PvP

[lfd]

Ultimately, you pick PvE servers so that you can PvP when you want to.  To me, it's mostly about being able to get to 60 without being ganked to holy hell.  But that doesn't mean you can just ignore it in a bubble of your own.[right][snapback]75259[/snapback][/right]

No, we have to put up with torrents of tedious /spit, /chicken etc. until people finally learn that they're not going to provoke a reaction and just leave us alone to continue questing (unless they've just killed the npc we were trying to hand a quest into, and are waiting for it to respawn so they can kill it again). For me, I don't think I've ever had an evenly-levelled player do this; it's always been a ?? player, or group of such. /chickening me because I won't flag when I'm surrounded by several much higher levels annoys me *the wrong way*. It just makes me want to find an inn and log out.

That said, there was a small group of mid-30s attacking Razor Hill guards (and only guards) the other night. That was fun, because there was no emoted provocation, no spoiling of the game for the low-levels in the zone, and no absurd over-levelled ganking/zerging going on.

And until you've tried playing a Priest at the top of the Great Lift, using Mind Control to fling anyone who attacks you off the cliff to their deaths, you just haven't lived.  :)[right][snapback]75259[/snapback][/right]

Yes, that _is_ fun, isn't it? Freewind post is great to defend for that reason alone. Watching the level 60 rogue creep up behind the night elf who's too busy /flirt-ing with you to pay attention to his surroundings is also amusing. The PvP side of a PvE server CAN be good fun, but it's all too often ruined by actions of the other side who would be far better suited to a roleplaying server; it seems a lot of the PvPers on PvE servers forget that most people are there to have fun, not to be irritated.
