     Can't we all just get along .. MAYBE WE CAN ALL SING 
    COOMB BY YA MY LORD .
    in reality it's a game try to enjoy it if you're upset about people and don't play if you're going to take things to the next level and be nasty and dont play. This is supposed to be fun, we're supposed to be enjoying ourselves.  Relax out there people.

    very few get singled out but it absolutely does happen.  and it's rarely singles but usually groups with competing interests that target each other.  but some get targeted mercilessly.  so, depends on what you mean by 'singled out'...

    The poll options dont include a "yes it happens" just not to me.

    There are black list rooms on Line where a name gets posted and members will hit when they see. I have seen alliance commanders messaging people back and forth about abusive hitting and hit requesting.

    I guess we should do away with the Sim. All I see for 3 weeks are the same people. I hope they aren't taking it seriously when I hit them. It's more like trading points in the stock market. The best way to fight is to better your roster. Sometimes it's good to be KD on the Golden Star Warriors.

    So if I don't like being bullied play a different game mode? That's your solution? 


    If getting beaten in PvP is bothering you enough to campaign on the forums then absolutely! 


    Try PvE out for a while, if that gets you too worked up just take a break, tons of other stuff to do more suited to what you find fun.


    While i agree that just getting beaten in pvp, even a double tap, is not cause for alarm, the fact that a KoS list does exist negates your assumption, imo.

    This thread is spawned from either a troll, or an honest person with a poor grasp on how to properly message mods and admins and convey their thoughts properly. 

    Either way, if i came to the official forum looking for answers and was told to just play something else, i would assume the worst of everyone on here.

    I never really quite understood what "bullying" means in a PvP game.  Is there some unwritten rule that you can only hit the same person so many times during a round?  Seems like too much work trying to remember who you attacked and who you didn't.  When I play, I look for points and that's it. I couldn't tell you any of the names of anyone I attacked or whether or not I attacked them once, twice or five times during that round.  Does that make me a "bully"?
    No, i think you are the opposite of a bully. You play exactly how the game is poorly designed. That's the way i play, myself. 

    It may have been awhile since the last thread on this, but it used to be the case that whole alliances would seek out specific people, to retaliate because one of them got hit when they didn't want to be hit.  Thankfully it doesn't happen as much anymore.

    Any chance you could clean this up a bit?  I would like a chance to counter your therapy argument, but your post is all over the place.

    Great comment! I wish I added that to the options!

    During the off season, I was trying to get 900 in Nefarious Foes. Once I got above 700, but especially 800, the attacks really started coming in. 

    I had hit one particular player with a certain team for a fair amount of points. In fact, I may have double tapped him, as I was in queue purgatory and kept seeing the same teams/names. 

    At some point, he changed his team to a lineup I felt wasn't worth the hassle to fight. However, almost every single time I came out of a match, I was notified I had lost a match to this player. I wasn't retaliating, but he kept kicking me down, when all I was trying to do was get to 900.

    Bullying? Probably not. Aggravating and frustrating? You better believe it. And at some point, yeah, I couldn't help but wonder if I had somehow insulted a dear family member without knowing it, because it was kind of feeling personal. 

    Reality probably was he was caught in queue purgatory too, and just saw my team as easy pickings. 

    Never did get to 900. Finally had to call it quits and go to bed.

    The thing I've found with PVP is that you get tons of way over-powered players and then that ONE person who you know you can beat.  
    So you tap them once.  Then you go around and around and around and they keep coming up .  So you figure, ok, one more time.  And then you go around again and they just keep appearing over and over.

    There is a rare occasion where I just want the last 10 points to get the 10 CP and I have tapped a third time, but I actually feel bad and I do sort of figure someone is going to put me on their hate list.

    I wish you could PM them and say " look dude, I know that was uncool, let me level down to a one star cupcake team, I'll attack you (and of course lose) and then you can go to town on me", but you can't.

    Maybe there should be a limit to the amount of times you can attack someone?  I dunno.

    I enjoy being a tourist in PVP.   I like to dip my feet in the water and then get the heck out, because frankly, it can be stressful.  I'm not dismissing how you feel or your situation and if someone is actually sending you vicious messages, that sucks, but maybe you are just not the swim with the sharks sort of person?

    The system is what it is. Blame the devs. I don't have tons of Iso and I'm not going to waste thousands of it trying to skip repeat hits.

    I didn't vote because I don't play PvP enough to really be affected by this, but I've seen enough threads here that I know there are some Mean Girl-esque cliques running around and they are petty as hell. It's actually made me more aware not to double tap someone, especially on the off chance I'm going for 900.

    As noted cyber-bullying is a silly thing to call this, it's just a game.

    I go after everyone I can to get to 575. Once there I usually stop. Lately I'm getting knocked back to 370. It's cool, I got mine now you got yours. People take this **** too seriously.

    The only part of this that sounds like bullying to me is part about the hate messages that one poster claims to be receiving. However, that doesn't sound like a problem with MPQ or PVP, as much as it is a problem with the community the poster engages with outside the game.

    I get pummeled like everyone else at 899 pts. I don't take it personally, because, as far as I know, it isn't personal. Maybe it's time to disconnect from whatever group the hate messages are coming from.
