Quote: Ah well, thanks for the information. It sounds like I wonât be on the FvF servers at all.
A reminder: This is literally Blizzard's first quick-and-dirty implementation of a sort of FvF type game, and they have said that this is nowhere near what they have envisioned for the future. They say that they are working on battlegrounds and the ability to take over towns, etc. I have no idea how it'll work either, but give them some time.
I know it sounds like I'm being an apologist for the PvP server, but it just comes from the fact that I've seen more griefing the times I've been on the PvE server than I have seen on the PvP server. Maybe now that there are bored level 50's around, that'll change, but we still have to see. Meanwhile, I'm actually enjoying myself on the PvP server, even when I get ganked. The possibility adds some tension to many areas that would otherwise be a boring grind. (The Shimmering Flats are a prime example). It also adds tension to doing things as simple as running up to the Scarlet Monastery, going to Dread Mist Peak (which is NW of crossroads) to finish an Ashenvale quest, and getting to Razorfen Downs. And, yeah, it's fun to get into fights with Horde players on occation.
I guess what I'm saying is that don't let a poster or two, who perhaps lends support to your own biases and imagination, sway you into thinking the PvP server (currently anyway) is one huge grief-fest. Are there problems on the server? Absolutely! But I have to say that I'm enjoying the thrill and suspence of traveling through and questing in contested areas more than I ever would have on the PvE server.
