Atlantic pvp
Just started pvping again in destard yesterday and noticed 1 guild holding destard for hours. Started with a W. Was just curious why no guild challenged them? Trying to figure out if it was just a timing issue? Was waiting for more pvpers to show up to fight them but just watched them kill trammies and solo VvV players. I had fun anyway but was curious if this guild runs Atl or just luck of the draw timing wise?

They don't run anything - most people likely didn't want/need to bother with the Fel Destard event. They aren't any good either - if they were, they wouldn't need to rez-kill people constantly or gank a "defenseless" tamer (while I could put Wrestling on that char, I am perfectly capable of fighting other mages. Dexxers, not so much. Although I can kill them.)
That's not what I meant. One of them definitely had auto-attack, I got the *player name is attacking you* message the INSTANT they ran on my screen. That's just not possible for a human; When I'm using Livesplit and want to stop my timer, it takes me around .33 seconds to hit my stop hotkey (Numpad 1) at my absolute fastest.
I played quite a bit yesterday, both during the day and late into the evening. WUMN was constantly being challenged, both by individuals and other guilds like FS!, GK and DIE. So not sure what time original poster wad playing, but no guild held total control for any long period of time when I was online.
Probably ran 20+ spawns and had a ton of fun. Got killed and ganked a few times, but also fought off a few people myself. Drop rate was 10× better than Tram side on Atlantic. My only gripe is that it seems not as many powerscrolls and masteries were being dropped with the boss. I never got more than one, despite a few times when I clearly would have received more if it was a normal spawn.
WUMN was there on Friday acting like they owned the back of Destard. I got rez-killed maybe 30-40 times which just pissed me off. Yesterday I did see some other guilds there; even on Friday, it was fun outside of WUMN's nonsense.
I'm well aware it's an unsafe location. But it's not like there was anyone contesting the spawn. There's no reason to kill fresh res'd players in that situation, or to even do it as often as WUMN was. Whether it's legal in Fel or not: in that specific situation, ultimately it's still griefing/harassment and nobody has to put up with it.
I'll assume you were getting ressed at the ankh in destard, i personally lure spawn to the ankh so i don't have to reskill but if someone felt like doing manually, that's up to them.
You need to bear some things in mind, a lot of PvPers are in VvV so when they die they can't just get ressed and continue the fight, they enter stat loss (assuming 1 orange dealt damage to them too), so it's imperative to keep people out of the fight for as long as possible, and today many templates can just insta dress, no stat loss, no reagents or other consumables required, blessed bandages, blessed arrows, so you can't keep someone out of a fight by looting blues, against some blues there is literally no way to keep them out of a fight other than preventing them from resurrecting.
Tamers can even upon death prevent their pet from being killed for a quick return by logging out while they're dead. In order to keep a tamer out of the fight for 5 mins, you have to make sure you kill the pet whilst the tamer is still alive healing it, this is not an easy task.
It definitely sounds like yourself was in the wrong and the griefer in this situation. But i personally would've found it easier to lure a piece of paragon spawn to the ankh.

so you were going to res and leave the dungeon and not hit the champ boss with an armor ignore on the way out okay..
if this is the case, why not just res at the moongate (there is a public house literally outside the dungeon with a teleporter to the moongate)
There is a saying in fel,
no tag - bodybag
meaning you kill anyone who is not green. Because hesitation on whether or not someone is a threat, always ends badly.
So, if the person killing you instead had lured a paragon bit of spawn to the ankh, let me ask you a question, would you have kept ressing and getting reskilled by the paragon bit of spawn over and over?
If it were my instruction to guard the ankh trying to stop enemies from ressing, bearing in mind some guild members are only following orders, and there wasn't any spawn close enough to lure before the person could get ressed, i would definitely feel harassed by a blue constantly ressing. If it were an orange you could arguably let them res as you'd know they were in stat, but blues are a real problem"
they are not to know your template as a ghost, for all they know you could be a tamer and could instantly log out/in to get your pet

Sounds like you're a sampire, so you only need like 5 mana to be able to cast confidence which would get you to over 50% hp.
I wouldn't put myself in a position to be reskilled even one time, but If someone had reskilled me, i would take that message and leave to a safe location, i would not persist, and persist to the point of griefing.
I would say a WoMaN having to hang up the phone 30-40 times on a guy calling her would definitely be classed as harassment. "
Busted...
It is standard boardwarrior M.O. however
