I started playing MMO's with EQ and have probably played 75% of them. As a rule I never ever ever PVP...except one time.

I really liked Warsong Gulch in WoW. Why is that? I hate open world PVP, I despise ganking, I'm the biggest carebear in like ever but for some reason I couldn't tear myself away from Warsong.

Why? I'm not sure. But for me, that REALLY worked.

Another well reasoned and thought out argument to place a "Go back to WoW" button in the esc menu.

Maybe it's an explanation why he doesn't like Eve? I'm not sure.

Fried, boiled, roasted, sautéed or mashed? Sweet potato is also good.

I'd think the angle is obvious: if a large chunk of Eve's players aren't PVPing, why not? What can you do to get them to do so?

What was it about Warsong that successfully GOT me to PVP and how can that be applied here?

Virtually everybody that plays Eve PvPs in one form or another, even if they believe otherwise.

But you had to try WSG to know you liked it. So why not try PvP in other games too?

I liked the PvP battlegrounds too, but I liked PvP servers as well, people like to knock WoW and I would never play it now, but back in the day, it was the perfect game at the perfect time, which is why it was so hugely popular, and I made friends on that game that I actually still talk to, for now, for me- I appreciate the emergent gameplay of a game like EvE, but i'm not one of these people who refuses to acknowledge the hundreds of hours of enjoyment from a game just because it's old hat and tired now. But for the OP, I urge you to try some spaceship PvP, it. is. fun.

I've always liked games where you just bash people, tekken, goldeneye, a game has to be super memorable like FF7 or metal gear solid or fallout to be a game I'll play by myself because games have always been about establishing superiority in my mind, if there's no one around to bash, i just feel lonely. People are afriad of nothing, what is so terrible about losing ISK? It won't exist in the future, everything you have on the game will be gone then anyway, you should treat yourself to some fun while you can OP.

Now that's a good idea. I'm a nub so I'll take my nub cormorant a couple systems over into lowsec. If only there were a way to predict what would happen to me?

Trying to avoid PvP in Eve is already PvP'ing.
And it's, imo, a perfectly valid form of PvP and playing. Nothing has to be done to make people like that do different forms of PvP on their own, if they don't want to.

I dont...

Why do you want to convince people to do something they dont want to do?

Or than you have no wish to do yourself for that matter?

How would it be different from being owned going into WSG because you don't know what's going on yet?

Because in WSG all players were around my level, all had similar gear, and no player vastly outclassed or out geared anyone else. You had a chance. I feel if I stick my head into lowsec or 0.0, I will have no chance.
