I'm a dedicated RPer, that's a good 90% of the reason I play Anarchy Online, well besides the fact that MOO3 keeps getting delayed, but that's neither here nor there. I do however have a problem. I play a clanner and often get missions to Meetmedere, the problem comes in when I grid in. See I always get a request or two to duel from an Omni. Now I like to PvP from time to time but if I'm out there to do a mission I'm not going to want to take the time to get killed in a fight.
Which is anouther problem, my character doesn't particularly like Omni but I the player knows that I've sacrificed a lot of PvP potential by refusing to use any armor but Vito's, using only tank armor rather then a dress, and using clean slay axes rather then something with a better damage output. My character is all about look and feel rather then what's probably more effective. But how do I incorperate these OOC realities with my characters IC actions? Ironheel would never turn down the chance to fight Omni's even if it's just going to mean some reclaim sickness. However I've already gotten bored with going into a PvP zone and a minute or two later staring at the reclaim.
So my question is what have other RPers out there come up with to deal with this situation?
