutes between each kill. Tel var is purely a % of what stones the player has on him at time of death

What contract,Lysette? The OP didnt make a contract with anyone.
I dont know,..maybe my problem is that I respect the wishes of others more than I do my own gameplay.
I just dont think a game should bring out the worst in other people,but I guess I have to admit it does,..and others think it's funny when someone isnt enjoying their game because of it.
I hate that in anyone.It makes me ashamed.

Ah ok thanks for the clarification. I thought it would be worth less and less every time back to back.Sheezabeast wrote: »Don't you get a diminishing amount of TV stones and AP for killing the same person over and over?

I didn't assume they wanted the stones though They were in a PVP enviroment, yes. The ganker is just as entitled to grind AP as the OP is entitled to grind mobs. Is asking someone not to kill you non-conducive to PVP? Yeah. But the people claiming its role-playing are full of crap and its silly to see people over-reaching to justify being a greedy jerk.

It's because certain ones are just like that greedy jerk.So they need to defend him.

Otherwise just git gud.

Or he was enjoying the game that he paid for and doing PvP in a PvP zone. Why do you think you have any right to ask a PvP player to stop PvPing? Flip the scenario a PvP who isn't good at PvE wants to grind your special PvE leveling spot. He's running around trying to keep up and get experience, you are out grinding him. He messages you to leave the area so he can grind it without you taking the experience. You just leave? Ok np I want to level my character here but sure I'll leave... complete BS.
I honestly, don't understand the confusion here at all.
1) You know most of the game is PvE only
2) You know you are going into a PvP area
3) You know in a PvP area you can get you know PvP'd and killed
But you still QQ about it. It's like telling the police office who's giving a speeding ticket "Yeah I know the listed speed was 25, but I wanted to go 50 so because I wanted to you shouldn't give me the ticket."

You sound like a psych job fits you well.
First of all IMO, since you messaged him first your case is hurt a ton. I'm not sure if you asked him to leave you alone and that was his suggestion, or if you asked what you could do to get him to stop, but that fact is very important as well. A realistic account of what happened is needed so we are all just speculating.
If a grinder for xp was doing a better job than you getting xp and you messaged him to stop and it ended in payment being the end all, i don't see a problem on it at all what so ever. It's still "breaking" your experience and rule 2.5 technically, if you're a little entitled.
I see nothing wrong unless he messaged you first demanding it out he wouldn't stop, and even then i don't think it's a problem. Plenty of options to get away from that situation...
