Overkill much?

The problem here is that you didn't state that it was merely your opinion. You stated it as if it was a fact.

People who ONLY PvP --- are jerks. Always have been trash talking jerks, who want nothing more than to stuff you in a locker and laugh with their fat, stupid friends as they walk away. People who PvP, and only PvP, are just not right in the head. You can't be to WANT to take/give that kind of abuse to others.

The End.

Pretty sure OPINION =/= PERCEPTION. My opinion of PvPers, fulltime PvPers, is the vast majority are like little kids with a big magnifying glass and a t-shirt that says, "Burn baby burn". People who willingly pur themselves in the position of wanting to take a beating, are victims, and people who willingly pick a play style which involves beating others mercilessly, are little more than bullies. Arenas are just about the only relatively balanced and controlled environment for PvP.

But, if I choose to think of PvPers as sociopaths, that is my prerogative. I'm not asking, or forcing, you or anyone to agree with my opinion.

I think your problem is you associate someone beating you at a game as a bully. If you sit down & play a game of Monopoly with a friend & they win do you consider that to be bullying?

It's a game, lighten up a bit. No one is beating each other mercilessly, we're playing a game, sometimes you lose. If you can't lose without taking it as some sort assault against you then I'd say you're the one with the issues, not PvPers.

That's no way to make friends.

Someone mercilessly hunting, stalking, and repeatedly killing me in a game with NO provocation or personal interaction makes them a sociopathic thug. They only people who will take offense, are those who fit the description.

In your estimation, what percentage of the PvP-only player base actually do this?

And mercilessly beating and stalking other players in PvP is just another book by Andrew Carnagie

Someone beating me at a game is a winner. Someone mercilessly hunting, stalking, and repeatedly killing me in a game with NO provocation or personal interaction makes them a sociopathic thug. They only people who will take offense, are those who fit the description.

5%. Maybe upwards of 10%.
