And it’s always that character that can stealth away that is the biggest crap talker about world PVP too. Always.

I respect your opinion. Since Vanilla, I’ve played on 3 pve servers, and 3 pvp servers. And thru warmode on 2 others. It’s been my experience that way.
Uh huh. Okay.
I played on pvp servers until Cata. Now I play PVE because a lot of the time I want to quest and explore the world without being bothered. I did put serious thought into playing on a PVP server for classic but I decided on PVE. Sure pvp servers have some fun fights that happen but I’ve found for every cool pvp battle that happens 4 or 5 ganks happen where someone gets an easy kill off of you because they vastly outnumber you, are much higher level, or you are fighting a mob and at half heath for example.
I think everyone is focusing on leveling now, but if I encounter what looks like a good pvp fight I would certainly flag myself and jump in.
You’re right, it’s not. However MOST cases where someone engages in open world PVP, it’s not always equal PVP. It’s usually someone ganking a lowbie or 4 people questing together and running into a lone member of the opposite faction. There is nothing to really “learn” for that lowbie or lone wanderer for their class. They’re going to die, that’s it.
In BGs, you’re fighting on more equal ground. That’s where you’ll sharpen that PVP pencil.
That’s a really big change from what PVP was in Vanilla. Yes there have always been some jerks, but by and large PVP was to be around people in the same zone as you, relatively the same level.
It just always happens that some people have to take advantage of a situation and ruin the fun experience for one that will border on harassment in the game.
The thing is, people need to not accept that behavior from the people on their own side if it’s ever going to change.
Nah, i think a bunch of nice people play on PvP servers. I found a bunch of people that wouldn’t punch down and ride past, usually the bigger threat came from equally leveled enemies trying to cap the same mobs as me but all it took was one high-level ganker to turn the whole place upside down.
Back when I was 15 that was cool, that even motivated me to push forward but now I’m done with enduring other’s bullcrap. Having two kids and working 11 hours a day is enough of a hardship for me.
And for the forum mouthbreathing mongos I rarely pay any attention to them. The moment they start paying my subscription fee then I’ll care for what they have to say, for the meantime they can shove their opinions on how I spend my recreational time up where the sun doesn’t shine.
That will vary from server to server. I’ve read people who say “this zone is always a warzone” while others are like “uh… not here it isn’t.”
I do get it, “stuff” happens of all degrees but it’s just the risk you take and as I’ve said many times, it’s worth it for vanilla world raids which were the most epic PVP outside of AV (for me, at least).
It absolutely is lol. Same thing with maintaining range leading into kiting. Situational awareness is something that is built up by repeated exposure.
I learned I can take on people that outlevel me by a lot if the situation is right (eg they are kiteable) that I never would have because I played on a pvp server where I didn’t get to choose when I was opted in.
Wow… Some of the replies here are the reason I chose a PvE server…
This thread is entertaining, keep it going…

That’s actually untrue. I’ve played both server types though, and you obviously haven’t. You have a one sided view, and don’t seem to understand how PvE servers operate. You’re basically just making uneducated guesses, because you think no real PvP happens on PvE servers, which is not true.
as i have leveled on many pvp servers i can confirm 100% those that say such things are generally bad those are the type of folks who are t3 geared sitting in redridge ganking level 14s lol just bad! also most of the best actual pvpers play pve!

God forbid people have a choice to play the game with or without World PVP…
Jesus Christ…
I clearly have but keep making stuff up there
Why not? You’ve been making stuff up for upwards of an hour.
Haven’t made up anything but keep trying to misdirect from the actual discussion. I gave clear examples that you are throwing a tantrum over and then switch to ad hom attacks because you can’t “win” the argument.
Put your summon sign down in Anor Londo, kid.
No need to fight, gentleman.
I don’t blame PVP server people (I am one too) for some of the views they may have on PVE server players. Some people only know what they know from hearsay or memes.
There is no right/wrong way to play or right/wrong server to play on. Some like one aspect, some like another. Some like heavy servers while some like dead ones.
That’s the beauty of a game like this. So many ways to find fun.
I personally don’t enjoy PVE content in most MMO’s so I don’t have a PVP character. I much prefer working together as a group to do PVE content.
Because they have to tell themselves something to justify that pvp servers are nothing more than sanctioned griefing.
