You say this in literally every thread, and it in no way contributes positively to the discussion



Wanna start placing bets on how long these pve kiddies even last on their funhouse server?

This is a nice little addition, thanks.

Kiddies? As a 40+ year old man that is awaiting the PvE server, I'm flattered by such terms! Oh, to be young again... :D

I look at it this way!

Most people who are attracted to pvp servers are the same kind of gamer who are attracted to games such as league of legends, defense of the ancients, call of duty etc. In other words, the e-sport and fps crowd.

But i don't belong to that crowd, and that crowd surely don't interest me at all. I belong to the ultima online, darkfall hardcore pvp full loot mmorpg crowd. What i seek after in mmos is unpredictability and tension building.

a pvp server is way to predictable. Red is dead, and thats pretty much the whole game.
Just as the e-sports and fps crowd are used too, since that's their thing.

But a pvp server can never create unpredictability and tension. The only server type for wow that can do this is a pve server where one of the parts are pvp flagged. The only server type where i have had so bad reputation that i had a bounty on my head was on a pve server. The only server type where i was chased from one continent to another was on a pve server. For me pve servers have better world pvp than pvp servers.

You nailed it. These pvp kids are the new "college jocks" which bully others to feel the illusion that they are strong (thanks to the rpg nerds from the past which make possible a virtual social game to this kind of people experience. Oh! the irony) 8-)
Also, "red=dead" tends to break game's immersion sometimes.

How can you have a bounty on your head when the players you're killing have specified that they want to pvp ? I mean how can players be annoyed enough to put a bounty on your head when they just have to remove their pvp flag ? (Unless if you were invisible, waiting near players they aoe mobs in order to make them unintentionally activate the pvp flag)
