Jumping into battles and "helping" - hribek - 05-17-2009
Seriously, some people should stop asking where the fight is, but roleplay their own.
Jumping into already started fights is often not helping any side and only turns RP-PvPs into random shootout between any amount of factions who just came by. Sometimes it's fun, sometimes it's not, especially when the odds are very uneven.
I'm not complaining because I lost a PvP fight, just to make it clear... such battles are not fun for sane people on the winning side as well. I hope you get it. Most of the people reading the forums probably should. Try to relay this information to those that don't go here, too.
Thank you very much.

Sometimes it's good to get help that you never knew existed when the fight is lobsided.
Most people who have some decency tend not to deliberately make a fight too lobsided but at the same time, there are some who do.
In the latter case, it's helpful to get..help that you thought you never had.

This isn't about a fight being uneven. Arriving in the system and announcing "wheres the fight?" is unimaginative. People should show more initiative.

I figured it was simply about people, who are perhaps not at all involved, hearing about a fight in the system, wondering where it was and simply jumping in un-invited.
If I read it wrong then I do apologise though.

Occasionally someone else's fight will fall into your lap. For example I once undocked from a base to find a lane hacker gunship and a liberty gunboat in a fight. It looked to be extremely balanced between the two, but I choose to assist the hacker. I hand a full load of slaves at the time, so if the LSF won I was going to have to deal with him anyway.
Of course stuff like that isnt what the complaint is about. The complaint (from my understanding of the post) is the fools who go looking for a fight to jump into. This is a very very annoying habit that some players have, and it ruins things for the rest of us. Not all rp battles get planed on the forum, and to have one side that didn't need the boost getting one just sucks the fun out of everything.

There is a fight? Where at, let's gank 'em!

Quite a few times I sat on the sidelines and observed,as the fight was pretty well balanced,sometimes I was requested to join once I arrived on site.
And sometimes I dont want to fight,and its nice to just be the CiC for the situation,directing the forces....

It's annoying as hell when someone looks to join a prearranged fight by yelling where is the fight in system chat and when someone just decides to pop in with no invitation and won't listed when told to leave by the side he is fighting with.

Yes, players interrupting pre-arrainged fight is annoying, people jumping into fights just looking for blue messages is annoying. But not coming to the aid of allys in a fight is ooRP and stupid.
Hribrek stop making another thread whining whenever another person annoys you.

Mwerte, if it was just me, I wouldn't bother. And correct your typing error, please.
Actually, it doesn't annoy me. What I find silly, however, is seeing such messages in the system chat. Looking for a fight no matter what is oorp and stupid as well. Not even terrorists do that. This topic might seem a bit redundant to some people, well, it's great then youi're aware of it, really! Just skip it and go have fun, then.
