Yes, because facerolling undergeared PUGS with BM-geared pre-mades in warzones is much more honest and competetive, and isn't really just ganking at all is it?
Look at Eve Online and World of Tanks. Two game that are both centered around PvP (especially WoT which is exclusively PvP) and both are very sucessful.
I initially rolled on a PvE server, but I am tempted to reroll on a PvP server (not just because my original server is dying), but if there's no open world PvP, then what's the point?
I want to experience good, large-scale spontaneous open-world PvP. I'll be keeping tabs on how GW2 works out.
My server is now dead, my guild is demoralised, and I no longer have the motivation to log-in to an empty server.
The saddest thing of all is that all of this was avoidable.
Every planet should have PvP zones, much like outlaws den on Tatooine. Even on PvE servers.
these zones should contain nodes for rare crafting mats, that frequently change location. This provides a reason for players to visit these areas. Then hey presto! We have open world PvP.
Too bad the game engine wouldn't be able to cope with it.
