FFA pvp isn't fun for the griefers without people to grief. This is why they're always trying to force people into pvp somehow.

This behaviour manifests in a lot of different contexts. Smokers are only 10-15% of the public but they used to own the bar scene, every single bar allowed smoking. Why? Because bars catered to the lowest common denominator: they knew the non-smokers would put up with smoking since it was the only game in town, you just couldn't go out otherwise. When the smoking bans came in, the minority could no longer abuse the majority to satisfy their addiction and they're still bitter about it.

Toxic people abuse the rules to force their behaviour and needs on the majority wherever they can, whether they're smokers or PvPers. It's the same mindset.

Normal players would never choose a pvp server willingly. The griefers would be left to themselves, and that's no fun.
