"Oh stop with the victim attitude. PvP is completely fine and never causes any issues ever except in every MMO ever that allowed it proving otherwise."

- Typical Pro-PvP argument

Allow me to step in on the PvP bit:

First, there ARE some players that take things to far, but that's hardly exclusive to PvP. I contend once more that with PvE comprising a larger portion of the game's content and community, one could argue that PvE effectively has more toxicity than PvP does. But no one wants to be lumped into such a broad statement, I'm sure.

Second, the PvP community, at least til 3.5, was rather small, and for that reason, we were pretty close knit. Sure we had our rivalries and whatnot, but due to how small we were, and more importantly, a respect for each other and the competitive spirit of the content we enjoyed, we were pretty civil. I fell back in love with PvP as I began to feel the raiding scene became very impersonal (where it was no longer about being part of a good team, but cherry picking and throwing away people based on whether they could get the job done or not). I made friends, not just teammates. FRIENDS. People I talk to outside of matches. People I flirt and joke with. People I help in PvE content, and even play other games with now. Don't demonize PvP based on negative stereotypes.
