I would wholeheartedly agree. Especially, the line "The results are not surprising, interesting, or even insightful". The results were obvious. I play pvp worlds exclusively with coh/cov being one of the weaker pvp game types. Most good players aren't dicks like this unless there was something to fight over. The majority of the people don't want to play with people that just gank/harass others via the methods available in a game. On the other hand, if you are playing in a PvP game/world, shutup and don't whine. You have options, leave, logon a different character that might be able to kill the offending party, get some friends to help, whatever. I prefer games where you can be ganked like Shadowbane where after lvl 20 you are free game unless in the city. Therefore, get some friends. There are always these types of people.

The professor really just exposed his lack of experience in anything related to mmorpgs.
