I ask this because yesterday I was playing.....
And some asshat joins in my game right when I'm off to fight the gaping dragon. This is pretty early into the game so you could guess already that I don't have any awesome gear yet. Anyway, I'm on my merry way, the message saying a dark phantom has joined your game pops up and I see this strange red phantom, all the while thinking to myself "well I'm fucked".
So obviously this player is a prick just preying on lower level characters for easy rewards or just for "The lulz" (Kind of contradictory to the point of Dark souls being a challenging game right?) I say this because I try swinging at him only to hit for ONE damage (he isn't blocking or anything by the way), then I get swiftly cut down in three hits because of his frickin lightning spear being able to kill me easily despite blocking his attacks.
All in all this just pisses me off how people can swap godlike gear over to low level characters then proceed to kill new and underpowered players who have ZERO chance to fight back.
Anyone else had this kind of unfair treatment in any other games? Share your experiences and just have a good old vent. (I know I have)
