Heh that’s cute!
I wont bother trying to explain this to you because honestly it seems futile - here is a dev response on the idea and mentioning the same reasons I have above
Cheers my friends

I’ll repeat my previous explanation of why they should do it…
If these PVPers want more support in the game they have to start showing up for PVP focused updatess and changes. A PVP only server should be welcomed by them and a huge step forward. If they can’t show up for that,t hey don’t deserve any more consideration or development resources than they already get as a part of the whole pie of resources.

na just don’t you want the resources from our game allocated to what you say are a bunch of quitters who didn’t stay around, compared to the people who have been here all along who just want space for all to play. All these ask’s for fresh start or pvp servers atm are very selfish
That’s a pretty clear indicator that this game is not being developed with PvP in mind, because if it were, a PvP server would be a natural and easy thing to accommodate.

yea that’s not true go read the update there is know fresh start server and never will be. 0 of them
Nah they responded yesterday on forums
yea there makin more servers not fresh start ones and there response “was not exactly what ya want but take a look at this” was list of servers to be opened none are fresh start or pvp only.
Nah I’m not for fresh servers but you can see Luxendra posted yesterday and some twitter too from M.Lang

Correct.
This developer also mentions tailoring content to PvP only servers and how it would be separate from the “Majority of other players”
Quite a telling little tidbit there - Its really no surprise the game is moving towards a PvE focus.
Just a reminder: nothing has changed. Why are you back? Might as well leave again right now. You will do iit anyway in 2 weeks.
yea were getting more servers I’m happy since we need more space. we don’t need extra asks for anything else ATM glad you see this a lot don’t lol
Lol - Got some tunnel vision there, friend?
I think my previous posts are more than just “talking” but sure - I’ll refrain from using the forums for your benefit 
The one qualm with that is the same qualm I have where they called bow the “3rd worst” weapon without any sort of qualifying evidence. 3rd worst what? DPS weapon? PvP weapon? PvE weapon? Note: This was in June (I believe) well after the “BowPR” patch.
What dictates the “majority” of player’s preferences? Is it based on flagging? What about PvP-related activities like OPR? I can find 40 people looking for OPR faster than I can find a 5 man group for a dungeon. What about arena participation?
AGS has this really bad habit of using broad vocabulary paired with questionable data metrics to justify their decision making.

Very True, Halcyon.
except it would and the Devs themselves have already said they do not want to fuss with PvP servers many reasons. 1 of said reasons was splitting up the Dev team and resources because they will have to try and balance 2 different versions of the game. So yes it does effect the other 99% of the player base because it pulls resources from an already massively lacking game that needs atleast another year in the oven to leave EA/beta state

He is literal proof of the Devs original statement for changing direction of the game, players are toxic and incapable of moderating themselves.

Absolutely not. Here are 3 huge reasons why it won’t work
- People who fight others while they are farming, don’t want to have a fair fight. Same reason a lot of people only attack you when they have a clear advantage ( 2vs1, musket)
Imagine you want to Farm Magnetit or orichalcum. It won’t be “risky” to farm. It will end up that the bigger group will win and grief
- The open world pvp experience will still be poor.
No rewards, no big reason to do it. I mean, you could go and fight for forts, but there is no reason to fight for PvE bonus
- You will have hard problems finding groups for PvE content (you will have to do for Shards) if it isn’t the prime time, you will have real problems about finding players for it, since you can’t play with other faction members

Well said.
This is a bigger deal than I think most people realize. Your Gearscore grind just got SIGNIFICANTLY harder (on top of any challenges being flagged 24/7 bring), unless the devs make some drastic changes for the PvP server…which leads back to what I’ve been trying to point out in this thread.
Turning on a PvP only server isn’t as simple as it seems on the surface, and it will eventually lead to the PvPers on that server wanting (and possibly needing) their own “fork” of the game essentially.
Why people refuse to see or even acknowledge that possibility, baffles me.

If I fight you while you’re farming it’s because I want the materials you’re farming.
You can just change that to open world experience. Flagged or unflagged, it’s pretty dead.
That’s already the case, and you don’t need Mutators for shards. It’s not like PvE is difficult in the first place, it’s extremely easy. The hardest part of PvE in the current game is finding the group if you don’t have a regular group available.
Hell, the only reason I run mutators is for the unique PvE drops (collector habit). I can get an easy 4-6k shards per day just off gypsum, OPR, and PvP track. That’s easily 2 new maxed pieces every 3 days. Any new build I want for PvP can instantly be 625 with little effort and nothing outside of what I’m normally doing anyways.
You are absolutely right. In a dev video they told us already they are working at 4 (?) Different versions of the game right now.
- Live server version
- Fixed version
- PTR version
- PTR fixed Version
Something like that as i remember
Imagine, they would add 2 more versions they need to work on. They don’t have the ressources to do that. Otherwise we would play NW with way less bugs
And that’s another reason AGS won’t do pvp server
