    And it ends with PVP dedicated server, "niche" game or opt-in system... and people to complain there's no PVP anymore, to complain the game dying, to complain they can't bully, harass, gank or GK...

    FPS, Battle Royale or MOBA, you sign for PVP and the gameplay is build ONLY around PVP. As soon as you mix PVE and PVP and vertical progression, it turns to a mess.
    And in the Raiding community this doesn't happen? Give me a break already. Of course there is People getting vulgar in those type of contents, this is nothing new, there is always a few bad apples arround every tree.

    And to get one thing straight, killing another player in a PvP setting, even if it is repetitive, is by no means a attack on a personal level. If you constantly fail for the same jebait you only got yourself to blame for not being able to think arround the situation. It is the same as fighting a Boss character in PvE content, if you keep doing the same approach even trough you already got yourself killed by doing the exact same thing, all you can expect is that your character will get its fair share of beating.

    Also as said numerous times already, the Idea of OWPvP usually works on dedicated servers. If you dont like getting killed by player, because you enjoy your plotarmor too much, then noone will hold it aganist you for joining a PvE server.

    Because someone is doing something bad doesn't allow someone else to do the same "but he did it" as child react about being punished when he only imitate someone doing something bad or stupid.

    And killing a low level player in a low level area when you are ten or more levels higher has nothing to do with teaching or mentorship. It's bullying, harassment, one sided and cruel fun... and the reason why many people just don't play PVP MMO (but can play FPS, MOBA, Battle Royale, since.. at least in theory, it's a fair fight).

    Normality is just an average. I'm the weird, you're the bizarre.
