Pvp for pve is what's fun not pvp for pvp. If you enjoy being cock blocked by TMO and plat farmers from all content in the game then by all means keep on playing blue.

None of this actually applies to me. And are you really arguing that I am more likely to experience maximum PvE content on the PvP server than I am on the PvE server?
Right.
I don't hold this against all red players, but my only experience on red is being nuke spammed in newb zones by low level casters intent on griefing me because I didn't want to group with them (who groups at level 2 and 3?), and being followed by level 5-8ish melee with twohanders intent on preventing me from leveling. For hours. Sorry, didn't find that fun at all. I'm sure that's not the whole red experience by a long shot, but I think it illustrates the mentality most of us on blue are avoiding. Especially if we don't play enough to be a part of a decent PvP guild.
Ultimately, you're playing in an environment that is PvE. There are a virtually infinite number of gaming choices if I want to play in a PvP environment that are equal to or far better than EQ. The PvE experience and gameplay in EQ, although limited and "dead",
is ultimately the only thing "unique" about P99 - PvP is available through a ton of other media. So adding PvP to it actually doesn't change the fact that almost everyone here plays mostly based on PvE content and nostalgia. That's also why so many people don't give a crap about PvP. That's not what most people came here for.
And dammit, the game takes long enough in /played to progress in without having the PvP mentality (I don't care if I receive no benefit from killing you and possibly camping your corpse, I'm going to do it because I feel like it) adding to that. Even granted the xp bonus.
There's nothing to argue. You think PvP is better. Most people disagree. Neither are "right", it's just a preference.
