I couldn’t find if this was already discussed but what are peoples thoughts of say 3-6 open pvp servers? WvWvW would still function the same however. Have to set aside your differences for the good of the world

The game wasn’t coded for it. So it’s not gonna happen. You want PVP… it’s in sPVP and WvWvW. That’s it. Heck you can’t even duel anyone… you figure out how to smack the guy next to you, get back to us on the 3-6 open PVP servers.
Open PvP how? I didn’t know we had more than one faction.
He means wide open like Age of Conan or Ultima Online.
I don’t see how that works in a game where the entire design is around open cooperation between players (for example, DEs — woould have to be removed from a open PvP server, and there goes your core content).

Nah, we’re still at war with those Charr scumbags. For Ascalon!
Seriously, though, I don’t see how open PvP worlds would work. It just doesn’t make sense in this game’s setting.

Anet have already stated that they wouldn’t have pvp servers. As far as they’re concerrned, WvW is open PvP. They’ve gone to a lot of effort to remove opportunities for griefing, and put in a lot of things to promote co-operative play and a good server community.
Doesn’t leave any room for open world pvp, I’m afraid.

One main problem with the PvP in the previous game was the snobbatude of some players. They’d get mad if you bring a level 20 you took time to level and learn to play well. Yet they didn’t care if you bring a toon you created two seconds before playing and never had time learning how to play it. I’m glad they did away with that PvP-only concept that was great idea but once the human factor entered it, made it useless.
Arenanets policy is that PvP will always be a side game and should not affect the PvE game in any way. Gw1 managed fine and still does. Theres no reason at all for “pvp servers” in gw2, unless you are really that kind of player who needs someone to stroke your ego, or simply because you want to gank those lower levelled or lower geared than yourself.
