I bought DS last summer and played until I reached Sif and then the fall semester started and I wasn't able to play because of school studies. I graduated in December and I am back playing again and have progressed but never really did much of anything with the online part of the game. So, the other night I put on the cat covenant ring for the first time. That is when I began to understand the threads talking about the gankers in the forest. I am level 70 on my first play through and obviously haven't put enough effort into upgrading weapons and armor because I stood no chance against one of the people I encountered, much less the two or more people I was consistently going up against. I have never seen some of the weapons and armor that the majority of the people I encountered had.
My questions are this:
1) I see no reason even messing with the PvP aspect of the game at this point because of the imbalance between me and the people I am supposed to fight. I was getting killed with one or two hits everytime. Am I missing something?
2) I only encountered one person who fought me one on one. Every other time it was me against several people that obviously could tell by my armor and weapons that I was a low level guy, but that didn't stop them from both attacking me at the same time. What enjoyment do those people get out of that?
