Not picking on any community .... asking a question as to what the community standard willl be. Unlike the position you have obviously taken, I have no wish to impose my style of play on anyone. If two consenting parties wanna do whatever they want, that's fine with me. We had a free for all on Ari at one point and what happened....2/3 of the population . entire guilds ... left game. I was one of them ..... came back to visit and things had changed.
The community itself decided that it wouldn't force PvP on anyone who was not interested in participating. It was not game mechanics, it was not rules, it was not a message that pops up on the screen. It was simply that the community decided that was best for itself as it brought many of the people who had left back into the game. Granted it also resulted in other people leaving game because, for reasons I am unable to fathom, some people are unhappy if they can't impose their style of play on others.
