    In my opinion it depends on how you gank. If you and your 3 max level friends hide outside a keep to kill the same low level player over and over again, then you deserve hatred. If you are alone and gank players in a similar level / experience range, then sure, why not. Most of the time when people try to gank me they fail to do so in the initial it and I get a nice fight. And if you manage to kill me with one hit, the gz, nice build.

    If you were ganked its your fault not the ganker. He just uses your weak points, templars and DKs are like real tanks, slow but when they have time to buff up they will squish you like an egg, so you need to get them when theyre not buffed up. When I created NB I used to gank but this kind of fighting doesnt suit me well so Ive.switched back to sorc, now I play magplar and gues what? I hunt gankers, not because I hate them, because I can. Once again if you die to a ganker its because you choosed to do so. They have tools to kill you fast, you have tools to defend (Radiant Magelight, Evil Hunter, Caltroops, Scorching Flare, any AoE, shields, impenetrable, even your own stealth), if you dont use any of them yoe deserve to be ganked. Many kills my shadowy adversaries, hope we WILL SEE on a battlefield ;)


    Edit:
    ...but ganking Xv1 is lame, like being 3/4 vs 1 wouldnt be enough, lets go hide and show how awesome we are -_-

    Ofc that´s the whole point.

    The problem about it: it is not fun for the victim because the whole point of proper ganking is to leave your opponent no chance to fight back.
    Having no chance to fight back is ok in singleplayer games - it has no place in multiplayer imo.
    Healthy pvp requires to be fun for every participant - or atleast leave the looser with a feeling that he can either improve or avoid the situation the next time.
    I´d argue getting virtually 1shot by an opponent that was invisible before he choose to murder you leaves you with none of those feelings.

    Let's face it, eso pvp wouldn't give those feelings without gankers. Stamina is king, every projectile attack is dodged, and the maluplars are irritating when they camp on top of your sewers base exit. Pvp will never be fun for everyone lol.

    Oh, and to improve the whole being ganked situation: keep shields up, have inner light or better yet radiant slotted, impen/crit resistance, put points in health or use food if you need to, don't run your horse out of stam across a bridge on your way to a fight, and finally, quit checking your inventory in the middle of the sewers :lol:!

    A larger radius is fine, but that locking out stealth BS needs to go. Seriously, think about it in terms of other classes. What would happen if there were skills that could lock out templar's breath of life, dk's wings, and sorc's shields...the forums would explode.

    Something that locks other classes from using their skills... You mean like poisons that drain all your resources? Thank goodness there's nothing like that in the game. :D

    And besides with BoL, wings and shields you still sit there taking damage, but cloak just takes you out of the fight if you know how to use it properly. I use mistform and invis pot to escape and it's ridiculous how effective it is, even with that loooong cooldown.

    Don't try to compare the lockout of cloak with poisons, not even close, sorry. Getting hit with poison while full on resources won't prevent you from using anything, and if you happen to already be low on a resource before the hit (let's say magicka) then If you have a pot up you can use it or do a heavy attack and have access to all of your skills...because none of them were LOCKED OUT.

    Most nbs know how to use cloak properly, it's the fact that it's been broken forever + there are so many counters that cause people to not even bother. My point was not about what the abilities listed do, but rather taking the skill each class is known for and then having counters that cause a lockout for them. Just like with cloak.

    Remember that awful episode of Ultimate Warrior with the Spartan vs the Ninja?

    Yeah, it was junk. Totally ignoring the rubbish about the Ninja (read the actual historical evidence for them, it's nothing like we like to think it is) the Ninja would have NEVER gone toe to toe with a Spartan like that.

    He'd have killed him in his sleep, but you can bet the Spartan would have sent him hate tells.

    Or just remove the ability to be permanently invisible without any cost associated to it.

    Also keeping shields up and having radiant magelight - anyone who still uses those as an argument just destroys their own credibility on the matter.

    He is talking about stamina, he uses the word, he points out he's talking about stamina and you bring up an ability that is literally the only reason to play a mageblade over a stamblade, which only a magblade can spam which to be clear here stamblades would laugh at as they don't need to spam it as they use it between dodge rolls.

    Yeah true I guess. I get killed by gankers all the time and its never bothered me, is it slightly annoying, sure but then so is dying while in a fight an having to run back anyway. I just dont get the people you see calling them scumbags etc

    What he said isn't true at all for the majority of players.

    People don't like losing, sure, but most don't "hate" a player after a fair loss.

    What people do hate are cheesy undeserved kills, being killed in a situation where they are unable to respond or fight back, players who actively prey on undergeared or underleveled players, or what they perceive as skilless play.

    And let's be honest...ganking with a proper build is among the easier play styles in the game. There are plenty of published builds capable of one shotting 25k+ health players, not to mention bugs such as the ravage health poison one shots and Incap unbreakable ccs, so ganking successfully really just comes down to selecting weak, distracted, or afk opponents and escaping.

    TLDR: gankers are generally afraid to engage in fair combat, use builds that lack counterplay and often utilize exploits, and target afk or underleveled players or those already fighting other players.

    If you want respect, fight in the open.

    It's not the gankers I hate (well, that's not entirely true, it seems a disproportionate amount of them are full of ego and machismo or maybe they just more open in showing those traits), it's the dumb balance in this game that allows players to insta-kill with combos and cloak away at will if they fail.

    First time I've heard of this terminology, but I have been on the receiving end of this countless times, a few times I've managed to survive but most times it's happened to me I have been completely incapacitated and there is absolutely nothing I can do to prevent dying, can't even put my shield on. #nerfsorcerers

    I got half way through the thread and started reading replacing the first letter with a W. It's a much more entertaining read.

    I noticed most people simply don't want to group on the campaigns I play on (Spell Breaker and Ebony Blade on EU PC), even after I request it in zone chat, fight alongside them for hours, deploy siege engines, heal group with vigor and even res them when they are down. They simply ignore me as if I'm not even there. I'm not a top fighter but I'm not useless either. So I really don't understand why they are so indifferent. As a consequence I mostly go alone in Cyro and IC, soloing resources and participating in sieges, but not as part of a group. So I occasionally get ganked, most times by 2-3 players waiting in stealth. If there's just one I have good chance of beating him: break free, cheap ult, vigor, execute usually saves me. Sometimes I'm in the situation of being cornered, stealthing but being unable to escape a larger group. I know I'll be caught and killed anyway but why not make some AP? So I end up attacking from stealth and killing some. Is that even considered "ganking"?

    Well if a "ganker" is hiding in between keeps and objectives and picking off stragglers of a group to thin out the numbers and or to slow them down you really can't call it ganking since they are actually contributing to the fight. Gankers are really just ash holes who are killing for AP and just to make some un-suspecting questers life mislabel who is doing nothing towards AvA and is just trying to level up or finish some quest.

    Gankers teach a valuable lesson to those who don't want to stay with the group or those who believe chasing that squirrel is worth it. Hurray for the gankers....now if players would just learn the lesson.

    Some bruised egos in this thread. That's why people hate gankers; wounded pride. You see, they're awesome..and gankers didn't give them a chance to be awesome.
    I know some great gankers, and do a little myself from time to time (but I'm merely OK at it). It's not an ego thing for many, it's relaxing. You're off on your own. It's quiet. You're not lagging out at whatever Emp keep has 200 players piled up on it.

    TLDR: gankers are generally afraid to engage in fair combat, use builds that lack counterplay and often utilize exploits, and target afk or underleveled players or those already fighting other players.

    If you want respect, fight in the open.
    I agree that once one has the right set-up, ganking is quite straightforward; but there are plenty of more challenging instances where I've ganked fully aware high-ranked players in the middle of their group and got out.

    Also...didn't you just post in a different thread about you and your group preying on a level 10 and laughing about killing him by only using entropy lol?

    My group ran across him randomly. Hardly "preying," but spin it how you want to. My group seeks out large zergs and guild groups.

    Some gankers I respect its a part of the game and they do it well.....others not so much when they run and hide if they find that they can't kill you in a few seconds.
