Ok bro Iâm not usually a one upper but lemme holla atchya real quick.
I get up at 4am get to work for 5am I work until about 4-5 depending on the day. Get home help 3 kids bang out homework(actually doing that right now got off half hour early due to rain) then I have one kid in football practice 530-830 simultaneously a kid at soccer practice 6-8 that wife does on other side of town.
Get home wolf down dinner shower, now Iâm looking at about 930 kids in bed maybe watch something with the wife, pray I get some nookie but dread actually doing so because it means less sleep(if I do it right and put in the work that is but happy wife happy life right?)
my only options are weekend evenings if Iâm lucky or a random Wednesday (only day off from sports)
Counts for the wife too she plays when i do.
Why you in such a hurry to level bro? What magically happens at level 60 that you are all in such a rush for.
Because Blizzard doesnât force players to only roll one faction or the other on a server once the population starts to get unbalanced. They let players go where they will and be whatever faction they like.
One of the biggest complaints when CRZ was introduced in retail was that it messed up the balance/unbalance and population of servers, at least in the open world.
Some players intentionally roll on low pop servers cause they like it that way. Some intentionally look for a server that is skewed toward their faction. Some look for more balance options.
Who cares? Play on whatever server type or faction you want.

I reached rank 14 on a pvp server, have nothing to prove so im in pve now.
In a completely voluntary way that affects PvP in zero way, yet here we are with the age old argument of âI donât get why you donât like to be constantly ganked.â

I think this is the fear mongering that has people so afraid of PvP servers. In my experience camping rarely happens. Yes, Iâll get ganked every now and then. But for someone to sit on my corpse⊠people have better things to do for the most part.

No, I wouldnât. Iâve played on PvP servers before. Not interested in doing it again.

If they removed PvP servers, the hardcore PvP crowd would quit, and server balance would only matter for BG queues.
Face it, man. PvP and PvE players are two entirely different types of people. It is like Horror fans and Urban Fantasy fans. Sure, there may be some overlap, but trying to force Buffy the Vampire Slayer viewers to watch nothing but Hellraiser (or vice-versus) is going to just leave everyone pissed off.

But bgâs arenât in.
I donât invalidate bgâs. Pvp is pvp.
I mean, nothing I say will convince you to do something you donât like to do and not should it.
More I feel that a lot of people get this idea that they will be constantly camped and itâs usually not the case in my experience.
From what Iâve seen most people who avoid pvp servers avoid pvp in general although I realize thatâs not always the case.
I feel like if more people tried it and didnât care about losing so much they might actually enjoy it.
We are reaching entitlement levels that shouldnât even be possible.
I donât know if that is an entirely accurate analogy, but it is hilarious

Personally if they removed PvE servers, Iâd just unsubscribe and take my money elsewhere. Sure most of my friends would too. Iâm not going to get into playstyle preference as thatâs a futile debate and to each their own, but if Blizzard ONLY had PvP servers from the very beggining then it may be a different story, but that ship has sailed and here we are.
I see nothing good coming from such an action and opening up a lot of issues were it to occur now. I actually see things becoming far worst for PvP potentially in various ways.
While I feel MOST people would just flat out quit if PvE was removed, these are the issues I see occuring if most/all decided to stay.
- If most or all PvE players decided to remain and play on PvP servers, your crowded servers are now even more crowded.
- I canât say for sure obviously, but just like how RPers have been able to strongly unite to create unofficial RP servers, if people really wanted to they could make an unofficial PvE server, which would contradict the actions taken and I can see it pising off PvP players because you now have a significant pool of people not wanting to participate in PvP.
- if the PvE population were to move to existing PvP servers, there is just as much if not a greater chance of the imbalances becoming worst than better.
This would destroy an enjoyable aspect of the gameplay for those who want PvP realms. It may not be MY style of play, but some like the sense of danger, of always having to be on their toes, of calling in reinforcements, of remembering the names and hunting them down later when thereâs less level imbalance.
I donât want their fun ruined to improve mine, any more than I want mine removed to improve theirs.
Faction imbalance is really only an issue on PvP realms anyway, and tends to be exacerbated quickly by players who donât want to be the underdog.
Faction imbalance is a bigger issue related to regular (unscripted) wPvP and faction economy / progress. I donât actually remember if theyâve said BGs will be cross-realm from the get-go or single realm. Single realm would have issues with the imbalance, but cross-realm would mean a realm like Heartseeker was queued in with a realm like Herod, and the imbalances offset each other more.

Thatâs why I said ganking and not camping.
Iâm aware that even on PVP servers, most players wonât camp as itâs a waste of everyoneâs time. But what DOES happen all the time on PVP servers are players nuking significantly lower level players of the opposing faction. Or gathering a large group and overwhelming single players or much smaller groups. Or attacking players while they are engaged with multiple mobs and canât possibly defend themselves easily against attacks from all sides. You get the gist.
I like PVP when itâs even. The kind where everyone is the same level, has the same standardized equipment, and the same numerical count. In those instances, itâs all about skill, and skill is all I care about. But thatâs not what PVP servers are about for the most part.
In terms of roleplaying and lore, I prefer the cold war attitude of PVE servers. People are on edge around other faction members, but are generally grudgingly polite ⊠until one person turns PVP on and invites it to escalate wildly.

So then if they are not in, but eventually will, who really cares what we do in Phase 1?
Agree to disagree with how we value our time spent, i guess.
More I feel that a lot of people get this idea that they will be constantly camped and itâs usually not the case in my experience.
It actually is the case in a lot of cases that really stick out in peopleâs minds. Some fights are matched up ârelativelyâ â often cases, its just a bored skull level opponent who wants to grief you.
Listen, Iâve been playing PvP servers for the last three years prior to Classic - I wonât tell you you are definitively wrong, and that all cases are homogeneous, but I think people are glossing over how frequently bored high levels just grief people because they can. Nothing wrong with being OK with that, and loving PvP servers! - but nothing wrong with me saying I donât want to entertain that environment, either.

I remember trying out a game that had open world pvp as the only option. Think it was aion. Liked a lot of the game however being hunted for kills everytime I logged and found it increasingly impossible to level, led me to quit. Will never play a game that does not have a pve only option.
