User blog comment:Maker L106/PvP Fight Club etiquette.../@comment-24349637-20140812123702

I realize that fight clubs are more enjoyable the more level the playing field is, but I cannot comprehend the zero-tolerance of backstab negating chestpieces outside of roleplay, and that your whole crew would turn on and gank someone who simply turns up in said chestpiece and other "meta gear". I think that shows a lack of respect for other peoples' views on PvP. For someone who doesn't rely on backstab fishing for their wins, I'd think fighting a player with one of the awesome and well rounded chestpieces would be tougher than fighting the low-defence Jester's Top or the stamina regen-impeding, super-heavy Ironclad Chestpiece.

I understand that you mainly take issue with people using all the things you consider unfair in the same build, but simply calling out people for using a specific chestpiece, whichever it is, needs some rethinking. I mainly take issue with the way this post perpetuates all the negativity and "judging a player for using something that is in the game", that's so typical and toxic for the community.

You bring up valid points about the different Meta combinations being annoying to fight, and that it's no fun encountering those when doing a fight club. I hope I don't sound like a hypocrite when I say that I too hope they find a way to nerf these various combos eventually, but I don't believe in dividing the community and being overly judgemental over the use of them. Having said all this, I enjoyed the post and look forward to any future discussion.
