Understood.
You aren't going to find many if any people who know more about making it easier on staff to administer pvp policies.
I am merely advocating a no-nonsense, pvp-centric common sense approach.
The more rules you make, the more you will hate GMing, or the more you will shit on the GM's and the more the population will hate you/them. I fully believe that if you are being honest with yourself, you already know this if only from experience. You really need to streamline this anti-pvp on a pvp server nonsense, and cut it to a minimum, or better yet, cut it out altogether for the enjoyment of all.
The more players find themselves in situations where you have tied their hands and refused to give them a chance to resolve their issues under their own power, the more unhappy your playerbase will become. Guess who's number they will be dialing when they all finally figure this out? I'll give you a hint - Not mine. Heres another clue: what do you think the players will do when they find themselves in a situation where you have refused to let them pvp out of it? Take a ride on Reading Railroad. If you pass go, collect $200. I am assuming you are wise enough to already know all of this. Is your intention to allow training? If not... well you might want to rethink.
The players who are advocating any different are confused and do not even understand the consequences of their advocacy. If you look closely at who they are, they are obscure no-names from yesteryear who have wrongly believed all these years that they had any real effect either way on their servers.
I was right when i told you to get rid of anti-pvp rules on VZTZ and of course I am right again now.
If you are as qualified as you would like for us to believe, I shouldn't have to explain any of this to you. You should already know it.
You can continue to wrongly meddle in pvp affairs, but you will not be the only one to pay the price.
And yes, let's be clear. I am excited about your sever, and if allowed, I will play. At least until it becomes clear that it isn't a pvp server, and I will begin to look for the real pvp server like everyone else.
