Is that not exactly what feedback is? Or why they are constantly changing things based on feedback? 
Egads.
Feedback is good but your experiences in another game actually means nothing in NW, they have definitely received a lot of feedback with opposing views.
Also you are one voice among a few dozen on this forum, AGS have data from many hundreds of thousands of people that have played the game and the alpha and betas since conception and if the data disagrees with what you are saying I am sure they will make note of your request and continue to appease the majority.

Well, speaking of data. If you look up “new world pvp server” both in here, and on reddit. You will find that i am not one voice among a few dozen, but of thousands. I’m not going to suggest that i am in a majority, but there are many more of us than you probably realize.
On here and on reddit, I would check the names of posters and think you will find common names among most of the posts.
Look up New World Mounts and you will find nothing relevant except some rumours from 1+ years ago and yet there are people in these forums saying that it is confirmed and they will be coming soon (they wont as nothing has been said about them).
Actually it took two seconds to see that scot lane confirmed mounts will be coming, just not a definite timeline. (Also mount items have been datamined)
As far as us few dozens of people who want pvp servers you can rest well knowing that with so few of us you have nothing to worry about then i guess server wise 
The issue is …people who ask for pvp servers, they mostly do it because of issues they have with the current servers and think if they make it all pvp everything will be good, rainbows and sunshine:)
for example mounts was easier to get because players had a easy to understand goal/reason of what hey want.
They wanted mounts in game because the world is getting bigger and they want to travel faster but still explore the world, not just teleport around. Mounts don’t affect other system currently in game. It also helped they had some ideas before about this kind of implementation.
For them to open pvp servers a lot of people needs to agree what exactly they want and how would it work inside new world, not in other games.
if you go xxx games is better then new world because it has yyyyy system … nothing is going to happened
I am sure I said this.

Rumor = \ = Game director confirming with media team >.>
Well it was around or just before the launch of the game and coming up to its first anniversary and nothing has been said since, what is it if not a rumour?
I think in most of the PVP threads the most common theme is, high level zones should be flagged. Most of us would be happy with that change alone. The forts in white zones should be contestable, for gathering bonuses.
Personally, i think territory owners should be able to flag/unflag their territory and declare war on other companies that would make them red to each other no matter what.
It’s not an incredibly big ask, and most of us would be happy with these changes. Surely they could be fine tuned, but that’s what i would be happy with.
But even with all that, they could add “Additional white zones” that DID mimic this behavior. They could also add company flagging VS other companies on regular servers, and i would also be satisfied with this.
I don’t personally have to have a whole separate server to have these things, but it seems like just mentioning PVP centric changes tends to stir up a bee hive.
I mean, sure if scot didn’t personally say
“Yes, we will have mounts. Most likely when the map grows, it would make more sense. But yes, we will have them.”
Then i would call it a “rumor” i guess. But as it stands, since then mount items have also been data mined. As in after the fact, more recently. So it is something they are working toward.
So, it is “Confirmed” in the sense that scot said we will have them. I’d be more worried if there had been any contradicting statements since then, but there haven’t been. So i’m satisfied in waiting.
Because some heroes would camp the hell out of settlement exit door and even spirit shrines.
In theory, it would be a cool idea if you don’t count in how evil some ppl are.

So lets say they make a server like this:
- pvp in high level zones
- how to deal with one mega company just gatekeeping the zone?
- how will people that don’t have the time to grind day one get resources
- putting all players in the same zones would probably cause server issues
- small company of pvp players will have a hard time competing
- wars between company owners
- why you need a pvp server for this, this can be done in a normal setting
even in the end you said it yourself you dont need pvp servers you just need more systems for pvp in the current servers.
And that is the reason the developers do not go back there.
Because they already tried PvP servers and saw what a toxic cesspool they were. The Devs themselves said players were the reason they werent sticking to that path, players are incapable of controlling themselves

Fresh servers will always be a consistent niche while pvp servers have a chance to take over.
Too much appeal for certain players and content creators on pvp servers.
Tbf that was as a survival game with loot dropping and no limits. Not saying it would be different, but it would need to be tried to say for sure how bad of an idea it would actually be.
I simply don’t get the thought process from people arguing against this. You think it’s a bad idea? Fine, that’s your opinion and pure speculation. What happened years ago when the game was completely different with dropping your full loot upon death and stagger/stun lock still being a thing has no bearing on how a PvP only server would go now. It doesn’t affect you guys in any way. Why are you so worried on how it will go? Keep that concern for your PvX servers.
You can not guarantee the toxic behavior of a server will not spread to the entire community. The proof is our community.
Add a single pvp server and see how more toxic it will become.
You are going against social behavior and hoping for a utopia within pvp. A true pipedream

GW 2 is instanced pvp which tend to function different than open world, it was also very different on release than it is now, the commander title turned it into a zerg since players had a marker on the map to run to every time and follow
