    What do you guys think makes a pvp video worth while? Is it the thrill of watching a player bursting down another in a matter of seconds? Going up against your anti class and putting up a quality fight, or is it going up against the odds and providing an epic battle? Quality of the video?

    For me I suppose, I like to see technique with some degree of originality in the user's gameplay, most of all I actual prefer watching a pvp video that has actual quality combat going on, the enemies don't have to be 'pro' since it is open world pvp and you can't really pick who you want to pvp with, but they should at least be capable of fighting back and not running away half the time till they die. By all means a person should kill them, got no reason not to, but it's something I personally would of placed in a pvp video.

    Duration is also another important factor, the video shouldn't be absurdly long with an unnecessary lengthy intro like 2+ minutes. Duration of the actual pvping clips it self is another thing, I personally find it boring when a guy pretty much 123456 a player then switches to an entirely new clip doing the exact same thing, I really like to see some kind of struggle when your pvping, like how you handle multiple enemies at once alone or with a partner, how you handle pvping when you're on CD, how you recover when the odds are stacked against you. Showing those kind of clips really show evidence of the quality of the player and their enemies.

    Mass pvping is always enjoyable to watch, but only when your FPS is good and you aren't spiking from it.

    I don't really care about the quality of the video itself but it's not any fun watching you lag most of the time.

    The music? I would just mute it if I don't like it, simple. But it should have some contrast to the clips.

    I don't think you got to be a pro to make a video, but I wouldn't spend my watching a really bad one. Your first set of clips have to really impress me to keep watching, probably the most important thing to consider when making a video, it's like when you're watching a first episode of an entirely new TV drama, it needs to strike our interest to keep watching.

    Interesting.

    I believe that major factor is the quality and the smoothness of the video. I personally have an old and bad PC so my videos arent exactly great in terms of quality and smoothness,and that is why i consider it an important factor. Other than that,quantity and quality of the enemies you can take down. A duo vs 5-6 decently geared players is much more interesting than a solo vs 5-6 nab geared players,isnt it? I also think that the better the player,the more interesting the video,i like to discover things even while watching pvp videos. I guess a decent pvp video from a not so skilled player,is also appreciated since we can always say "good try bruh". I dont think music is that important,of course its nice to listen to something good,but if the music is bad u can always mute it and play your own playlist while watching..
