What EQ PvP is about

Only with the game as it is. PvP is not at all boring when implemented such that the game is actually built for it. If there were leaderboards and more incentives for PvPing and combat was interesting, then many people would want to do nothing but PvP.

How is a leader-board more incentive than rights to a camp or a raid mob?

I guess to me the leader-board thing is just silly. It's a spread-sheet. Who wants to be king of the spread-sheet? Furthermore, if you don't find the combat "interesting" you are probably just playing the wrong game.

Its sounds like you're looking for a WoW or swtor. Something that doesn't have the open world pvp that EQ offers, with 100% contestable content. This is classic EQ. You shouldn't have to manufacture reasons to PvP, when they're already built into the game. I understand the desire to have the server thrive hard, but at what cost? If the end result is a compromised EQ, people who actually like the game are going to feel short changed.
