Quote:From what I see and feel, most of the Lounge has no problem with the first definition of world pvp. The problem comes with the definition of ganking, which is looked on (rightly or wrongly) as being a jerk for being a jerks sake, because there is no mechanic in the game expressly forbidding it.

Now, because there is no mechanic to prevent it (Though I am amused by WAR's "chicken" idea) it is not, per se, wrong. But a lot of folks in the Lounge (and I include myself in this number) have difficulty understanding how ruining someone else's gametime (and that's what low level ganking is, really, whether they expect it or not being on a pvp server) can be deemed 'fun and enjoyable'.

My view summed up in a much more eloquent (and non-aggressive) way than I could do myself.

For what it's worth, I'll apologize for being hostile -- but there is absolutely nothing that can tick me off more than someone ruining someone else's time for 'fun', regardless of whether or not they "accepted" it by rolling on a PvP server. It ruins PvP servers for those of us who wants to experience fair world PvP without ganking, which cannot happen on a PvE server.

I consider it repugnant, and I will never come to consider it any other way.
