I never play on a PVP server for this reason but my guild decided to play on a PVP server and I hate it. I just wanna quest and lvl. It’s no one’s fault I get ganked since I’m on PVP and want to play with my guild but Might pick a PVE server just to lvl lol.
I think that if you are a hardcore player (no full time job) and you can manage to keep up with the top players a pvp server experience at this day in age will be awesome for you. But if you have a lot to balance irl, it’s best to be on a normal server.
