PvP on PvE Stormrage

With the exception of things like Mind Control that can force you into PvP whether you want to or not. ;)

I have no doubt this will be fixed soon. They're not dumb enough to leave this exploit around for too long until everyone's doing it, even though most griefers will select the PvP server type and not be on the PvE servers to try it.

For endless going-around-in-circles discussion about this very issue, there are plenty of examples raging in the Blizzard forums. One of the arguments that keeps arising that I didn't consider before is that many people new to WoW aren't aware that there can be PvP on a "Normal" server, and thus chose PvP servers because they believed they were the only servers that would allow *any* PvP at all. I would not be surprised to see that, over time, the PvP servers slowly but surely reduce in population as word spreads that you can have just as much fun (town raids, etc) over on the Normal servers, but without all the pointless ganking, corpse camping, and griefing. This would be equivalent to the situation described in that article Mongo linked to where the population of "Killers" just simply drives off everyone else, and the server population implodes.

With Battlegrounds implementing PvP rewards on a PvE server, it becomes even more pointless...
