Agreed, Please remove GvG for Vanarch from PvE servers. They are PvE for a reason.

PvE only means the PvP needs to be consented on both ends. Thats about it.

I'm quite happy with the integration of GvG in Vanarchy on PvE servers.

Let's face it: Elections suck. They're boring and practically useless, as it's always a popularity contest.

Same! Since I'm on the RP Server this will make it more interesting and add RP conflicts between guilds. Should be quite interesting! :D

I think you're overestimating the fun in this. It's going to be a gankfest by the large guilds on any smaller ones that dare try to compete for the GvG provinces.

And so long as that's opt-in (and it is), then they have nobody to blame but themselves.

I agree with the original poster, that this was a bad idea. I'm not one for complaining but when my guild had planned to run for Vanarch this term we were very surprised that the zone we had settled on was one labeled for GvG. At first we thought this might be a nice challenge then our Guild Leader found out that only level 40+ kills will count as points in the GvG Vanarch battle.

Honestly, to implement a GvG Vanarch zone but only count level 40+ kills towards the total points, is really defeating the purpose. Especially if the entire guild is forced to participate in the GvG battles. For a guild like ours who's main focus is RP, half our guild is under level 40. So those members that are too low to kill an actual level 40 are forced into PvPing on a PvE server, that will award 0 points to their guild's effort toward Vanarch.

If they want to have GvG zones for Vanarch and leave it as it is with only level 40+ kills counting then they should restrict it to the level 40+ zones. Other wise the 40+ needs to be changed so that everyone can obtain points for their kills. If it's an issue of the higher level farming the lower levels add in a 0 points policy for killing someone who's X amount of levels below your current one.

I tend to agree, and would be rather annoyed if Battlegrounds weren't featured on a PvE server.

However, Vanarchs effect other players. If Non-PvP'ers want to oust a PvP-decided Vanarch next election, they can only do so by entering into PvP, which is against their will.

This is very much like having a dungeon that is only accesible using tokens earned from PvP. Of course someone could say "Well, then just don't run that dungeon. No ones forcing you." But, being as it is a PvE dungeon on a PvE server, there is no reason someone should "have" to PvP to experience the content.

I agree. At best, maybe they could lower the amount of zones you have to fight for so less people would Q.Q about it, and that's still a maybe. `~`
If anything, this should encourage more people imho, at least it does for me. +shrugs

Exactly. What's more, the provinces that are specified GvG-only are those level-capped players access regularly. I simply don't see this ending well. :\
