I once got ganked by this purple lightning conjurer guy so after I died I tried to hunt him down and engaged in a ship battle (worse mistake of my time on AO (hey at least I lost my fame because of my fault))
Am I the only one who also thinks lightning conjurers sound like they would be comically cocky I dunno why I just feel like that would seem about right
Honestly I love gankers, if I’m just browsing the marketplace and get killed cuz I’m too lazy to fight I just close the game. Helps with my lacking self control
A memorable time I got ganked (before I lost all buildcrafting motivation from balancing) was when we was both like level 90 on Sailors and the battle took so long cuz of disengaging due to falling in the water I leveled iron leg from amateur to master
ur right
we would ong 
ur right
because we play the best class in the game
you mean “we would ong 
”?

purple lightning is the best because of elius
i rest my case and i won it
What have I caused
ah yes purple lightning is best because the level 50 stomper twink uses it
teal lightning is best because I use it
i rest my case
you are not as good as the stomper twink
ggs…
guys hear me out what if I made a water paladin because patrimony imbue works like lightning imbue
Don’t worry about what character I had in mind while making this trust
bro doesnt know about the leaving dark sea bot method 
its not that bad-
For the game? Yes, they are. I cannot think of a single player type that brings more toxicity to the game than gankers.
Yes, some traders offer bad deals. Yes, some players are rude. Yes, some are trolls. But most player interactions would be a lot more positive of the option of straight up killing the other person wasn’t both on the table and encouraged by the reputation system.

gankers and conflict make AO a more dangerous and thus more lively place in my eyes.
