That is what I mean by these threads jumping before the horse is released and causing aggro where no real decision has been released to say what system is coming out. THe point has been raised and as much as FD read and take argumens onboard, they take the suggestion and work through their own arguments. So wether your point is well made and could sway an argument, ultimately they could just ignore it.
Well, if FD does not flat out say that they WILL make PvP voluntary I am going to assume they are not doing so.
And I will speak against it.
It is not big task for them to come out and say "We are going to make game with equal PvP and PvE content, you can choose which group you belong to"
And that's it. They do not need to tell HOW they implement it, as long as they guarantee it is there.
I do not suggest these threads are useless, not at all but the aggro caused to people is most definately not required.
Perhaps you should direct your attention towards PvP group, who keep parading how there MUST be only full PvP or private servers.
I want them to pull the same rope, demand freedom to choose PvE or PvP, and that is done by explaining to them why vast number of people do not want forced PvP. I would support their position of wanting PvP if tables were turned, because I would lose nothing.
Oh, and I want PvP people stop assuming that if only PvE-people were introduced to the wonders that is PvP all PvE-players would ditch that E and go for P. Being condescending and saying we do not know what we actually want.
That attitude annoys me very much.
I am confident PVP PVE concepts are known to the FD team, Im sure they have their own plans and now are very aware of the topic.
And yet refuse to come out and tell that either they want Eve Online v2 or they will implement PvP-toggle... All they have to say is that either
"All but private WILL be full PvP" or "There will be way to turn off PvP while having all other stuff there".
The only thing we all need to be aware of is that none of us will get a cake and be able to eat it all without sharing and what am I saying? Oh yes...
Except here we can all have what we wanted. PvP people can have their PvP world and PvE people can have their PvE world. All it takes is splitting and renaming group "All" into "PvP" and "PvE".
Both get what they want.
