Ah, OK.

Its ok, Cawlin. Read it a few more times, and perhaps it will register.


PVP servers aren't for everyone. If you want to 'win' every single time you sit down, then they are definitely not for you.

Of course, we already knew this about you.

Yeah we know.

I play on a PVE server and is largely the same in areas for levels below 80.

any decent pvp battles were in the first 6 months of the game.

large scale guild on guild. the kind where one person gets ganked by 2 or 3. calls in guildies (and they show up)...

other guild calls for help and it keeps escalating to you have a 20 on 20 or 30 on 30 fight for a zone. Those were fun.
And they weren't done for points. or gear.

I prefer pvp servers but i rarely go out of my way to kill other players. I often will quest near others unless they start something. I rarely gank lowbies. Getting popped with today's rule sets means nothing other than losing a bit of time. So i don't see the big deal. I've been ganked by higher levels. As long as the same person doesn't set up a tent. Big deal.

What it does provide to the game is a variable that's out of the player's direct control. I can't use X cooldown while killing mobs because i might need it if i get jumped. It's looking over your shoulder constantly. That appeals to some. Doesn't to others.

I played on both servers but i get bored faster leveling up on pve servers. There just isn't any anticipation of something different. Plus if someone of opposite faction is killing same mobs and there is a shortage I can do something about it. If there is a gold farmer in the area of opposite faction. I can do something about it.

Variety. For me that's all it is.

Well said, although Cawlin still won't get it.

my latest toons, 1 of each pvp & pve, both went 1-45ish without a pvp encounter and with very minimal same faction encounters.

what do you propose for a fix? reset everyone to level 1 and greatly increase the experience per level?

leveling is QUICK now...people have already leveled...not to hard to figure out why you cant pvp while leveling.
stick around for MoP...there will be lots of new toons to gank.

my most frustrating time spent was always Duskwood...you couldn't spend 2 minutes alive due to constant ganking.

I get it perfectly. You don't really have anything to say relevant to my argument so you'd like to just talk about why you play on a PvP server.

What do your assertions have to do with my remarks about people wanting to FORCE people to PvP with them while leveling?

I fully understand that some people like the "thrill" of knowing that they could be engaged in combat at any point. I also fully understand that many people on PvP servers really just play there to try to gank other people and when they run short of targets to harass, they want to change the ruleset to FORCE people to come out and be ganked. I also understand that MOST people on PvP servers don't *really* want to be on PvP servers anymore since they work so hard to avoid PvP conflicts by leveling entirely in dungeons and the like.

It's all pretty ridiculous in truth, which I think you guys know, and which is also why I think you keep on with your various affirmations about why you still play on such a server.

Lmao. You have a full understanding of why crybabies who pout when they die need to stick to PVE realms.


Have you even ever played on a PVP realm?

 

-----signature-----

I did actually. I started the game out on Arthas.

Again, what's that have to do with people wanting to force others to play "gank me while I'm questing" on PvP servers instead of leveling via the LFD?

If this is all you have, maybe you should just stop blathering. I keep asking you what your remarks have to do with anything, and you keep coming up short on answers. What else you got, thumper?
