PvP Server

[TheDragoon]

The poster signed on to the PvP server and should have known the rules of the server going into it and the possibilities for griefing.

Contrary to what a lot of the loud-mouthed PvP supporters on that board, I don't really think he was whining. I'm sure he does know the current rules for the server but was just posting to let people (and Blizzard) know the sort of thing that was happening on the FvF server. I have a feeling that the way it is currently working is very different than the original Blizzard ideas of what the server should be like and we'll see changes in game mechanics to try and limit the annoyances and opportunities to grief while still allowing people to engage in faction combat.

Similarly, I got in a discussion in Ashenvale the other day about PvP on the FvF server. Myself and a few others were discussing what we thought were bad parts about the way things were going. It was a rather open discussion where we talked of the weaknesses of the system and the griefing and pointlessness of combat against those +- 5 levels of you. While we were sharing what we didn't like about the system, there was no whining. Yet one loud-mouthed pro-PvP player continually tried to shout us down claiming we were whining and that we should "get off the server." I think that a lot of people need to learn that "whining" has an inherent negativity in it. If you're being productive and not taking things personally, then discussing weaknesses and bad points of something is positive, despite focusing on things you don't like. Honestly, we were looking at things we thought were stupid and coming up with possible fixes (which we then /suggest'ed).

To sum up, not all discussion of problems and negative parts of things are whining or implies that people are playing on the wrong server. I think that the poster was just trying to see if there was a plan to fix what he perceived to be a problem with the game. Given that the poster referenced GM's and what was said about the rules for PvP, I'm fairly certain he did know the rules of the server. However, that server is still in its infancy. There will still be a lot of work on it and the poster was just giving his input into what wasn't working and searching for ways to fix it.
