As a person who enjoys both RP and PVP, I second that. And PVP, just like RP, can only be interesting when the people in front of you are playing the same game, with you.
Aniro may (or may not, I have no way to compare) have been more pvp oriented than other servers, but that doesn't mean you couldn't go into PR withou getting shot, far from it. Whe had a famous bandit at some point that used to ransom harvester in PR (an extremist follower of the Kami), he had a hard time playing that role but still did for the fun of it. Otherwise, most PVP in PR used to take place at the change of season, and even then not all the time (I know many people who used to go alone without bodyguards and always managed to harvest sup mats). Still, it made fighters usefull as an escort for harvesters, which made for great guild activities (I was such a fighter non harvester). But I understand not everybody would enjoy it, all right.
