AionSource forum post- For your psychological health: How to avoid ragequit and burnout
*laughs* This is a post worth reading for the entertainment value- and it has some advice that may be worth noting.
"I love PvP but it's not really pvp when it's not a fair fight" or "LOL @aion PVP (insert screenshot of dead character next to 20 characters of the other faction).
The above statements are false. The best PvP games will come close to full-blown warfare. In most intelligent wargames, hardly anything is fair. In fact, most fights are decided before they start. It's hardly about the individual, it is about something greater. To master Aion PvP you need to not only master how your character fights, but when to fight.
(A) The RLSG maneuver. Those of you who played X3, recognize this term coined by NUKLEAR-SLUG. I will borrow it here, since DiD games are just hardcore. This move will be your characters most important move. RLSG stands for RUN LIKE A SCREAMING GIRL. That's all there is to it. If you are not 100% sure of the outcome of a fight. Run first, think later. You can always come back later if you decide your odds are good. But first you need to run. There is nothing wrong with running. You aren't less of a man because of it. You aren't a noob if you run from a fight. No one from AionSource is going to take a screenshot and then make a call-out thread (actually I'm not too sure on this one). But there is nothing to be ashamed of. The only time you shouldn't run is if you don't have many AP to lose, and you want a fast way back to your bind point (and your return is on cooldown).
