AIONology

Here is a quick summary from the aionsource forums.

To summerize, the first change was in regards to the Fortress Sieges. Defending forts are possible, but to make it less hard and competitive, some changes have been made to the defense system. Also medal distribution has been changed.

Second, a new UI option was added. This change will lessen the crashes during the sieges and areas with many players.

The third is among the most waited changes ever, which is flying SM pets. Until now you couldn’t have your pets flying, but now you will be able to fight aerial battles with your pet.

Lastly, three new costumes were added. They are: traditional American, traditional Russian, and traditional European attires.

I’m really looking forward to the flying pets.

So I was browsing the forums when I came across a post where someone was talking about a level 50 ranger he was fighting who would log out whenever the fight was not going his way. I highly disapprove of this method of “PvP” and anyone who uses it. In my opinion if you are losing a fight in PvP (as long as it’s a somewhat fair fight) then you should fight like a man and deal with the abyss point loss. It’s the honorable thing to do.   However I have used the “logout technique” once to escape a PvE battle I was sure that I would lose, in a location that would be annoying to get back to.

What are general thoughts on this kind of thing (hopefully negative) and has this technique ever been used on you before?
