Ummm... Jesikrey... you know how many fellowships in this game are not "cut throat and so competitive that the game causes you stress?".... my guess is like 95%.
An inno team member, way back when this thread was created, assumed they were going to add pvp.
Did any of you know this when you signed on?
Did you ask the devs and the devs said "this is a pve only game and will stay that way" ?
I doubt it.
My point in bringing the initial thoughts on pvp way back when, and reading the few comments tonight... is that IF you don't want to be so competitive, you can always NOT be so competitive.
You don't HAVE to participate in an added pvp. There are lots of ways to make pvp optional.
My thing is what if they add a reward system to pvp... will people complain and say "you're basically forcing us to participate or be left behind in loot" ?
If so... what about FA's leaderboard and that loot only the best get? No complaints that I'm hearing. That is most definitely a form of PvP.
Seems pvp (a serious version of it not a tiny incidental version of it like in FA) could be done in a way it's only elective, and with a reward system, that like with FA leaderboard prizes, no one really should complain.
Though, judging from this forum the last few days, most certainly many would complain.
Reminds me of Guild Wars 2... "you need mounts" crowd... vs "if they ever introduce mounts i'll quit" crowd. Well they finally added mounts and guess what... life went on.
All PvP would do in this game, is add fun for many, and make certain people feel bad who barely do anything in a week because they'll be causing their fellowship to take a beating.
Sounds good to me.... sign me up !!!
