Open World PvP

[linayar]

"The game has no meaningful pvp mode because it's not a pvp game" is a circular argument. Maybe let's avoid those?

That is not the argument I made in that post.

Premise 1: It is not a PvP-based MMO, but an MMO with PvP as a side content.
Premise 2: The devs want to make PvP even more attractive to casual players.
Conclusion: It does not need a PvP server. If the devs want to allow for open world PvP in the future, they can do so with opt-in mode without having to segregate the community into different worlds.

The op didn't say that playing in an open world environment where these things would be possible shouldn't be opt-in.

The OP didn't say it should either, and implied that it wouldn't be, and some people would reject it if so.

And now in their own words:

Hello, OP here. I really hadn't thought of opt in or out when I posted. Like I said I wanted discussion on the topic, and not to necessarily attempt to lay out a system.

Wait but you said; "Liking PvP doesn't make someone a bully. Enjoying picking on people weaker than them, does"

From what I could tell you never said anything about level. Though that is fair if you have other factors.

In an RPG, level usually denotes strength. Those who are lower level than you are usually weaker than you.
