Episode 5: PVP or Just Being a Jerk
In the world of MMOs, PVP is supposed to be about skill, strategy, and the thrill of outplaying your opponent. But let’s be honest—sometimes it’s just an excuse to be an absolute menace. In this episode of MMO Madness: Behind the Troll Mask, Boss Mode dives headfirst into the blurred line between competitive combat and plain old trolling.
From ESO battlegrounds where trash talk runs hotter than fireball spam, to World of Warcraft gank squads camping lowbies in Stranglethorn Vale, to ARK survival servers where "PVP" often means raiding your neighbor’s base at 3 AM while they sleep—we’re pulling back the curtain on what happens when fair fights turn into personal vendettas.
Is it really PVP, or are you just being a jerk? Let’s find out.
🎧 Tune in for dark humor, brutal community stories, and a few redemption arcs that prove even griefers can change.
