Yuritau
No game mechanic will ever encourage me to PVP. Rather the opposite, game mechanics that emphasize PVP too strongly would likely drive me away from the game permanently.
Already the enjoyment of my favorite part of the game (digging in the Prime Roots) is ruined by the automatic and unavoidable PVP flag just for being there.
If PVP is made to affect the fame levels that I've spent hundreds of hours achieving, then I would lose all interest in ever risking it, to be honest.
No part of the PVP system in this game has EVER interested me in the slightest, and it never will.
And every time I come back to the game after an absence, I see discussions like this one in the forums, or in universe chat, and it ALWAYS makes me less interested in coming back.
Yuritau, it's perfectly okay not to like PVP. I also don't want you to be pressed into it either. I only got to know the roots as a PVP area or with Kitin patrols and accept it. There were other times back then. But in a game like Ryzom, standstill is a death warrant. Well then. Do you have any constructive suggestions on how PVP can be further developed without affecting other people's gameplay? Whining is one thing, but thinking about how to satisfy both parties so that a win-win situation can be created is another. Okay now it's your turn ;-)
