Here are some facts:
- GW2 PvE is built to be cooperative play; open PvP in PvE is competitive. The design concepts don’t mix.
- Western MMO’s that offer PvP servers are all built to support that feature, and have factions which are enemies. GW2 does not have those factions.
- WvW fills a similar niche. There are factions there. There are PvE-like objectives (mobs, tasks to complete, looking over one’s shoulder while doing so is a good idea, etc.).
- ANet has periodically put in incentives to get players into WvW. The most recent example is the daily changes. Open PvP in PvE would likely detract from WvW.
All of this means that it is highly unlikely you will ever see what you’re asking for.
I think this is more what i was looking. Most people are wanting to reply “no” or “yes” but without any specific reasoning as to why. I think i could see this.
I can say personally i never had any issues with “camping or griefing” even in wow as far as that goes, i just always liked the idea of open world pvp. Not sure why but i hate having to join an instance just to pvp.
Even on non pvp servers you COULD pvp if you wanted to by turning the pvp option on, so that way those who wanted to could, and those that didn’t want to couldn’t be attacked(unless they did something stupid like invade the opposing factions base, in which case pvp is implied).
I wonder about a world pvp toggle? this way it would be mutual, and those who didn’t want to didn’t have to.
I like the concept and the fun it create, i also understand it creates camping and unfun “questing” etc.
The fun is only on side of the school bullys that like to grief other players and jump
in their back when they are already nearly dead from fighting against mobs.So NO .. for the 10.000th time.
These games may work in Korea, but not in the west.
And here is an example that makes me wonder if the toxicity ad griefing might be not on the side of the PvPers after all. Calling the OP a school bully for expressing an opinion and asking a question ?
Now that you bring the subject up – when that opinion is wanting to be able to attack other players who aren’t interested in PvP? Wanting to fight other people who don’t want to fight other people seems to fit the description of a bully quite well.
World pvp comes in different formats. In wow it is also toggleable on non pvp servers, so those who want to, could. I never expressed what you said directly, you inferred YOUR viewpoint into mine, which is also a logical fallacy, because if you consider one side, you must also consider the opposite. Read my above response about a solution that encompasses both sides.
How do you counteract the players who will pester people and harasss them if they don’t turn it on? There are people who already give anecdotes that it is already hard for ANet to punish harassers.
