Yeah, got similar yesterday when some guys tried to Xv1 focus me but I kited away each time (because they didn't have nor damage nor gap closers), so he wrote something like: "don't PVP. Heal! Run!" and blocked me.
And that continued for good half-hour

I can understand his frustration, but if you whisper and block immediately after that... idk, this is best salt on the market

Thats some good quality salt. Thank you for sharing.

Someone told me that I was ganking. In BGs. In the middle of the enemy team. And block me after that.

The salty tells I usually get revolve around playing in a premade, even though I almost always solo queue. One guy raged and I told him I was solo and he calmed down, but most people when they start raging don’t stop.

Too many people wrap their egos in how they perform in the game.

I had someone, who was inside a keep we were trying to defend, whine at me for being a "thristy ****" because I attacked him.

Just use my standard reply “LoL”

The salty potatoes aka french fries are not worth much effort....if any

Luckily the main PvP community is low-key and fun to be around.

Yeah I've had a couple people that I managed to calm down, because I'm excited to try BG's without premades too. Your group is luck of the draw and a healer can be worth 2 damage dealers. In this particular instance, they must of had their game set to not accept whispers because nothing would send to them. I tried grouping with them, they declined and then blocked me lol.

I got this type of message yesterday too. He said I was "thirsty AF" after I got the last kill on him and I said "lol, you played well. I had to give up on you sometimes." because he was very good at breaking line of sight and none of my attacks would connect, I'd straight up just walk away when he reached full health. He said something about animation cancelling too, but IDK what he meant. All I do is light attack weave, I'm not block cancelling or bashing which actually requires effort. (BGs) Then he started saying "we would of won if we had a healer and our templar wasn't crap". Alright lol.

I usually try to reason with them, but there is a ton of people who just have whispers declined so they can send whatever they want, with no reply back or block you the moment they send a message.

I know he is salty and all, but gotta admit if the enemy team has 2 magdens it's a pain, 100% snare uptime and they survive even 4vs1 focus even tho it's no cp. Basically who has magdens in their team wins, this is what bgs is right now. Plus some of them are not simply tanky healers, they even pull out over 10k northern storm.
Hope next patch won't be this lame tank meta

I once played with my guild of around 10 people. While sieging, a magNB tried to gank me. I spotted him and attacked, and of course my guildies helped. He died and called me a zerg surfer.
(It's a team game yo)

This was 10 months ago though

The sheer gall, defending your keep.

My favorites are the solo players (typically 1VX or ganker types) that kill/try to kill someone at the back of our group and then complain about being zerged down.

I just got "thirsty situation" too

I was moving from Ash to Nikel when I saw guy at siege from my alliance. In few moments he was attacked by somebody. My natural reaction was to interfere... "ganker" immediately stopped fighting at sight of me and started running... fast. We chased him a bit and I withdrew and went to stealth... guess what, attacker immediately turned around and attacked my ally. I returned and chase continued. At some point he used invis pot. What I heard after that... full list -> zergling, disgusting, thirsty and what's most important - i broke 1v1 and all this is recorded for vod. After I proposed 1v1 to ganker I was immediately blocked.
I specially asked my ally after that if it was 1v1, he said no he was just attacked. Well, now I'm hoping to see that chase on video, so I can continue dialog with that youtuber

btw his nickname was beginning from Salt

From a similar vein, I had an EP get mad at me because I couldn't find him. Kept calling me dumb along with a bunch of slurs. The whole time he failed to grasp I was luring him closer to where I wanted him. Gap closed right into me and killed him almost immediately because I was using stealth detection pots and he couldn't get away. Never seen anyone log off so fast in my whole ESO life.

I play BG a lot and I made an enemy with some tank that ended up trash talking me after a match with his settings on to not accept whispers, because of course. People love to dish it out without having to worry about taking it..online.

Anyway, I saw them kill one of my pug team mates and then stood there for a while teabagging them, so I managed to kill them and rightfully so, I tea-bagged them right back. After that, anytime I noticed I was fighting them for 10seconds solo without their health budging I would just move on because I clearly didn't have the damage or time to deal with a tank build that managed only 200k dmg/healing at the end of the match.

We ended up winning, next thing I know I have 6-9 long and constant berating whispers about how sweaty I am, how crap my build is, how I was afraid to fight him and just ran away, how I'm a noob for using crown TRI pots and how I spam aoes to get more assists to increase my score. To be fair, he probably saw me trying out caltrops because I was curious.

So, I ignored them and reported them.

I was stumbling across Minion for different add-ons and I found a cool ignore add-on that puts a mark on your cursor when you're looking at people on you're ignore list. I normally don't remember names, but now, I constantly see my cursor light up when I'm playing and I'll be honest, winning a match against them makes the match 100% better.

I really don't tea-bag or message people personally unless I'm curious about their build, but this guy.. I'll throw in a little tea-bag for fun if I ever kill them. They apparently love doing this to people because now that I'm aware of when I'm playing with them, I've seen them tea-bag random people too.

The whole thing is quite funny to me.

Yeah, I don't understand why people take it all so seriously. It's fine to whisper or even t-bag a little, I always perceive this like an acknowledgment that I managed to p**s off that player, which is good imo. This means he is not bored, you are not bored, and there is nothing worse then to be bored in computer game.
