How much content will a player who only wants to engage in PvE be able to experience compared to others who are more willing to fight other players? Will players be forced to fight each other in more lawless systems regardless of their preferences?asked by Renescent Angel
TL;DRThe PvE/PvP slider is a preference, not an absolute, so PvP can't be fully avoided; both player types get plenty of content, and lawless areas carry more danger of meeting players.
The slider is a constant topic of discussion on the forum. So yeah, the slider is a preference. It is not an absolute, so no matter how far you take that slider, you can never prevent PvP content.
Unless you're running your own server.
Well, if you're running your own server, then you can do whatever you want to some extent. So there will always be plenty of content for both types of players. It's not going to favor one over the other. We treat everything equally, or try to when we're building the game. But when you do get to lawless areas, there's certainly danger of you running into players. In more, shall we call, policed areas, even if someone were able to occasionally jump you when you've steered it away because you don't like PvP, they'd be constantly hunted and free targets for PvPers everywhere at that point.
