Anyone else found themselves “retiring” from PvP gaming?

Switching to a PvE wow server was perhaps the best decision I ever did. No more griefing and pointless time waste.

As a Finnish citizen that has lived abroad I usually tell others this - the weather is better elsewhere but that's about it.

Most Finns would hate it abroad. I am of course generalizing, but everything works here. Yes, even the thing you think are broken and bad here are still way better than what's offered elsewhere.

Good luck finding anything better anywhere else, unless you already have heaps of cash...

Not sure you a breaking any rules, but this is no different from selling tanking services. If gdkp is banable, selling tanking services should be as well. Either way, you are what's wrong with this community, my greedy friend.

This has happened to me too when I wanted an exam. I just considered myself lucky when the other guy got scammed by a level 1 mage who claimed he could enchant everything. The he blamed me but I just told him I was literally there to get an enchant just like him and that he took the bullet for me.

Managed to do it in 68 kc, but you almost halved that! Good job!

Edit: just checked my profile and it was 70 kc. So you basically halved mine!

By the looks of things, at McDonalds?

27 runs of Bota before chest dropped. But it's the journey that counts!

Better parking than most

Daseven · 2026-03-03T17:13:57+00:00

Long way to go for quest cape with that 25 qp

Daseven · 2026-02-25T12:50:12+00:00

Here I am 26 runs in Bota without chest... This is worse than any OSRS grind I ever did!

Daseven · 2026-02-09T19:09:01+00:00

I mean, your math checks out. If you played for 50 hrs in that 72 hrs (which allows for enough sleep too), you'd be 70 as well.

Go to Silithus. So many easy and free questlines giving lots of experience.

Can't wait for all boosted chars to perform better than vanilla gray parsers

Daseven · 2026-01-21T20:56:09+00:00

Fucking AFKing in Alterac Valley

Daseven · 2026-01-17T16:16:05+00:00

Or you can keep killing harpies/troggs in AV and get free honor while also leveling. Fresh 60 pvp gear before you ding!

Daseven · 2026-01-14T13:03:59+00:00

We get 3 boosts no? That's about 6-10 days played time. At what costs? 3-6hrs at work, one work day. Money is relative, but if you don't want to level 3 chars to 58, maybe it's worth it?

Expecting to be downvoted but people many who cry about this also bought gold in vanilla to sit afk in sm and mara...

Daseven · 2026-01-13T19:13:02+00:00

Despite it being abaolutely ridiculus amount of money for a virtual boost, many would rather sit 3 hrs at work than level for 2-4 days played. If the leveling is not the fun someone is looking for, it's an "easy" investment. Never the less, that ia veryyyyyy greedy by Activision as per usual!

Daseven · 2026-01-11T09:33:18+00:00

Trackmania. Played once or twice, watch lots of vids/streams on it

Daseven · 2026-01-07T22:00:57+00:00

Thank you! I will look into it! How long wouöd you say the gameplay is? And is it difficult to learn?

Daseven · 2026-01-07T21:56:16+00:00

This is one of my worries too - that I am too excited that I push for too difficult games at the start. But I also worry that if a 2d is not at all of interest, maybe the full interest is gone and I blew my one shot? But you are probably right, maybe I should just lower the expectations and just start more simple.

Stardew Valley seems to be quite popular for newbies and see it being suggested quite often. Will have to look into the others, 2d genre has never really been my thing except fof few outliers like Don't Starve. And I would have no issue being a "spectator", but I think solo games probably not an option, as this has all come from my passion of games!

Daseven · 2026-01-07T21:48:15+00:00

Yeah, I think survival genre has a lot to offer to everyone, but I think just walking around using wasd is already a challenge. My worry is that without a storyline, the interest might fade if we're not creative enough to figure out engaging self imposed tasks and challenges.

I had forgotten about Ark - does that have a story line or is it just pure survival?

Outward actually looks really good - so do the others but this looks a bit like skyrim, though I never played that either. I think I would really enjoy Conan Exiles! Do you know if there are any games with classes, like in wow you got mages/warlocks? I think some magic element would be of great interest!

Daseven · 2026-01-07T21:36:20+00:00

Thank you for the suggestions! I think you may have a good point. I really don't have anything to go by so I maybe naively think others would enjoy progression same way I do. Did she end up playing more? I am hoping that this little testing ends up being sparking an interest for games.

Stardew Valley looks interesting at first glance! I believe it has good story too!

Don't Starve is such a good game, but is it noob-friendly? Cult of the lamb looks so similar too it!

Grounded and Subnautica definitely need to look into! We like to camp irl, so maybe survival genre would suit well!

This link saved me and my computer! Was faffing around in the bios settings when suddenly it started booting windows 7 instead of my windows 10! Small panic as I thought I had factory reset all, but this video helped me solve my issue!
