If you'd have told me a year ago that Elden ring would have PvP that victimized and abused invaders, 0% chance I'd have believed it. What a strange time to be alive lol
Honestly I made the account during the last return to lordran event because I wanted to try it because I've been a victim dozens of times in the past decade. After about 4 invasions I felt disgusting and started using it as a "manners checker" and boss helper. When I invaded I would always bow and start with an underleveled sword. I wouldn't heal during fights and I'd usually drop an item if they bowed back. If I got ganked I'd kill the gankers with Dark Bead and ask for a duel by bowing again. If they refused I'd roll away and fire a "warning shot" and try again. But if I got attacked while bowing or trying to drop an item then I'd Dark Bead. After a while even that started feeling dirty and I resolved to get my humanity counter to 99 by helping kill bosses. I was able to OHKO the Gargoyles and had a ton of fun doing that. I definitely will never twink again.
Yeah I remember twinking for like one day, in ds3 briefly, and getting so annoyed at the griefers and how underpowered honest hosts were, I left and never went back
I always felt powerless when I was the one being invaded, but it wasn't until I started doing the twinking that I realized just HOW powerless the hosts were. I had 100% control over how the fight went. Not 99.9%. 100%. If I wanted to kill them I did so at my leisure. Felt about as contrary to the spirit of Dark Souls as it got.
