that's been my greatest grudge for awhile now. i started playing mmo's in the first place for the sole feature that is open world pvp. in every game i've played, it's been the random encounters that i look back most fondly. it starts at minute one, when you plan out the path of your character with killing people in mind, and ends with your knowledge of the opposing class and the strategy employed to come out on top. i never found pvp based rewards to be any motivation for my continued play. it's the fighting itself that kept me excited. then you start getting into 2v1 and dropping larger groups and oh shit, too fucking fun
so yah, fps's exclusively for a year and then some now. maybe i got off track here, but for serious guys, pvp for the sake of pvp. wtf happened to that? i'm biding my time in this cave til that style emerges again it looks like, if it ever does.
