can you just not?
im sorry you got with a buncha other psychopathic predators in your youth and preyed upon randos that couldnt fight back but those days are done
and now that your nerves are deadened from your advanced age you dont have the reflexes to compete with kids from two or three generations newer than your own and you stray away from the newer games designed for player versus player content.

you shake your bottle of pills and complain but only to push back the thoughts that you became the prey

I can't speak for everyone, but I left BLUE for RED just so that camp claims/disputes would be fewer. I didn't even PvP, I just gated out. But the camps were open to be played instead of waiting in a queue.

Also the raid strats for small man crews were pretty nifty to see. The zergs you see on Blue are just uninteresting. Not everyone on RED was after PvP, lots of folks were just chilling and helping like on every other server.

When we DID die to PvP on Red, we got a rez about 30% of the time immediately and almost ALWAYS got feedback from the player on what we could have done better, those who like PvP don't want useless PvP'ers like me. I had a guy once give me the full rundown on the spell order I should be using for PvP as a necro, it was pretty enlightening.

Are there griefers? Yep, but the same can be said of any server we have here. I really only found 1 griefer on RED (Brickhouse in MM was a deleveled 60 with an anklesmasher). Everyone else wasn't griefing, although I swear Tomacco took pride in trying to find my groups.
