Stimulate people to flag for PVP for extra XP boost.

Just an idea. To stimulate open world pvp on non pvp servers...)

Just an idea: leave the non-pvp servers to the non-pvp players...

 

What about the other way round: everyone whop flaggs himself for pvp on a non-pvp server gets an xp drain as a punishment, just to stimulate those pvp'ers into pve? It's the same suggestion, just this time in favor of the pve-crowd.

 

I don't like pvp, I actually hate pvp, and I never ever want to participate in that BS. As long as you pvp'ers stick to your bunch, I'm OK with it, but this constant "let's force everyone else into pvp so we can gank noobs"-BS makes me wish all pvp content would be erased from the game, just so that people stop making these stupid suggestions.

Not every player is able to PVP. That is why they go to a PVE planet. PVP players are always going on how it is so much harder and thus better way to play. Then why on earth would you want to force someone who is not able to play at that level to do PVP? Does that not take away from the whole better and harder aspect of your chosen play style?

 

They have PVP planets that have PVE quests on them. That's right, you can go to a PVP planet and still do PVE quests.

 

I would rather have a system change that if a flagged PVP player hits PVE mob then they get to go sit in the bar for five minutes before they can flag again. Seem fair,.

Yeah, but, but....you do open-world PVE on PVP servers

 

Also, your content is being developed more than PvP.

 

Lets see, PvP:


  • Hypergate
  • Novare
  • Civil War
  • Voidstar
  • Huttball
  • Arena

 

That's 6 global concepts. There are 4 variants of arenas and two of huttball.

 

And PvE:

  • Eternity Vault
  • Karraga's Palace
  • Explosive Conflict
  • Terror From Beyond
  • Toborro's Coutyard
  • Scum and Villainy
  • Dread Fortress
  • Dread Palace
  • Ravagers
  • Temple of Sacrifice

 

That's 10. Not counting that you get SM and HM for all of them, plus NiM for most of them. (so close to 27)

 

Plus 26 flashpoints, with at least 18 of them doubled for Hard Mode.

 

For a grand pedantic total of 71 PVE 'things to do' versus only 10 PVP.

(or, actually, to be totally pedantic, over 100 considering world bosses, and Dreadtooth's 3 modes)

PS. Just an idea: how about each NPC kill drains experience from PvEers on PVP servers? And lets give the RPers on RP servers XP per letters typed, while we're at it.

I do nothing on pvp-servers, since I don't create any toons on those servers. I wouldn't join them if they'd be the last servers left. I'd rather stop playing this game at all than participate in pvp.

So what? As several others mentioned on several other threads on this topic, the pvp-playerbase is significant lower than the rest. Kind of natural that a company caters more to the majority of the players than to a minority. Sure, they could still do more... but why is the solution of "we don't get new pvp-maps" forcing/luring/bribing non-pvp'ers into pvp? I, for example, wouldn't join pvp under any circumstances (well, maybe if you pay me enough real-life money I might consider it, doing it like a "job"), since I don't enjoy it, I hate it. So, no matter how "big" the xp-boost (or whatever else you come upo with) might be, it won't make me a pvp-player. Same might be the case for many other players. And even if you succeed in bribing/luring some players into pvp, in how far does it help you? Having people there that a) don't know what to do, b) don't have the skills to get it done and c) arent' really interested in that playstyle and are just there for the "reward" propably won't do pvp any good. The only ones who will benefit from it are the gankers, those who enjoy going after lvl 40- toons with their lvl55+ toons, looking for the easy kill and the fun of harrassing others.

As I said, I don't play on pvp-servers. I'm fine with any addition that improves your gaming style on your servers, as long as I am not forced to play on those servers. But in return, I expect you to not mess with my gaming style on my servers. Noone forces you to roll toons on the pve-servers, so keep your suggestion how to improve pvp on them (a playstyle that these servers are not meant to support at all) for yourself.

WHY would we need this?! Its bad enough the PVP's that have invaded the PVE and RP servers FORCE their PVP Flag flu on people by jumping into everyone's AOE Healing or Mob control powers! keep your darn flag flu to yourself and stick to PVP servers where people PLAY for PVP!

We went through this during Gree. Post a link to a current video showing that untargeted AOEs cause flagging.

 

That said, suggestion is pointless. Nothing is going to make me flag. If I wanted to PvP, I'd play on a PvP server.
