I've recently started playing on warmane, gave up on retail and its bull**** at the start of december. I was having loads of fun and was like "this is it, this is what I've been looking for" untill I reached redridge mountains, constantly getting killed(2-3 shotted) by overgeared similar level range alts of people. They wait next to your corpse and kill you again, for some reason these people enjoy this but trying to understand or change people is hard, however maybe we can do something about it. I think making PvP flag optional untill max level would help this server a lot, its a pvp server yes so obviously at max level lets make it mandatory, however untill max its about the journey of levelling, and since we dont have a pve server alternative I think it would be great for everyone to have a decent time(not spending all your time to wait out a resurrection timer) until max level, then probably get your *** kicked at max level but at least with a fighting chance to a degree.
I am not an dishonorable piece of trash that kills someone that in no perceivable way can kill me. Same goes with gold begging, some people tried to do charity I cancel the trade, honor and character exists in an out of games, but I see that the reason you are only able to think that because you are among those disgusting people, things wont change as long as number of people enjoy them being the way they are, thank you however for letting me know it has been suggested before and it wont happen, now I know lack of character is major in the population of the server and can move on elsewhere, take care.
"git gud"... uhuh, you can tell that to the skull level wimps that can only kill very low level players... barely.
Just killed a combo of two players again together with my friend, after which they were so mad they just won't leave you alone. And that's just too bothersome for me to relax in any way.
Btw, they started the attack... I work in a busy kitchen so I'm not into pvp when gaming. Found one of them at 15% health and left them alive as I REALLY CANNOT be bothered to pvp. I need to wind down, which to me means definitely not pvp. So my only choice is to not play here, obviously.
There is no pve server, so I cannot choose to NOT pvp. The people of these frankly awesome servers do however say that pve is forcing a playstyle on pvp players. But if that's true than pvp servers are forcing a playstyle on pve players. It goes both ways. And honestly, leveling a healer is simply not done (except through dungeons, which gets boring very quickly). You will always be killed and never at fair level (like you need to be op level against a healer... sigh).
I can only hope these servers will at some point have one single pve server (one can hope, right?). If I understand it right I just missed a seasonal pve server? That's a bummer, wish I was there for it. Would have enjoyed leveling through forget-it-areas like STV :).
In every other case I'm off to ff14 for my relaxation because at some point I just need to wind down and I can't do that here. Which is fair, these servers are free which is awesome and I can't nag about that, don't get me wrong. I do however think you can attract a lot more people that hate pvp (in rpgs) as much as I do. You won't "fracture the playerbase"... as these are typically people that simply won't play this game if it's not pve. What I think is the real problem is that you cannot make a lot of money on these people as they are often satisfied just playing the game. They are not the rush-rush kind of player, so they tend to feel less pressure and therefore are not very good whales.
Which is somewhat fair, as these servers are f2p. Just theorizing here on why a pve server is such a nono.
But... hope to be there for the next pve seasonal if it happens ever. I understand I can't ask for anything, as this is f2p. But I'll be wishing... right here in my pvp free safe zone corner xD. I still have my old carebear from the 80's so maybe I should literally put it on a pedestal over there... seems funny to me.
