User blog comment:Volknur/The Problem with PvP in Dark Souls/@comment-1589281-20130708132347

Main problem with PVP: almost everybody thinks it's the main game.

It's not, it's a part of the game. There are pages and pages of guys talking about wich is the best combination of armour/weapons/spells/rings to defeat opponents, doing calculations and blowing their minds trying to find the most powerful set. Is that even having fun? Why taking it so seriously? It's a games, it has to be challenging but it desn't need to be serious.

I felt pity for some dudes invading me with absurd mixed sets (like Catarina onion helm and a buffed weapon) who I defeated in two second because they were just trying to BS or luring me near enemies.

However "honorable" combat is...boring. The game doesn't permit any sword vs sword fight like in movies where your weapon hits the one of your enemy several times like in a duel. Instead you got to roll or raise your shield wich is really boring.
