Please let us filter out PvP servers in the LFG tool

[Deleted]

Really sick of getting thrown on a PvP server when grouping up. I server transferred, paying money btw, to a PvE server for a reason.

[2about]

I'm not sure if this filters by PVE/PVP servers but iirc it does. Main function is to filter by US/BR/OC

I don't really care, gives a better option to find groups to not have a filter, besiddes, not going to be a murder over it.

Yes, this would be great. There currently is no way what so ever to know if you end up on a PvP server. Except memorizing the realm list of course...

Trying to force PVP - is one of the reasons, why I hate Holinka. He just can't leave PVEers alone - he just has to try to force "accidental" PVP here and there. Why he still refuses to understand, that players pick PVE servers for reason? PVE servers should mean "No PVP without my permission". NO PVP. Including so called "accidental PVP", i.e. when PVE PLAYER on PVE SERVER has to be AWARE OF POSSIBLE PVP. What a hell? I play on CORRECT TYPE OF SERVER. Why should I be aware of activity, that SHOULDN'T EVEN HAPPEN on this type of server, cuz players DELIBERATELY pick this kind of server specifically to AVOID this kind of activity? And some players even PAY MONEY for transfers. For example I paid for transfer of 3 characters back in Cata. Like it's not enough, that PVPers have their dedicated PVP servers and if player complains about rules on PVP servers, he is told to go transfer to PVE servers - PVPers also have more rights on PVE servers too? Go to hell, Blizzard.

Forced PVP - is one of the reasons, why I haven't bought Legion and even considered switching to GW2 at some point in the past.

Way to show you are a hater. Not that we could know being here long enough.

If you get thrown on a pvp-server just leave the group and everything is ok. No problem at all. Nothing Blizz needs to fix.
What else could you call forced pvp? A yes the pvp world quest. Well the say pvp on the sleve so why do them if you don´t want to pvp? If you do none the less it´s definitely not forced but chosen.

I am annoyed by pvp servers too from time to time. But either i stick through it because i want the quest done or i leave when i am not in the mood for pvp. It really is just that easy.

I've never had anyone do actual PvP when I joined a group located on a PvP server. They are all focused on the objectives.

The filter would be voluntary, like the language ones, so it doesn't hurt anybody else.

[Puri]

I don't see this as a problem, I never have been attacked once on a PVP server when joining a group for a world quest.
And they even removed the 5 minute grace PVP period when rejoining a PVE server with 7.2, so when you join a group on a PVP server you can instantly drop the group and are no longer flagged for PVP.
So although I don't consider it a major issue I agree it would be nice to add an option if it can easily be implemented. Considering the change above, I think they already are aware of this issue and implementing a real filter would cause more work than they want to invest, and so made that band-aid fix.

I rarely, if ever do PvP in Legion. Especially now that I have flying I would go as far as saying I will NEVER get ganked again, only if doing pvp world quest or my shadow meld (Im a druid ) is on CD and I really get zerged...but lol so rare.

There is no forced pvp on pve servers, unless you walk into pvp areas - but it gives you 20 seconds to get out before you get a target, so its really your own fault if you don't listen to the game (and even in those areas like the pvp towers, there is rarely actual pvp going on in the first place - only the arenas really have PvP, and you don't fall into the black rook or drogbar arena "by accident").

I was never forced once to do PvP when I didn't want to. But how would you know? You don't even own Legion. The door is that way.

beside the op, what wowisdead is describing is the general design of wow legion, i play on a pve server i'm forced to go into the dalaran sewer for profession quests that is bad design and blizzard refused to disable sewer pvp from pve server or make the flagging switch mechanic rule over everything else.
On pve servers nothing should flag you unless the switch is enabled or you zone into an opposite faction capital.

This sadly shows how uninformed you are.
There is no "forced PvP" on pvE servers. I am playing on a PvE Server, and the only time PvP happens to me is when I deliberately choose to do it. I really don#t see how you get the idea that there is "forced PvP" in legion?

You still need to accept duels. You still need to queue for BGs and Arenas. You still need to enable PvP to do anything in the open world. The PvP World Quest areas have big warning and 10 second grace periods which are more then enough to GTFO if you don't want to PvP.
Dalaran Underbelly has guards that can be summoned or bodyguards that cost 5g per 5 minutes.

And thats all sources of PvP that are in he game, and all of them require you to deliberately seek out PvP.

The only way to get into PvP that isn't straight-forward is hopping onto a PvP realm, and that is what this thread is about, marking PvP realms in the group finder better (or even allow filtering). You can drop the group as soon as you realize its a PvP server, so this is only a mild inconvenience.

So I really dont get your rambling about "forced pvp". If you don't want to PvP, don't. Don't queue for arena or BGs, don't go to the WPvP WQs, stay out of dalaran underbelly when the guards are away or buy a bodyguard. Its as simple as that. No one forces PvP onto you.

Buy bodyguard for 5g, problem solved. No PvP for you when you have the bodyguard active. You can do your profession quests completely PvP free, no matter if the guards are there or not. You just need to buy a friggin bodyguard.

no the bodyguard can be disabled by anyone by paying 50 eye, and why i need to buy bodyguard to begin with? I play on a pve server for a reason, you guys switch to a pvp server if you like it so much.

The bodyguard keeps you safe and unflagged even if someone pays to make the whole area ffa for its duration. I know this as a fact, as I've spent much time fishing up eyes in Underbelly with dozens of people slaughtering each other all around me perfectly safe.

Just leave after joining if it flags you and remember the realm name, then look for another server not on that realm.

Even there you can bribe a guard to escort you to disable the pvp part. So an optiion exists to avoid pvp. Not directly visible but it is there. And yes even I cursed while doing the obliterum quest line because i didn´t know at that time. But if you want the reward you do it and it is one small part of the game where you could call it forced pvp. One questline or maybe 2 if you have a profession that sends you there. But as far as I remember you don´t need to go there for pvp for the professions.

Paying for the guards to take a break doesn't affect bodyguards. It simply flags the whole area as a PvP zone. Players with a bodyguard are still safe.

They changed it with 7.1, the bodyguard will last the full duration no matter if someone deactivates the guards.
