Explain why. Why must it be one or the other?

Pvp is in an entire zone.
It’s kind of in the middle of the map.
If you flag for pvp you have to go to town to turn it off.
If you try to convert shards you’re flagged and EVERYONE IN THE ZONE is alerted to your attempt.
Essentially, if you want to collect shards you have no choice to pvp.
But if you’re just passing through, you can do so freely.
I don’t see the issue.

They aren’t ‘planning’ to have it - they HAVE added it. Baked into the code. This was known about from the start. This thread is about whether players should be forced to participate in the zones where it takes place.
Because it is called OPEN PVP its not open if you have to select the option to opt-in. Do you see games like AION, New World, WoW, etc requiring people to “Opt-in” to pvp? Hell no you don’t they all allow people to wreck your face if they choose to do so whenever they want in the PVP ZONE.
If you dont want to get PKed then stay out of the PVP zone period.
Can’t gank n00bs. The last thing many…if not most PvPers want is a fair fight.

Um. Yes.
Wow allows you to opt in and out of pvp.
Also, you don’t lose your entire character if you die in PVP in those games.
You do in d4 if you’re on HC.
You don’t see the distinction here at all? AION sold as a PVP game. New World sold as a PVP Game and even has its own battlegrounds for those who want to participate along with a toggle to opt in. Versus WoW is OPT IN PVP from servers to battlegrounds to arena, it is all opt in.
Let people opt in or not. PVPers can PVP each other, and PVE’ers can PVE.
The only argument I see here is that PVP players want more targets because there isn’t enough PVP Players. If there isn’t enough PVP players, then maybe you should ask yourself why and work on solving that problem. Forcing people to PVP has NEVER EVER WORKED, in any videogame ever unless it was designed and sold that way from the start.

Well if this is the case and there will be no dedicated PvP zone, I can rest easy now. Because of punishing respec costs and no PvP build swap, I was not looking forward to having to run a duplicate character every season just to gear and spec for PvP anyway.
If they are not taking PvP seriously then I won’t waste my time and won’t participate in it.
In both games AION and New World both have zones and enough of them that you dont ever have to go in the PVP zones if you dont want to. WoW Opt-in process is by choosing a server that allows PVP. You dont select a option in game to say “Hey, I suck at the game and dont want to get pked in the OPEN PVP zones.”
Again OPEN PVP is OPEN not Opt-in, make a server for the cry babies that dont want PVP see the 150 people on those servers vs the 1.5million on the PVP servers.

exactly. when a game is build from the ground up as a pvp game then it is possible otherwise is just chaos and usually the result is a dead empty game afterwards
umm WoW got rid of PvP servers years ago. It’s opt in per character on any server now.
You realize that PvP Servers don’t really exist in a PVE game right. If they made PvP and PvE servers for this game, 90% of them would be PvE and the other 10% would be wasted space.
Yes. The 150 cry baby PvP players.
Imagine thinking there will be more than a handful of you troglodytes.

Actually you do.
They don’t have pvp servers any more.
Pvp is warmode, and you turn it on and off in a major city.
It’s been this way for like 6 years.

Havnt played WoW since Burning crusade, and there are plenty of private servers that are PVP only. I dont care to debate it with anyone, blizzard said Open PVP. Its not open PVP if you have to opt-in to PVP.
But its ok allow the opt-in option so that when there are millions of bots afk spoon farming this game like diablo immortal (cause you can) you will realize that open PVP zones should have stayed OPEN.
Bye
PvP will be completely retarded:P. It will be just for the lols. After you guys log in read the overpower mechanic, if that works in pvp…
Just make a PVP arena where everyone who wants to PVP can and people who don’t want to, don’t have their pve ruined by sweats
Absolutely, I think the option should be to gain materials either by PvP or PVE. Maybe I don’t want to farm PVE all day, because PVP is a lot more exciting to me. Maybe it’s the opposite and I want to grind mobs because I find that fun and I’m don’t want to PvP at all. Both options for progression should be there.
