Factions IS open world. People can PK you on a factioner, they go to towns on a factioner, I don't understand the separation of the two. Factions effects the open world, period.
CTF is the place for trammel lite pvp. Factions is the one bastion of hardcore pvp left, let's not trammelize it. To answer your initial question - yes, I prefer less frequent higher quality fights to having candyland fights on a nightly basis. As I said, CTF is for that.
Retracted I like Genocides idea (with a few modifications) but I'm not going to feed the conversation and get piled on so I removed the earlier contents of this post.
Then why even do factions if you start taking away incentives for fighting over sigils? This thread is no longer about incentives for factions, it's just more people asking for trammel.
Savage truth. I have to say I'm not sure wtf we are talking about here. Kane is right get aggy hammer, get silver, get sigil, bless a decent wep.....
Go bid on some more L7s to stay in Felucca. lol The fact that people are so afraid of dexxers not losing more than a sack of regs and a set of leathers is a pretty obvious tell that shit's broken. Keep on keepin on bros. FYI, I'm pretty sure Geno's PvPing more than anyone in this thread presently. hahahaha
I take advantage of what's given to me. I would just as soon see Lvl 7's go. If we got rid of ALL trammel, AMIBs, Lvl 7's, duel pits, CTF and what have you, I would be behind it 100%
hey look blaise is being a blowhard again I play a tank mage, I risk weapons just like you do. In fact, I risk more because I use spears and I'm not some retard with an axe. You are, once again, lobbying for risk-free PVP so you can run around two shotting people with valorite axes. CTF exists for that, I encourage you to go there. You already have baby mode, please don't shit up factions with your no risk bullshit.
Hey look, napo isn't actually talking shit about the shard for half a second. <redacted> My main dexxer is a fencer, sorry to burst your over-inflated ego bubble. I've lost more valuable weapons on this shard than you probably ever will. 2, 1 derp.
no doubt there, I don't die very often. I also don't use weapons that I'd feel bad about losing, I don't need valorite weapons to compete.
Oh, Blaise. In a manner typical of you, you have lost sight of what you were saying in one of your ceaseless attempts to talk shit. Accusing me of using meat shields actually reinforces what I was saying, which was the claim that I am better at mitigating the risk of dying than you. With this sentence, you have not only completely accepted my (true) assertion that as a tank mage I bear the same risk of losing a weapon that you do, but you have also reinforced my claim that I am better at mitigating that risk than you seem to be by suggesting that I use meat shields. While I would question both how often I really do use meat shields and the actual efficacy of my teammates as meat shields (they don't make very good ones for an assortment of reasons) I don't really think I'll argue much with this one since you're essentially agreeing with me.
