This.

But I've noticed that carebear types (for the most part) tend to be self centered egocentric a*holes who think they are special unique snowflakes and can't be bothered to actually make friends.

These same people play alliance and spend their days dancing on the stormwind mailbox , compensating for their tiny peens.

I would so love a FFA wow server so the sad carebears in this thread could constantly scream in terror as my giant tauren azz mows them down.

I want full looting like original Ultima Online too!

FFA would be an interesting experiment. but it would probably get old and fast.

No Darktide is not the only true PvP expirience, but from what you described it is a much harder world to live in. You talk about other player policing themselves and to a certain extent that did happen sometimes, but there were no safe places you ran for your life every second and it was damn hard to advance in the game unless you were protected by one of the major clans and even then you were not safe because those clans had just as many enemies.


I agree with you what you are saying Gutter and it does take a certain player to be able to play that way. I'm just not one of them, so while I don't have anything against FFA servers, I certainly wouldn't play on one. I don't like someone else to be able to control my play time. It does frustrate me sometimes, which obviously means I'm not the right person for a server like that, or maybe even for a PvP server for that matter.


It takes a special mind set to not be frustrated by corpse camping, and if that is you, all the power to you!

Your argument is flawed.


On this thread alone, I see multiple posters who disagree. Logic dictates I cannot speak for the masses nor can I assume "everyone has the same view" as I do. Also, various posters stated their experiences, positive, in a free-for-all server.


The second part of your argument is flawed because you also assume all PvP is forced upon me to quote, "against my will!!" Again, you are incorrect. If you asked, I would freely tell you I PvP all the time. After all, it is an element required in World of Warcraft to gain gear and reputation.


Finally, your argument is deeply flawed because you believe a vocal minority speaks for a vast majority.


Let's use common sense.


If a free-for-all server is so desired from the masses, it would be in game. We see this effect when something is so disliked, it eventually is removed or something is added because of player demand. The game today is different today in nearly every area due to this demand for change and ease.


The fact remains, the majority desires a safer environment to play their game. If you doubt the negative experiences PvP suddenly thrust upon the unwilling or a free-for-all server generates, I invite you to search the net.


The truth is the majority of the players are self-centered, ego-driven, and other colorful adjectives.


You know why?


In World of Warcraft, the game trains you to be solo-minded until a certain point in the game. If you doubt this, we aren't playing the same game.


But, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong if you can get Blizzard to add a free-for-all server to their game.


Let's see how that works.


Just my humble opinion.

Would you guys still want a FFA server if there was some sort of death penalty? With out that you arn't true FFA'ers

darktide:
nub "you don't meet the requirements in our monarchy,"
*kill kill kill kill kill*
nub"i didn't know, stop griefing me!"
griefer "no"
*kill kill kill kill kill*

and in the nub area, the old timers on the server would camp the starter area so nubs can't join the server. if you can get passed them, you're in!

then turbine updated the nub area so you start in a nub zone where only nubs will be in there. you could get like 5 levels in it, once you exit you're dead meat still.

Absolutely.

Only because they have no perma-death server!

I come from old school ultima online where the victor got to loot your corpse of every single item you had with you, armor, weapons, gold, reagents, anything.

Plus I would not only loot you, I would kill your horse just to demoralize you further

I gladly accepted the murder count on my character's record

the idea of a death penalty sounds good to me but in practice it would probably frustrate me. the majority of my deaths are from things like going linkdead...its frustrating enough to have to die and give up points to an enemy...having an extra penalty on me in that kind of situation would suck.
