I do agree that forced pvp is bollix…if you want to play hello kitty with swords… ok..amen to that. No one should make you fight. buttttt
Its sickening to see that players avoid pvp as much as they do. Its as if they've forgotten the whole premise of the game is to kill the enemy and are simply afraid.
You are free to hide in a pve realm, and avoid fighting for your faction but there are rules even in the cushy pve world that should be kept such as tagging opposing faction npc's and participating in world pvp by any means. Its a valuable lesson people learn once or twice. Campers and griefers are an annoyance to the overall game players experience no doubt but can be easily avoided by alert players made keen by actually fighting the real enemy instead of loot pinatas.
