We need PVE servers here's why

True, and I did go quite a bit into the woods with that comment, but it's mainly because I usually see that phrase from the people that haven't even heard of L2 (outside of maybe Steven mentioning it), so they have 0 concept of how this kind of flagging system can even operate. And the only thing they see is "omg I can be killed in the open world! That sounds like that one time when a horde char killed me while I was picking flowers and it made me quit WoW! If Ashes keeps this system - IT'S GONNA FUCKING DIE!!!"

And that gets annoying when I know for sure that a veeery similar system works great and PKing doesn't happen all that often. And Steven has already made changes that will decrease the number of PKs even more. So my only logical conclusion from this experience and observation of said changes is that AoC's system will be even more casual friendly than L2's already were.

Now I'm not saying that you're one of the people who says that kind of shit, but it's been a long day/week/4 months for me, so that was just a bit of unneeded venting triggered by an annoying phrase
