Twist of Fate Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 *Note: I realise that many people know how to deal with pressuring into fighting but alot of people don't. Just today I saw 2 people killed because they were tricked into fighting by pkers just because they don't know how to end pressure. Okay so there you are wandering along Edgeville or Falador or maybe Edgeville dungeon or north Varrock when someone approaches you. Player one: A person whose a lower level than you but may be stronger You: An innocent player Player1: Hey wanna fight? You: No thanks Player1: Please? I won't use food or prayer You: Nah Player1: Lol ur scared You: No I'm not Player1: Then fight me You: No Player1: noob! You: I'm not a noob! Player1: noob noob noob! You: Oh yeah? I'll fight you! You're a lower level Player1: Yeah so you should kill me easy *Note that a player will not challenge you if they know they'll lose *The two players go deep enough into the wild* Now this can end in several ways. 1.The player may have a very high attack stregth hitpoints or defence magic or ranged level despite their combat level and they will kill you quickly 2. They have a team waiting to kill you 3. The player uses unfair methods despite what they tell you such as freezing you, teleblocking you, or even potting up *player one kills you and you've lost all your best weapons because you could have said no and handled the situation maturley* This has happened to a great percentage of runescape players and if this has happened to you or if it ever does, heres how to stop it maturley. Player1: Hey wanna fight? You: No thanks Player1: Scared of a lower level? You: No, I just prefer not to fight Player1: So you are scared? You: Sure, yea, whatever gets you off my back This has worked for me and my friends dozens of times and it will work for you. Another simple method would be to just ignonre them. The only logic pkers like that think is "Man he's a noob!" so all they want back is for you to call them a noob and that get it all heated up again. It's hardly any different than a bully in real life. They just want you to get angry and challenge them so by acting mature they may even respect your decision. By the off chance that it doesn't work, just ignore them. They can't force you into fighting physicly but they most definitley can emotionally. Just keep your cool and don't get angry because they just want a negative response from you so don't give it to them, mentally walk away and continue with what you were doing.

DRUMINATOR17 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Your exactly right. However you have to factor in the fact that no matter how bad someone really doesnt want to fight someone, the bottom line is if they do, they will, and if they really dont then they wont. Becuase it sure does take alot of willpower to put on pking armor, get pots food whatever and walk out there with the person etc etc etc all to do something you never wanted to do in the first place. Also you coulda maybe summed up that read into the following shorter post :wink: [hide= Portraying the Same Point, with less words]Player1: Hey wanna fight? You: No thanks Player1: Scared of a lower level? You: No, I just prefer not to fight Player1: So you are scared?

Sy_Accursed Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 What a great waste of reading time. If you don't want to pk and have that as one of your standards for playing the game you just simply ignore such people and don'tpk. Simple as. Its hardly like its extremely tempting to go pk because someone goads you about it unless you have the mental capacity of a 6 yrold.

Twist of Fate Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 Scourgedit: ^I'm talking about a different pk method. They're technicly luring the player into the wild which is against the rules. What are some examples of item scams? Some examples of item scams are: -Offering an item and then removing the item within the first or second trade screen. -Offering an item and changing the agreed price within the first or second trade screen. -Misleading players by providing false or inaccurate information, for your own personal gain. -Luring players into the Wilderness under false pretences. Yeah probably, but you gotta look professional you know? >.> The more information the better IMO. People can just mentally filter out what they want and don't want to absorb Check out the band on Facebook! - http://www.facebook.com/bhofficialnjYouTube - http://www.youtube.c...enhingeofficial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irool Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The more information the better IMO. People can just mentally filter out what they want and don't want to absorb then why do you choose to absorb the words of random pks in runescape? Just ignore them. You don't have an obligation to anyone to respond. Even though they don't kill you, you're still giving them a lot of satisfaction by recognizing their supposed power. (Yeah I'm cool, I just scared off a higher level and he acknowledged it...'pwned') Pretend you don't have chat on and keep walking, laugh at how far they follow you out of the wilderness. 100 Combat91 Strength70 Defense82 Attack85 Magic =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phata_elise Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 That will teach them for not just saying "no". Better that it happens in Runescape than in real life. No extra protection is needed, let them realize that everyone is responsible for its own actions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toxicologist Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 For people who say this is a waste of time, it isn't. This isn't a thread about "OMG Don't PK it's evil, people just want your stuff LOL!" It is about keeping your ego under control and not get yourself into pointless fights. Keeping your ego under control and stopping yourself from making rash and foolish decisions is a useful skill to learn, even in a game. Of course, if you already have high EQ, this would be a waste of time. Then again, if you already know how to solo the King Black Dragon, then a KBD soloing guide that is a waste of time too, but I don't see people complaining about those guides. Why do you resist? My experiments are only helping humanity push the boundaries of the Art of Toxicology... you should be proud to be one of my victims. ~Toxicologist~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qeltar Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 This issue is important if only because if you can be pressured or taunted into doing something stupid in the game, you can usually be pressured or taunted into doing something stupid in the real world. The solution in both cases is to know yourself and be willing to stand up for what you believe and want to do, rather than defining yourself based on what others say or do. Be strong, and avoid those who try to lead you in the wrong direction. ~q Qeltar, aka Charles KozierokWebmaster, RuneScoop - Premium RuneScape Information for Expert Players -- Now Free!Featuring the Ultimate Guide to Dungeoneering -- everything you need to know to get the most of the new skill!

meb Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 or even potting up God forbid that! If players respond to those 'noob' insults it only proves they are little kids themselves. I stopped caring about people who said 'are you too scared to do X?' when I was 12. This has happened to a great percentage of runescape players and if this has happened to you or if it ever does, heres how to stop it maturley. Wow you are so mature! I wish I was as mature as you, so I could post stupid topics about common sence and idiots as 'maturly' as you do! Retired 2146 overall - 136 combat - 6 skillcapes Plus I think the whole teenage girl thing will end soon (hopefully), because my girlfriend is absolutely in love with him(she is 18), and im beginning to feel threatened by his [Justin Bieber] dashing looks.

MarkEcko25 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 3. The player uses unfair methods despite what they tell you such as freezing you, teleblocking you, or even potting up How is that "Unfair"? Oh, right it stops you from an easy kill with minimal effort. I mean, come on. You think that code of conduct crap will ever stop ANYONE from using those tactics? Ontopic: I really don't see that many people fall for it. I just ignore them for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjrox32 Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 The only times I pk are when some idiot tries to rc pk me on my last run of the day :x At that point, I go grab my gear and kick the living [cabbage] out of them.

Twist of Fate Posted August 21, 2007 Author Share Posted August 21, 2007 I didn't mean it was unfair though. I meant it was not what the pker said to you saying he wouldn't do that.
