3 years of playing ... ok, I'll bite ... being in the oldest EN world, where there isn't a player with your name. And that is as conclusive evidence that you're talking nonsense about playing for 3 years, as is your 'evidence' that 0-mot duelers suck.
I was a 0-mot dueler in 2 worlds and a top-40 (full motivation) dueler in one world. Since the 2 worlds are more than the 1 world numerically, that means that I suck as well.
(Friends and enemies flock to the polls to endorse that view.)
The concept of 0-motivation dueling forces the dueler to duel people at or below their own dueling level - the only higher-level targets usually being non-duelers. Nobody I know of goes out looking to lose a duel - they might attempt a challenging duel now and then, but there is always a belief that they will win. 0-motivation duelers, when they follow this same precept, have scorn heaped upon them. There were plenty of full-motivation duelers all along who target non-duelers as well - whenever I work a job that requires a non-dueling weapon (Bugle, anybody?) you can bet I'm going to be dueled by someone who'd never consider dueling me if I were in full dueling gear, or even sporting my golden colt. But that's ok with you, unless they're 0-motivation duelers? You sure have a very narrow view of the game, if those are the only people you would like to see sanctioned.
0-motivation duelers are, by nature, typically lower-level players anyway - their entire reason for doing that is because they don't want to level up - the reasons for that are varied; I did it mainly to be able to buy the best dueling and work gear possible with the money I earned by dueling - and lower level players are much more likely to not have learned the lesson of banking their money - which reinforces the idea of dueling at as low a level as possible for as long as possible. Down that low, as well, there's not as much of a difference between the gear players have, and the number of skill points they have, for there to be a lot of blowout dueling victories - duels could go either way most of the time. So your marginal victories or losses are somewhat trivialized by that factor.
Which is not to say there aren't a lot of bad 0-mot duelers out there; once a few people try and succeed at a strategy, it becomes the method du jour and everybody has to try their hand at it. We had the deluge of Resistance duelers - nearly everybody who wanted to duel, and was afraid to lose, went that route. Same with 0-motivation dueling. As soon as the strategy got a name, people came out of the woodwork to do it. Some to get their dueling medals, some to earn lots of cash, some to brag about how many duels they had won. And yes, there were good and bad users of the method each time. But if you want a good 0-motivation dueler, look for one who's still doing it beyond level 50 or 60. That's when his targets start being able to carry around Hernando's Sword and Golden Sabres/Colts, and if he can still win convincingly against those odds, there's nothing left to prove. They're out there, believe me.
(My apologies to the mods for seeming to stray off-topic, but I wanted to provide an argument against the suggestion being made. It is without merit.)
and I'm trying to protect some of my non dueler friends from them. And if you read my posts you would see that I don't want the 0 motiv duelers to be dueled by a player with a much more higher level ..Just something normal...a range of 10-20 levels above them, or at least 5. LOL in one world I'm level 107 dueler with high duelling level (not too high) and I can't duel a level 106 dueler with very low duelling level (he has above 1k wins)...it's ridiculous. This is my last post on this topic. I pointed as best as I could my point of view..no point talking to the walls
