There is no competiveness in taking a gun and shoot down drivers on a highway.

There is no competiveness in killing an unarmed digger.

[...] I would not walk into a restaurant, a factory, or a garden, in RL and kill, injure, or even verbally abuse the people there, just because I can. [...]

I think these analogies - mentioned using different words many times over the years - are not accurate or fair. Please consider that Lands of Umbra is a designated PvP zone.

Highways are no PvP zone, actually every driver is taught that is is not when he gets his license.
Restaurants, gardens or factories are no PvP zones either. Actually there are laws and rules to prevent that kind of behavior.

The analogy is flawed in even more ways. There is no killing within ryzom. There is unconsciousness without permanent injury.

So.... lets imagine somewhat more similar to the situation (it's hard bc there are no sanctioned pvp zones in RL).

If you go to a middle east war zone and decide to dig some oil there on your own... i think you will be off a lot worse than getting unconscious without permanent injury. You cant go to some prize boxing tournament and complain that you get hit even if you only wanted the prize and not fight over it.

But it should be obvious by now that analogy to RL situations cannot be properly applied here because there is nothing really comparable in RL. Imo the only reason to do such comparison is to suggest that pvp players would be bad people in RL. And that's ridiculous. You won't go to a war zone in RL and dig out oil there. And pvp players don't go kill people in RL.
