Test PvP becoming less PvP

Its a notice nothing else heed it or not its up to you. But to act like she needs <b>your</b> 100% support to do this is ridiculous.J.C.

Hopefully, more folks will play on Test PVP after the change.  I've logged on several times recently and literally been the only evil online.

I'm tired of paying for a broken game.

Please stay on topic.  No matter how frustrating an aspect of the game can be, posting the same thing in many threads in multiple forums isn't the best way of seeking change.

If this thread continues on its current state of derailment, I'll remove posts and lock it at Kirstie's original announcement.Please, let's keep this to healthy discourse instead of fighting.  If a matter needs to be handled between two posters, the Private Messaging system is in place for that.  However, that is not a right to verbally abuse each other.

They're two different groups of people. Forum mods are not in charge of what happens in game or whether or not your class is ubar enough to just let you fight players like you fight mobs. Devs are the ones who "DONT RESPECT anyone but scouts and mass burst dps classes."

<span style="color: #00cc00;">Not being a PvPer I'm actually curious what this temporary change is? as for PvPer it will give them a chance to quest. <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> </span>
