How I Got To Alliance War Rank 50 Without Teabagging Once

DeadlyRecluse

Seems like you missed a chance to claim this as a "World's First no-tbag GO."

T-bagging a mate in the middle of Rakkhat Hard Mode or a mate who just got rekt? Hell yeah.

T-bagging someone because you're salty? Why bother? Chances are your desire to T-bag came from an unfair death or something else of the sort, therefore the simple fact of killing the guy speakes louder than a T-bag.

Not interesting enough to read, if you can do that without being teabagged let me know. That I would read about...

Lol, imagine you’re 10k AP from rank 50 and some random in your faction starts bagging you

Teabagging just to a bad sport is the worst. i don't respect people who do that, or if they are super salty about dying. Bagging friends or an enemy player gets stuck in the environment or under the ground....i do that. I do it as a friendly little joke.

Teabagging is unambiguously good and you self-righteous people are confused.

Congratulations! I really respect this choice to be honorable! I don’t find the humor in it either (maybe because as you mentioned, I’m more sensitive to acts of sexual assault since I survived it myself).. it is just a game, but there’s no reason to be insulting to anyone.. Even after a children’s sporting event, most coaches and parents encourage the kids to walk by and shake hands with the other team...I hope at least those kids continue to be raised to show respect to others.

People still making a big deal out of 'to bag or not to bag' ????
Sad sad world

Grats on reaching max level though

I kind of revenge T-bag, or as Hecker77 does, when someone thinks they will dominate you completely - and then fail. I have a bunch of weirdos always T-bagging me, some (German I think) AD guys I don't know, and whom I can't remember I've ever had anything to do with besides killing them. They rarely even appear on my death recap, but still frantically T-bag me for like a minute (i kid you not) if they find my corpse. I'd really like to meet them, and see what their problem really is. :-)

Generally, this is part of human nature, just as "zerging down" single individuals. It shows a nasty side of mankind, the one which explains war crimes and lynchings in real world. Unfortunately, I have seen it for real too - as I was kind of involved in "extremism" with riots and *** when I was younger.

It's been a long and arduous journey, my friends, but I've finally made it, and I couldn't have done it without all of you. Whether you were an AD ally helping storm a keep or a DC/EP opponent putting together a steadfast defense, it takes a community to build up a PvP environment that's competitive and active enough to let its players go the distance. So to all of you, I say : Thank You!!

There are some, of course, who are not so community-minded. Certain undesirable elements who seek to disrupt the friendly and sporting atmosphere that the rest of us have been working hard to hold together. You know the type. The zone chat trolls. The CE users. The teabaggers. The kind of folks who find their fun in ruining that of others. And to these I say : Manifold Shame!!

In particular I've always been greatly opposed to this habit of "teabagging" that's plagued the gaming community, such that when I first started PvPing I decided I would make the effort to never do it, no matter how angry someone made me or how guilty they were of the offence themselves. It's certainly been a difficult journey, and you may ask "Really, Men'Do, you've never done it? Not even once? Not even just a little bit?" And it's true, never!! Here's how.

First, I started by not being an absolutely terrible person. This is key, but something people might forget to try in their efforts to improve. If you find yourself hitting the bag too much, give "not being an awful human being" a shot and you might just be surprised at the results!

Second, I remember that this game was advertised as featuring simulated combat, and that bringing in simulated sexual assault might be an inappropriate addition to the mix. Usually when people want a game that simulates sexual assault, they go to one of the many tripple-A studio franchises that are known for it, and not to some random combat simulator game with fantasy elements and lizard people. Bringing in this rogue element to an unrelated game genre might in fact be really unexpected and upsetting for people, such as those who've experienced sexual violence in real life, who know that they need to be careful with what kinds of games they play due to the associated trauma.

Third, I try some perspective-taking. Even if my group takes down someone who I know is a serial bagmunster, I consider what effects bagging them back might have on unrelated bystanders who don't know the context. What if this person is just a zerg surfer (and in my experience they all are) and none of their fallen fellow faction members know them? Will they understand that I only mean to offend the degenerate, and not their group as a whole? Probably not. And what of the other AD who see me doing it? Will they start thinking it's appropriate behavior, and not actually really foul and unsporting conduct that we as a community would prefer not to encourage? Again, I really doubt it.

Finally, I consider all of the other taunting options available in the game for when you really just need to do something. A good ol' /stomp works wonders, I've found. Some people really appreciate the mileage they get out of /sweep or /shovel. And let's not forget the array of "hard taunts" available for when you're looking to do some polite razzing, such as to an opposing guild you like to fight. The juggling knives, the flower petals, the firebreathing torches, and the swallower's swords from the yearly in-game holiday festivals are all great for giving your fallen opponents a spirited and entertaining show before they res up and run back for the next battle!

As for the actually getting to Grand Overlord II, that part was relatively straightforward. Just run consistently, preferably with a guild, and as often on the same character as you can manage. Take advantage of the double AP event next year. Take some time off of work during the event if you're really craving those ranks. Some of the dyes are totally worth it, trust me. And don't forget to play when you're having fun and take breaks when you aren't! Don't burn yourself out, it's a game and you're probably here to enjoy yourself. After that it's just, yanno, years of persistence, and you'll be set, even if you have a normal-people schedule and can't raid every night! That's been my situation, and yet here we are.

So what's next for Men'Do? Will I be hanging up the tabard and retiring to an island in the Topal Bay? LOL of course not. But at least as far as Cyrodiil PvP goes I'll probably soon be switching to something that's more useful to my guild than a stam DK. And I look forward to all the new kinds of fights we're going to have together when I do!! Seeya out there, folks.

Not all men'do xD

Seriously though GZ!

The other emotes from that pack are great, though, if a little mean-spirited at times.

I was actually thinking of /bellylaugh, /kissthis seems course at best.

I enjoy when people t-bag me, normally I don't release for quite some time. Next time when I die same people don't do it again because they see it does not bother me
