Should BW cause "controlled mayhem" in this game?

The main complaint that I saw in the "griefing" thread was the ability of cross faction people to turn on their flag just before exploding. This caused you to get infected AND flagged and subsequently ganked, whereas if a cross faction was not flagged you would get infected and NOT flagged.

It had less to do with being infected and more to do with a suspect game mechanic (see glitch/bug/exploit)

Then, welcome to the 6% minority - I´m sure Hello Kitty Online is better suited for people which want to have a "fair and safe game" at any and all times.

really? you think only 6% of the people who play this game think that lvl 50s ganking on lowbies is not ok?

I can see your point, but try to look at things from a different perspective. This is supposed to be an online universe, right? Now, in the very same universe, thousand of years later, a high level sith named Anakin Skywalker ganked a bunch of lowbies in the Jedi Temple (the children padawans).

It's something that in an alive universe can happen, strong people taking on the weaks. It would make the world feel alive, along with many other things.

I said *controlled* mayhem, did you not read the post? It´s not just like walking in and killing 100 level 10 without any limitations.
So what´s with GW2 dynamic events when a giant monster spawns in the middle of low lvl players and a huge group needs to defeat this high level monster. Guess there will be whiny complaints too about how unfair this is...

Yeah, warning to those who enter this Thread: Ravenhurst means well, but his ideas are not quite fully formed. He's trying, guys. Just give him merit for that. He's an optimist.

Errm yeah seems nice for PvP servers but most people who role on PvE servers did so to prevent this from happening. Why does it have to be on low level planets anyway? You really think they enjoy being killed by level 50's? I wouldnt...

Lolwut... there are by my rough count for us servers:

70 PVE servers
41 PvP servers
9 RP-PVE severs
3 RP-PVP servers

soooooo 59% of the servers are for 6% of the population... or 31% of the servers are for 94% of the population... Your logic is clearly flawed sorry...

Why, this should ONLY happen on PVP servers, I don´t care about PvE servers, players can stay in their save zone servers forever, feeling cosy.

But the PvP servers should offer some "rougher" playstyles.

There is even one new server type in Age of Conan where everyone can be ganked anytime, there are people who like that kind of realism.
So if you are the type of Anakin Skywalker who was a padawan ganker, you would roll on a server like this. Why should BW not remove the game´s diapers for people who want it?

Originally you were calling the people who didn't want this a 6% minority. I take it you are revising that?

They already do. I honestly think that programming resources shouldn't be dumped into PvP only servers and have nothing for the majority of the player base. Hint: It's a pretty safe bet that the majority of the player base in THIS game are on PVE servers.

In this game they are in the minority, and I might add that people who enjoy pvp servers don't automatically subscribe to that play style.

I love how you equate people who don't think griefing is cool as carebears or "being in diapers", as if kicking a puppy makes you tough. It's neat that you think a level 50 killing level 10's is what tough guys do <rolls eyes> but where you see yourself as big and tough, I see you as someone who enjoys bullying and griefing people weaker than you.
