I was sitting at the bank, finishing up a material transfer with a refiner from a separate account. Two dots approached from the south on the minimap. I recognized the names from the forums, finished up the trade, and jumped up and down in excited hellos. It was then that I heard the arrows...or something.
Yay! Battle! J'aime la geurre!!! (all OSS 117 like)
...but I was on my refiner with two clients open... Flustered, I get both of my characters cut down quickly. At the rez shrine I log out the refiner, go into stealth, and start hunting down the pair.
I catch up with one of them and hop out of stealth at him. My god...targeting is really not easy in PvP (I think he eventually stood still for a sec so I could get a lock). I get cut down a second time, but I think I did pretty darn well for my first PvP encounter.
All in all, it was a great time had by all. We talked politely in the hex chat for a while. I got some pointers on strategy. We said goodbye and they continued north. Of course, two minutes later there were about eight more people in town...
I put myself in a precarious position and had some bad timing with some "baddies" running through town. I paid the price. It was awesome fun. The only thing that would have been more awesome is if they had been on my trail for the last half hour...for retribution. I may have just been retuning from a shiny metallic bits poaching session across the map. Losing 25% of said shiny bits right at the vault would have been very karmic.
Great fun! just thought I'd share my experience with all the griefing/PvP talk lately.
