Competitive? Or not?

Disclaimer: in this context, the word 'competitive' refers to human character trait, it is not related to in-game gear or player skill.

Is is possible to be competitive even when you're bad? Or do you actually have to be good at something first?

In details:
You try something and you fail. It is expected, because you tried it for the first time.
You learn from it and try again. And fail again. Alright, not experienced enough.
So you try again. And fail again. Rinse and repeat.
Then comes a moment when either effort needed for the tries or the consequesnces of constant failure outweight the possible benefits of success that may never come.
Is there a reason to continue trying when experience tells you you're going to fail over and over?


Now you might ask why is this in PvP section. Well, the smarter of you can guess:
I tried to PvP. Failed.
I got better gear and tried again. Failed.
I changed few stigmas, customised skill bar and tried again. Failed.
I read few class guides, changed some manastones and tried again. Failed.
(please note that between the steps it wasn't one duel, it was several encounters)
So I changed class and stopped caring.

Or at least I thought...

But then... lately I've seen some posts about challenging stuff and never giving up and other 'motivational boosters' that are useful only for people who actually can experience success from time to time.


So, what motivates you to stay competitive even when all odds are against you? Is there some special mindset needed? Or are you competitive because you're good and after a failure you're trying again because you know you're going to succeed after putting in certain amount of effort?

Greetings, Daeva, We understand your frustration and appreciate you reaching out to the community for help. Not receiving a verification email is a common issue that many players have encountered across various games. We’ve checked the forums and have a few potential fixes you can try. Hopefully, one of these will help you get into the game!

Possible Fixes for Verification Email Issue

Check Your Email Folders: This may seem obvious, but it's the most common solution. Please check your spam, junk, and other filtered folders. Sometimes, a legitimate email can be mistakenly flagged and sent there. Add Aion to Your Whitelist: To prevent future emails from being blocked, add the official Aion email address (often something like `noreply@aiononline.com` or an equivalent from NCSoft/Gameforge) to your email account's contact list or whitelist. This tells your email provider that you trust the sender. Try a Different Email Provider: Some email providers, particularly those like Hotmail, Outlook, or Live, are known to be overly aggressive with their spam filters. If you used one of these, consider creating a new account with a different provider, such as Gmail, and try the registration process again. Many players report better success with services like Gmail. Wait for the Email: Depending on server load and other factors, there can sometimes be a significant delay in receiving the verification email. In some cases, it may take several hours or even a full day to arrive. If you've just created your account, we recommend waiting a while longer before assuming it's a bug. Contact Aion Support Directly: If none of the above steps work, the best course of action is to contact the official Aion support team. They have the tools to manually verify your account or provide a direct solution. You can typically find a link to their support portal on the official game website. They will likely ask for your account name and the email address you used. We hope this information helps, and we look forward to seeing you in Atreia soon! Feel free to update us if you find a solution that works for you, as it may help other players with the same problem. Best regards, The Forum Moderator Team
