So, from all of the rambling I've been doing about PvP, some of you might know that I play on a PvP server. As of now, I'm just nearing level 30. Some of the pvp experiences I've had have been good, some have been not so good. It can be great fun, and it can be very frustrating.
But who of you have played high level PvP characters? I'm a bit confused as to how things go down in such situations. Because I've been hanging around the official forums for my server, and it seems that every other person there is some level 50-60 who has been with the same guild for over ten years, across half a dozen or so online games, only tolerating the puny 'pve' stuff, so they can level and find equipment, so as to go into tremendous battles with other scary people who have been with the same guild for ten years across half a dozen or so other online games.
It's frightening. It's like these people all know eachother, and all hate eachother, and the only reason they play is so that they can co-ordinate raids, kill everyone in sight, and flame eachother on the message boards.
Did I just pick the single server with all of the creepy pvp nerds, or is the majority of level-capped pvp-server action like this?
There seems to be maybe four or five ENORMOUS guilds in each faction, who do everything they can to embroil everybody in the server into mercillessly killing eachother at all times, because, of course, pvp is the ONLY reason to play on a pvp server.
So am I seeing an accurate potrayal here? Or are these just the random Forum Warriors who feel the need to be the greatest ever and kill everyone?
Because, well, I tend to like good pvp. But if I'm gonna hit level 60, and then proceed to do nothing but steamroll/get steamrolled by enemy guilds... FOREVER, then I'm not going to play on a pvp server anymore. Because that is pointless.
