What makes a 'try hard' a try hard:

Im not sure if its the same on PC/Xbox but on PS4, these are precisely the traits of a try hard:
  1. Running in circles in the towers at resources in PVP non stop. Not fighting back, just mist forming, healing and running in circles.
  2. Claiming to "1vX" or uploading a video of it when your 3-4 opponents were between level 10 and CP 250.
  3. Glitching the AS skin, walking around with it as if you were cool then subsequently getting banned and begging ZOS to not make it perma.
  4. Using the word 'exposed'.
  5. Getting killed then sending this message: "1v1 Stormhaven now" (or 1v1? on its own)
  6. Making a character in a different alliance just to go on zone chat to trash talk. This is one of the highest forms of attention seeking and pathetic behaviour in ESO.
  7. Claiming the game is trash, finished and that you're quitting, only for you to be back online in two weeks to add to your 500+ days of game time played already.


If you're one of these people, please reconsider your life in game and maybe even irl. God help you if you're more than 2 of these.

    Is this thread suppose to be constructive in some way...? Honest question. These kinds of threads do not end well.

    In the end, the only and best option is just to ignore those who have throw their egos out on parade.
    Running in circles in the towers at resources in PVP non stop. Not fighting back, just mist forming, healing and running in circles.

    This is a valid tactic. If the dude is getting zerged down and does this behavior, it's because he's trying to save his own skin. Nothing wrong with this. He's probably waiting on his mates to come rescue him for some good AP.

    I think there are different flavors of this behavior.

    Some people just want to practice and test themselves against a person or build that beats them.

    And then there's the people that feel like they need to prove that they are THE BEST PVPER IN THE WHOLE WORLD AND ILL KEEP GOING FOREVER TO SHOW EVERYONE.

    What makes a tryhard a tryhard? simple..they keep pushing for success regardless of weaither said objective is fun or not, in other words they only do it to make themselves feel more important/famous than others.
    In other words, lay out a grueling, un-fun task with no reward.. and the tryhard will do it just to "prove they are better"

    What makes someone a tryhard?

    Someone else deciding to apply the label to someone they dislike and disdain, that makes the target a tryhard in the disdainer's mind. I doubt there's any objective application of the derisive term.

    I'm messn' with you 13, the day you did that combo to my blue out of stealth gave me a good chuckle. <3 In fact, I'm surprised not a lot of people do that combo to be frank...

    You did what you had to do when Viper was a thing, there is no shame there. Everyone got the Viper/Selene/Veli combo right in the face.

    Oh God! I'm all 7!

    Just kidding. Shouldn't the title be "What makes a 'trying too hard' a 'trying too hard'?

    I have played since Orsinium came out and am just restarting this weekend, but I've got to know if this is actually behavior? It seems like 6 & 7 are still around, but the other ones?

    I suppose, since I have my auto-refuse for duels on I don't even get to see 5.

    Definitely running around the resources towers in Cyrodiil. All I can picture is some fat slob grinning while somehow getting pleasure out of running around in a circle merely surviving just for the sake of it.

    It's a video game and an MMO. It doesn't take skill. It just takes enough cash to PTW and a snarky attitude.

    Does that mean I have to call EVERYBODY a "Tryhard"? After I don't like anyone and have disdain for everyone, most especially me!

    I think I'd call it more of a saunter. I mean, I rarely move faster than a snail.

    It never ends well for the 10 people...well sometimes.

    Well I take that back, cause the 10 people can multiply into 24 and then it's GGs. No that math techincally isn't correct, but you know what I mean.

    those who caps lock

    people who use "your" wrongly after so much time of internet corrections

    When Your Going To Create A Topic Written Like This



    putting multiple spaces between lines



    signing at the end

    editing multiple times

    putting a simple dot as a post, acting as a mistake, but just to make reputation

    creating buzzfeed topics like "if templars used spears what color would the ribbons have"

    those who give useless tips like "get better gear" or "L2P"
