Instanced PvP would really kill open-world PvP.

Originally by: Hirana Yoshida How do you reckon?
As much as I know the local forum warriors rage about it, Battlegrounds and Arenas killed open world PvP in WoW. Despite the way people act in EVE, most small and medium gangs are actually looking for the elusive 'goodfight'.

Sov warfare is a different beast entirely. Ironically, it's far closer to instanced pvp than anything else in this game: you have a time and date set, almost always have a good idea of opposing numbers and fleet comp, frequently opposing FCs are convoing each other with things like, "not going to leave pos in for another 5 mins, bio break" or "log off your titans and we'll jump in", etc.

Say what? There was open world PvP in WoW while I was playing? (left shortly after BGs came in). The only PvP I ever experienced was plain murders .. just like 100% lopsided ganks make up the vast majority of PvP in Eve.
I consider ganks to be pvp, yes. The unfairness (to varying degrees) of most engagements give EVE a unique flavor to me, or else I'd just hop on BC2 or any other number of games that offer balanced and fair PvP as a selling point.
Quote: Majority of Eve players don't dabble out of fear of potential loss and will thus never get to experience it (no, being insta-popped on gate X does not count).
Wouldn't use it myself, but being in the militia I see way too many people who have no clue at all due to never having been given a chance to even try it.
I don't see it as such a issue that we need instanced PvP to encourage them. Your average 'starter' or sov corp has a pretty decent SRP and that does a good job of getting otherwise bearish types into PvP.

If the underhanded nature of Eve PVP offends you, why would you play this game?
