The PvP on PWI is exclusively for those who either have the time or real-life currency to afford it. When badges were introduced in the cash shop, you saw how quickly r8 and r9 were sold. Anything and anyone who wasn't at least a r8 character was quickly shunned (and that shunning got worse once the r9r3 came out). I left a r8 character on PWI to come here. I don't regret it. And yes, while I do partake in the PvP on EPW, I enjoy the PvE part of the game. Best part is...it's free.
If someone wanted pvp they joined pvp servers where pvp was forced right after lvl 30. People were pking with what they had. No one was crying about it, no one was really paying to get best gear right away (not counting a few tryhards wahah) and actually.. people were way nicer than pve players I've met.Buddy, nothing is free. Considering time is the ony thing that you really have in life.GMs are people, didn't ever treat them any different than other players. That gave me a few mutes and 4 perma bans (on the same acc), but who'd care c:
Well this thread went the wrong way quickly... Some people really need to let their frustrations out elsewhere
Ok I'll post one more time.The reason PW is so PvP focused is because of the cash shop. Where do people normally get rank gear? The easiest way, with money.
so on this server, where there is pvp required to get items/farm to better your character... but according to the 'Game Masters' of this server, this isn't a pvp based server. oh, ok. that makes perfect sense.
Huh?How are there PVP requirements?There are PVP options, but not requirements.I can't think of any part of the game that purely requires PVP to farm, with no alternative whatsoever.But okay.
Are you forgetting Nation Wars? Nightscream Isle? Mayhem in Morai event? Theater of Blood is heavily pk based, Sunset Valley, Weekly tournament, Other pvp events hosted by GMs in order to get event tokens? are you forgetting people use event tokens for warrior seals in order to get r8 reshapes? which usually requires doing pvp influenced events other than fire leigon and ares. Also the ec farming area which is outside safe zone that's a pk active territory. Majority of the server relies on events like said above to get the items they need for gear which is considered farming.Most ways to farm involve/require some sort of pvp regardless if some squad of assholes is trying to gank you or not.Edit: and yes, i am fully aware there are other methods of farming on this server in which doesn't involve leaving safe zone, but that doesn't mean a majority of them don't require pvp.
if somebody will play PW for the pve like 4 real the pve of pw is not even good at all... if you want a play with real pve go try L2 Tera ArcheAge what ever vindictus but pw for pve ? onli thing u need to do on pve here is sin wb or bm 3 spark basick attack 3 spark repeat.
To quote you: 'where there is pvp required to get items/farm to better your character'Nation wars - You can get ST from BH, God's giving quests, events (not just pvp)NS - Purely for EC which can be farmed in 100 other ways from Sunday, 90% of which are PVE.Morai event - Has a PVE option.Theatre of Blood - Not a necessary requirement for farming gearSunset Valley - Not a necessary requirement for farming gearWeekly tournament - Not a necessary requirement for farming gearPVP event - Not a necessary requirement for farming gearEvent tokens - Apart from pvp events, you can get them with ST, from PVE events such as ares, fire legion, boss events, morai event, fashion events, trivia events, forum events. Most of which could be repeated on alts, whereas PVP events couldnt be.Apart from NW which is undoubtably the most profitable way of farming ST and is PURELY PVP, all the other above methods, based on what you said, are not PVP requirements for gear or have a PVE option or alternative.They are simply just PVP methods of farming, which would be equally weighed with the PVE methods of farming, if not more so outweighed.Edit: And these methods were implemented, not to make us a purely PVP server, but to cater to all playstyles, which ranged from purely PVE to purely PVP to everywhere in between.It was done to keep everyone happy and to give everyone a preferred way of farming.
i swear it's like talking to a brick wall. we aren't talking about what events and things are and aren't required. if we were going to do that you might as well just say nothing on this damn server is necessary and to just cash shop your entire life savings away.
