Will this game ever get open world pvp?

[Dewslam]

No, open world PVP is the nadir of MMO gaming.

Just imagine ganking people that are viewing cutscenes or in a gatherer spec.

I know it would probably be a mess but funny nonetheless. Maybe a special pvp server?

No.

well, in some games, all's fair since that's what "open world" means.

To prvent that, basically you:

1- travel with friends

2- practise your PVP skills

3- develop good situational awareness

4- Get geared

Pick any combination of the above, depending upon your skills and preferences.

I guess i just find it outdated?
But thats just me.

I prefer having the choise to take part in open world pvp than be forced to it.

The fraction of people with intention your described is so small while majority of these self-proclaimed "World PvPers" comes with ill intentions.
They are just player killers.
World PvP only works at instance where Horde attack Alliance capital (vice versa) will lead to some fun fights, most of them, is opposite of what you are describing.

That depends. On Steamwheedle Cartel Horde side we just watched them kill the war chief and did nothing.

Open world pvp is dead in most MMOs. WoW doesn't even do it any more.

WOW is---------------> That way.

Open pvp is YOUR fun at someone elses expense. A FLAT NO.

Feel like every thread that proposes open world pvp is actually some kind of scheme to see who can farm the most thumbs up by finding the snarkiest way to say no.

Askin that type of stuff in a strongly PvE based community...what do ppl expect again?
I could just turn the tables and say "Yadda yadda...the snarkiest way to say yes." without lying.

Whats with all the posts wanting to WoWify the game lately? There is a game for that kind of stuff. It's called WoW. They ain't doing so great.
