Reading the comments, I think much of the resistence to PvP is based on experiences with games that encourages (or at least did not discourage) PvP combat for it's own sake. I agree in that, while I would have no issue with my character being attacked by bandits with transporting valuable cargo, I would not enjoy a game where my character was in constant fear of being attacked by strangers while peacefully walking down the street. I don't see how a sandbox MMO can be sucessful if a character played as a psychopath on a continuing killing spree is able to prosper and advance faster than his victims.</p>
<p>GW seems to be considering ways, such reputation, to discourage PVP attacks that make no sense in the context of the game. If a bad reputation has enough of a negative effect on a character's ability to buy and sell, enter settlements, etc., a character that goes about attacking others without reason cannot prosper and may soon find it difficult to survive. I am hopeful the result will be a game that implements a nice balance that discourages irrational PvP without totally supressing rational PvP</p>I recognize that some level of PVP is essential to encourage interaction and make the game interesting.
