You Need To Reward Open World PvP - ASAP!

no, not necessarily, that is only 1 bleak outcome possible. I really wish there was some good old crazy fighting going on within some of the cool zones available. There should be somewhere you can go and expect others that are like-minded as you are. Currently there is no fighting so no problem? You just made the game 90% smaller - from a PvP player POV.

Respectfully, if players are rich from investing large amounts of time in world PvP'ing and looting chests in hostile areas then good. Money and reward is not hard to find anywhere in the game really and doing it from open world PvP should be made available. I don't agree with that perspective there.

So, back on October 18th Georg responded to a thread claiming BW has killed Open World PvP by saying:

I imagine the majority of people queuing up for instanced PvP if that's where the best rewards will be coming from.People will do what they like. If the majority likes to queue, then that's what they want to do.

Honestly, this reads a lot like 'OMG, there might be incentives for players to do what they like instead of what I like.'

If people prefer to do Warzones over open world PvP or vice versa, then that's their prerogative and we won't force them to do the other thing. As for where the best rewards are, you'll earn rewards by doing either.

The fact is, BW never killed Open World PvP - they never even allowed it to exist in the first place. You can't kill something that's non-existent.

I can guarantee you BW, that PvP servers aren't popular because the main form of pvp (or most popular in that community) is WZ's. Today on the Jung Ma server, there was a huge late-night battle between my guild and another republic one (Furious Angels) eventually, as fun as it was - my guildies just said screw it - mainly for the fact that no matter how well we did, NOTHING was rewarded. We had better things to do.

Let's recap:

No xp for open world kills.
No credits for open world kills.
No commendations for open world kills.
No valor xp for open world kills.
No unlockable titles for open world kills.
No listed amount of kills or assists for open world kills or any other form of recognition.

Georg, please clarify your statement and explain why the OP in that thread was wrong about saying you guys have truly gimped and under-appreciated Open World PvP.

'As to where there best rewards are, you'll earn rewards by doing either' is totally disingenuous and the fact is Georg, now that we're playing the game, we can tell.

Please add in this functionality asap, your pvp is hollow without it.

Man all that stuff u said can be exploited who's to say u have your friend roll a toon on other side meet u somewhere u and u just keep killing him for xp points and medals and so on if they did that would ruin the game.

Easy fix, you cannot create opposite faction characters on the same pvp server. However, they are a bit late on that thought.

Its not a problem for some players to buy a second account

Sad bad true lalaa , no rewards go cry QQ dude

My guild is already considering rerolling to republic on a different server. We're on prophecy of five and the server is so overrun with empire that it's nothing but huttball 90% of the time. In 4 days on Illum, i've only actually seen 6 republic players total. Who our side begged to swap objectives with to finish the quests.

As it is now, our pvp players are tired of the game and don't feel going past the free month has any point. We are all former dark age of camelot players who live on open world pvp. Tol borad lite with warhammer objective flipping is not anyone's idea of open world. We want competition but we're not going to bother to stay with the game for it's single player class storylines and huttball, because that's all I happen to see.
