If they make a oPvP server then people would flock to it for a month or 2, then it would trickle down to the purists, with the random person popping by to try it out.

If you don't want to play on a opvp server then don't, nothing is making you.

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

Let's use common sense.



Yes, let's. It doesn't matter what the "vast majority" wants, only enough people for it to be profitable. Is that the case? I have no idea. I believe I stated I probably wouldn't play on an FFA server again, I am just not as small minded as to characterize everyone that does as a certain type of person.

Again, your argument is flawed.


It does matter what the 'vast majority' wants. Sometimes with unfortunate results such as nerfs from whining. For a business to stay in business, they follow the demand with the appropriate supply. If the majority of supply goes to a minority of demand, you don't sell as much product.


Pretty simple.


As far a being small-minded, I believe people speak from their experiences in a PvP and a free-for-all server. It's a given they will speak their opinion from their experiences.


Again, common sense.


Whether you disagree with their opinion doesn't make it small-minded, when referencing a topic in a computer game, it just makes their opinion an opinion which you disagree with.


That said, when you belittle their opinion, it does not make your argument stronger. In fact, quite the opposite.


Edits: Clarification, spelling, grammar.

I think WoW is profitable.


In Azeroth, a murderer of allies and same race would be jailed for life or executed. Why have a server where everyone is killed off or in jail?

It's not like WoW PVP is that good.

It's like little league sports. Everyone gets a trophy.

Ideology is not reality.
To make good policy, one must consider all ideologies and decide which best solves the reality of the situation. Ideology is afterall, JUST AN IDEA.

I don't see what you did there.
