Why are most people going to a PvP server? ⚔

[Erebos-feathermoon]

This incredibly hyperbolic and disingenuous. I’m going to make a statement and say that everyone knows that’s not the case, and anyone suggesting as such is doing so dishonestly.

Then you proceed to not say how I’m wrong. Everyone know’s that’s the way world PvP works. If you’re not at least 40 levels above your target, it’s not a fair fight.

[Gridlock-norgannon]

If you wanted to be flagged 99% of the time for hard mode, you’d be on a pvp server.

Except for that 1% when I just want to chill.
Sometimes I just want to relax with a game of solitaire, without the threat of the cards catching on fire at any moment.

So you’re going to sit there and stand by your statement that “As soon as you enter Ashenvale, a level 60 is waiting to kill you and camp your for hours.” If you need me to say how you’re wrong, it’s that ‘No. There isn’t always someone waiting for you to kill you, otherwise you would never get anything done.’ Considering there were MANY level 60s in the game, it disproves your outlandish statement that there’s always a 60 waiting to camp you.

Except for that 1% when I just want to chill.
Sometimes I just want to relax with a game of solitaire, without the threat of the cards catching on fire at any moment.

Then you’re not particularly looking for hardmode, right? Or are PvP servers mythic mode? (Honest jokes, not mockery, please don’t hate me)

[Gridlock-norgannon]

Then you’re not particularly looking for hardmode, right?

You only need to look at my previous post to know I’m down for world danger and ganking threats 99% of the time. 1% of the time, yeah, I ain’t lookin’ for a fight.

There are some beautiful zones in WoW that have great ambience for fishing, cooking, or just general chilling. Sometimes I want to hang out in those places undisturbed. Throw on a bit of Floyd, grab a beer and reduce my IRL stress levels with a game I love for an hour or so.

[Vitolri-moon-guard]

Don’t worry. I feel ya on that. The danger ain’t always fun, and sometimes it’s amazing just to sit back and chill. I’m just playing around with the hardmode stuff. I’m glad you know how you’ll be enjoying the game.

[Gridlock-norgannon]

I know, mate. No offence taken over here.

Then why discuss it where we ARE talking about official servers? I can only assume you’re talking about private servers then, in which case, that’s already something against ToS/illegal, thus you’ll find the seedier types there.

It’s against the rules in the EULA. But so is swearing.

Running around flagged on a PVE realm is just puffery. You look daring, you look bad, you pretend you are risking it all and are much cooler than your unflagged brethren. In reality, you are on a PVE server where no one is game for the unexpected. So you get the strokes of being vulnerable by choice - knowing full well nobody is going to take advantage of that vulnerability.

It’s far more lame than just doing the PVE thing and not worrying about looking tough.

[Jalen-emerald-dream (Jalën)]

What’s the real reason to go to a PvP server? To relive the Vanilla experience?

Because I find a world where players are constantly trying to kill me very thrilling. It makes for some dynamic scenarios where I’m always having to be on my toes and expect the unexpected and react accordingly.

[Gridlock-norgannon]

You just can’t help being a diick with all your responses here, eh?
You like PVP. Congratulations. I don’t, so stop flexing to me because I’m not impressed by your forced bravado. If anyone here’s trying to look tough, it’s you, bruh.

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

You like PVP. Congratulations. I don’t

That’s fine man - but all the phony swagger about running around always flagged isn’t fooling anyone here, except maybe yourself.

[Gridlock-norgannon]

Da fuq are you still going on about?
I literally said playing on PVE while flagged for PVP is the absolute best for me. It gives me the rush I want out of the game. Do you think I give a flying fuq what some internet randos think about that?

[Ziryus-doomhammer (Ziryus)]

I mean do you really think the swagger players on pvp servers have is fooling anyone either?

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

Evidently you do.

[Gridlock-norgannon]

Evidently you do

Well that’s the problem with arguing a point with someone on forums, isn’t it?
It’s a lose lose situation for me here. If I don’t comment on your inane responses then you’re “Haha, I won the argument because he doesn’t even know how to respond.” and if I do respond, then it’s “Haha, he cares enough to respond to my inane responses.”

So, I’m going to try going the other way this time and just ignore anything else you have to say, including the snide response you’ll no doubt have to this one.

Cheers, mate.

[Eaglesgift-ravenholdt (Eaglesgift)]

Checkmate.

I don’t care for PvPing. How can I miss out on something I have no interest in?

this can be said both ways… yet the pvp side gets criticized the most. why that be?

[Korvior-dalaran]

Probably because of the superiority attitude a lot of PVPers have towards PVErs about how they’re “not experiencing the full game” or are “carebears” simply because they choose to play the game on a non-aggresive server.

Maybe PVP servers would be less criticized if the players there didn’t act like tools half the time they posted when it comes to PVE servers.

Well if you look at this thread there’s a lot of pvpers who want to pretend they’re better just because they play on pvp servers.

Ask someone else, I never criticized pvp, I’m just not interested in it.
