Shadowxcraft's Targeting Issue

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to have a discussion with you guys about "Targeting" and the meaning of It.(There are Three types of Targeting).

1. Targeting is when a player follows another player for long periods of time.
2. Targeting is when a player only attacks one certain player.
3. Targeting is when a player follows another player after getting attacked by others repeatedly.

This issue usually happens when:

1. The player is competitively better than you.
2. The player has killed you in one game and you get upset.
3. The player gains a lot of attention and you feel that killing the player would give you the attention.
4. The player started trash talking and you get upset.
5. You just choose to annoy/target them because they may have a bad temper.

We (The Staff), would like to discuss the feeling and the purpose of Targeting whether it is for fun or competitively. This is a major issue that usually happens in HG and KITPVP. We would like to prevent this from ever happening to new players (It could make them leave). It would really make our jobs easier and even make Shadow an even healthier community than what it is today. We would like to solve this issue but we need your opinions first.​

 

I think that targeting can be used as both a way to annoy a friend as a jest, but it also can get annoying quickly. I think in friend groups, targeting rules can be more lenient, but when two people are 'enemies', then the rule should be enforced more harshly to avoid people from raging.

 

The player gains a lot of attention and you feel that killing you would give you the attention.

You feel that killing you would give you the attention <--- What??

 

when there aren't that many ppl on, it feels like targeting, and I'm afraid to PVP cuz i don't want other people to feel this way

 

Just for your info @_DarkStrafes_ ,
That time you banned me for targeting, the truth is I wasn't targeting you at all. You were just close by so I decided I would go for you.
( Just to tell you, I already did kill a few players before I attacked you, so please don't misunderstand the fact that I'm targeting you^^ )
Regards

Most people target in kitpvp but some people never stop going for you even though they are about to die themselves. I think only excessive targeting should be bannable. The problem is that when you try to report them they instantly stop targeting. Unless there is a plugin stopping people from targeting e.g. kicking a player for targeting its difficult to completely prevent it.
