As a PvE player with ZERO interest in PvP, I would totally be happy if hardcore PvP’ers got their own servers. 100 percent. I’m all for it. There are so many people playing the game now that I think any balance issues could be easily worked out.
I see quite a few posts from hardcore PvP’ers wanting to force PvE players by varying means…all PvP maps, etc…to PvP. The game allows for both types of players to play how they want with an easy to use flagging system. However, hardcore PvP players never seem to be happy that others aren’t joining in PvP play, and want the dev’s to force them to, even though they have absolutely no desire to do so. I see this same self-centered argument over & over again, just stated differently, across the forums. Any validity these topics have, would be gone, since said player(s) could transfer to newly created PvP servers if they are not happy with how PvP is being implemented on standard servers in the current actual hybrid game that we have today vs. the mythical PvP version that was the possible game two years ago, one year ago, etc…
To answer a continual misconception I see in responses to this type of post, I’ll say right now that PvEer’s such a myself are NOT scared of PvP, we just don’t like to spend our gaming hours doing this type of play. Just in my small company alone, there are a few of us who are former infantry irl, and to think your little fake pixels shooting at us are scaring us or deterring us from that sort of gameplay is, in point of fact, utter nonsense. We would just rather run dungeons, raids, craft, harvest, fish, or RP while talking with our other buddies about the day or whatever over Discord, etc… We do not care one little bit about your PvP world, and have no desire to be involved in it. Zero. We do enjoy our world quite a bit, though. So, stay the hell in your lane, and stop trying to mess up other peoples’ game play enjoyment for the sake of your fragile egos.
It would honestly be great and no worries to me at all if hardcore PvP’ers had servers where they could play however they wanted, and, then, the rest of us could finally stop listening to the relentless whining from this part of the PvP community. I totally get that it’s not the entire PvP community, but a certain subset. You could PK other people all day long, and then complain about PvP scaling when you get Pk’d! You could complain about the imbalance of certain weapons that someone had when they killed you, and argue how your own OP weapon is actually not OP! You could argue over “the meta,” and force yourselves into cookie cutter builds in the hopes you kill the other dude/dudette in one of the other meta’s! Then, you could collectively gripe when the meta changes. You could get into groups for open world PvP with your buddies and jump single players all day long, and congratulate each other on how great of PvPer’s you all are! Then, the next day you could post a giant rant in the forums about unfairness after you’re out harvesting & you get jumped by a group of PvPer’s out doing the same thing. The one dev they assigned for this crapo job could focus on constantly implementing those weapon & gear changes to only your servers that you consistently clamor for to make yourself a truly competitive PvP player, even though truly good PvPers could probably kill the majority of you with a broken level 1 wooden spoon they found in a supply crate on the noobie beach! You know the one…it’s by that pirate that is passed out! Then, the rest of the community wouldn’t have to deal with those constant changes to perfectly good weapons & gear on our servers. You could spend a ton of the time you could be out PvPing harvesting, leveling crafts, and crafting your own gear & consumables without any PvE crafting support.
After all that fun, when your servers become wastelands, as quite a bit of actual data shows about purely PvP multiplayer games, you would NOT be allowed to transfer back to standard servers; because, we definitely don’t want to have to listen to the cycle of whining start all over again, as you leech off these healthy servers while at the same time bemoaning the universal glory of full loot, full destruction, full ego, full of shit, hardcore PvP servers. Most of you will never have to deal with that outcome though, because, according to a number of other forum posts, you are quitting today, tomorrow, or when the next new shiny toy pops up in Steam anyway 
So, yes Dev’s please do us all a favor, and make purely hardcore PvP servers with NO option for those accounts that transfer to said servers to ever come back to standard servers.
