Why even have pvp servers anymore?

Phoenix · 10-26-2005, 08:37 PM

Whats the point of even have pvp servers if everything is focused on BGs? DKs for attacking towns, diminishing returns, and god like guards all discourage open PvP. Seriously, these rules Blizzard is putting into place are *extremely* annoying. Nothing more retarded then watching hunters and mages(and rogues every 5 minutes) severly abuse guards and waste people in gadgetzan. All those guards do is screw over normal people and empower a few classes.

This is more of a rant after being killed 5 times by hunters on a trip to gadgetzan to get a quest item, but my point still stands! Im tired of dumbass rules that do nothing more than make me pissed off at this game.

WoW is just barely ahead of the Sims in pvp....... Yes we know this, you are beating a dead horse!

BGs seem to be more popular on pvp servers.

I don't think I will ever level another character on a pvp server. Getting ganked is so annoying.

Being ganked I dont have a problem with, its seeing a hunter with epic inside gadgetzan ganking me that pisses me off. Or hunters throwing up flare and guards not attacking them.

You know, it'd probably be much easier if Phoenix were given access to post directly to the rickshaw.

(and by 'given access', I mean 'not allowed to post anywhere else')

I don't get the point of the 100/75/50/25 pvp penalty. It's supposed to discourage both griefing a person over and over, and to prevent collusion to achieve ridiculously high honor gains. Fine, make it so the penalty exists for killing the same person .. sequentially .. within an hour, tops. When I'm in my 10th BG of the day and I see the exact .. same .. people, it's retarded I cannot gain any honor besides the bonus. It's BONUS honor .. as in, above and beyond the normal honor.

Diminishing returns should reset on every BG. To keep people from colluding and just farming each other in a BG, keep the diminishing returns for any 1 BG (so 5th kill = nothing but next game it's back to 100%).

They should also increase honor for world pvp, such as a town raid. They would need to put in checks to prevent exploiting .. but perhaps if all guards in a town are killed and for 30 minutes they are re-killed within 5 minutes your faction's NPC pops up and gives everything there 2000 honor for every honor you keep control of the town. Then you can give specific towns other objectives .. killing specific npcs, cutting over a supply route (such as XR to Org, Kharanos to IF), espionage, sabotage, etc. I think it would be pretty easy to make world pvp fun without griefing the players using it as a leveling area (unless you're on a pvp server).

solution:
Faction loss for PKing in a steamwheedle cartel town.

If you play on a PVP server, you are never allowed to complain about griefing.
