Out of the countless events I have run I have only run one PvP event and that was the toilet wars event. Everything else has either been a DoD or some kind of puzzle for the player base to solve.
You sir are ignorant and miss informed
At no point have I said we NEED this I am merely throwing in my 2 cents and wanting people to try and help me flesh out an idea better so that it works for both parties. None of you have even attempted with that you've just said you hate the idea and complained about it.
At no point did I ask "when was the last time Danda hosted a DoD?" Nor did I at any point suggest that the arenas were your doing or that the pvp tournaments were organized by you. You took personal offense when none was meant--that doesn't make me "ignorant or miss informed" at all. If you thought I was attacking you personally then I apologize for my poor wording.
I have no interest in making this idea work for both parties because it's clear the idea is really only meant to benefit one party. I'm not here to offer "constructive criticism" on this idea because I cannot imagine a scenario when offering pvpers the ability to have region access to a town for money would ever be good for people who enjoy the town building aspect of this game.
I (and others, apparently) are in this thread to offer the counter argument. Giving you constructive criticism would mean that we want it to work in some way---but we don't (at least I don't). I'd like you to know why I think this is a bad idea. Not because I hate it. Not because I just want to complain about. This idea is a bad one because having a town currently has meaning. There is an element of protection that a well designed town offers. Really, the only way to get any meaningful protection is via a well designed town. This idea would eliminate that.
Not that I expect you to know my post history but it's not like I post all the time just to complain about things. In fact, as anti-pvp as I am I can honestly say that I'm happy the pvpers got rated arenas. I'm happy that the skirmish function exists. I'm happy they get pvp events. I'm happy they got the Black Market (it's lack of use notwithstanding). I'll be happy when anything else that is strictly pvp related gets added for the benefit of the player base that enjoys such activities.
What I'm not at all happy about is a suggestion that wants to add more pvp to what is arguably the most significant non-pvp draw of the server---Herotowns.
