seriously, fuck PvP.

That's the absolute largest downside to Warcraft in my opinion, is the world PvP they've got going on over there. You cant even turn the shit off, cause it just turns itself back on when you enter certain areas. I cant even explain the amount of time I've wasted porting into an area while questing only to be ganked by like 6 other players and have to spend the next five minutes finding my corpse. It's retarded on all levels.

Now, if you could completely turn off PvP, that'd be a different story. You cant attack other players, and they cant attack you. Grats on being able to go about your PvE business without interruption. Oh right... FFXI totally did that by making PvP zone specific. God I love this game.

Now I guess there are enough people interested in PvP that working changes into the system could be beneficial. I really liked the idea of Ballista, and the idea of nation versus nation PvP for conquest control over zones. It'd be cool to have a reason to participate in team oriented PvP. But it definitely needs to be something you choose to do, rather than something that can just happen to you.
