I find this strategy interesting, but too complicated. I don't see, for example, why there's a need to have an option for 3 options, typically in OW people would want to either be flagged for PvP or not- if that option is offered. You wouldn't want someone to be able to change the flag too frequently, not while they are involved in PVP.

I also don't see why you would block someone flagged from PvP from PvE. First of all, their PvP bars still have skills that are usable in PvE, and secondly, that is likely going to be a way to incentivize OW PVP- provide reasons to PvE, which would draw PvPers (who could only attack flagged players).

All of that is theoretical anyways, it's not a small request.
Too complicated? This was working in an MMO in the early 2Ks including a player city system and advanced decoration system.

So no, not really that difficult, it is a small request you pick your side from the 3 original citystates, the pvp part itself is more player made... as long as you are in Special Ops mode you will be attacked by NPCs at other citystates than your own, and it wont be pretty.
