This will be a bit of a rant, but there will be good info also.
I've been doing a lot of green dot hunting in PVP 4 lately. For some reason, it fits my mood right now. I've noticed, there are quite a few people who get very upset when they are killed in PVP 4. Some of them give mild insults such as calling you a loser or calling you a noob. Some of them get very profane and insulting. I've even had one come over to the forums and -rep me. If I remember correctly, this person -repped Mandu for the same reason. So, I would like to address some of these items and maybe prepare some people, mentally, for entering lootable PVP. Let it be said, most of the people I run into in lootable PVP are very nice and decent people.
To the miners, who are whiners. (Not to be confused with the miners who go into PVP with the correct mindset.) Some of you complain about getting killed in PVP and the PK'ers are evil and destroying your game play. When, in fact, the PK'ers are making you more profitable. Imagine if the rare ores and enmatters in PVP 4 had no PK'ers running around protecting them. Then every miner in the game would be in there taking these resources out. If more resources are taken out, then the markup will probably go down due to supply and demand. The threat of being killed keeps a lot of miners out, thus making your runs more profitable.
To the hunters. (I haven't really heard hunters whining, but some of you may have fallen under their wrath.) You can usually hunt pretty undisturbed in PVP 3 and 4. Isn't it nice not having some idiot or bot running mobs onto you all the time? The mobs in PVP 4 drop some nice loot also, to those who are willing to brave the dangers there. Remember what happened to the price of the Hedok SK50 during the event where mulmuns were at Hades? If everyone could hunt them undistured, this would continue to happen. Thanks to the threat from the PK'ers, these prices are going back up.
For those of you who are immature and like to threaten me with other PK'ers when I kill you, just SHUT UP already. When you threaten me that Hulk is going to !!!! me and sodomize me, etc, etc, it doesn't concern me one bit. I do not go cower next to the storage bin when you tell me Hulk is coming. I know Hulk can kill me, so what? Here is a list of other people who kill me regularly:
Hulk
Rilort
Princess Nika
Eric TheGeek
Akon
Ben Cobra Boner
Dante (as of yesterday )
Jenna Star Mercury
and a million others who haven't run into me yet, or I can't remember their names.
So if you have someone on your FL, and they want to protect you, good for you. Don't talk about calling them, just call them. You actually sound like a little kid who is saying "I'm gonna tell my mommy on you" when you say these things.
Rant mode off:
Rules for lootable PVP that will make your life easier.
1. You are going to die.
2. See rule 1.
3. Don't run around in lootable PVP with any stackables that you are not preparred to lose.
4. Don't go into lootable PVP if you can't afford to lose your anti-toxic shot.
5. You are going to die.
As soon as you realize, that sooner or later you are going to die in PVP, the sooner you can start enjoying PVP areas and start having fun instead of getting worked up and saying things you may eventually regret. I've made friends with people who kill me and people I kill. Remember, it's just a game. I can't afford to hunt dasp, so I don't. If you can't afford to get killed, don't go into PVP.
These are two very good links to read if you want to go to lootable PVP:

Remember, it's not personal. (Well, with a few of you it is. ) Just play the game and remember others are playing it as well. Good luck to all of you.
