In the instant someone chooses "PVP server" (in place of PVE server), he's formally saying he's a PvPer; experienced or not, skilled or not, rich and geared or not.
He's still stating he's a PvPer.

That's simply not true.  I agree with a lot of what you say, Licinio, but this is wrong.  A lot of players want to play their game in a more subdued fashion with some of the excitement of a PVP server.  The PVE server is painfully boring.  There is a large percentage of players who accept the RISK of the PVP server, but they are not by definition PVP'ers.  If im doing a trade run in OW and I get jumped, that's an acceptable risk.  Im usually armed and/or escorted and there will be a chase/fight/gank, whatever.  Clubbing everything that moves in what should be a relatively safe area (for anyone who wants to be safe), is not helping the game.  Yes, it was done before with other OP ships.  That doesn't make it any more acceptable now.

Me? I simply got a mix of upset and fun looking to such level of whining for some requins killing a bunch of brits.

So much whining I NEVER saw in the past when balancing issue were far bigger sometimes.

You are not upset. You are delighted by the attention 😎

Make no mistakes, i really like having a xebec rig in the game. But mine is nowhere near a safe zone. It is well within a trade routes area. Doing what she does best. Lending risk to the reward.

Fair winds.

Thank you mate. Indeed I wrote "formally saying" not randomly.
Nothing bans nobody to open an outpost in some god forgotten place well afar from capitol areas and there trade/farm almost undisturbed for days.

And... ESPECIALLY: there's a bunch of top ranks using "safezone" as an easy way to farm gazillions with limited risk.

Not delighted. I give almost nothing of others' opinion.
It's fun that to get some reply (even if not very meaningful sometimes) someone needs first to enter the leaderboard for a few week and/or has to become a nemesis for a nation.

I know (my good contacts with brits) that some crafting goods have prices going far higher than usual... due to disrupted trade in KPR area. There's plenty trade routes around Jamaica ports.

I don't object to experienced players staying in the green.  If that's how they want to play, fine.  I'm hoping the Devs will be making it more attractive to leave the green for trade as well as crafting.  I believe that is the way to encourage players to venture forth in OW.  Some will always play the safest...so let them.  Chance encounters (or well planned ambushes) in OW is where the PVP should be found.

It isn't just you though, issue is everyone is farming KPR and US coast.

Not a big issue for me as hardly go to K(killing ground)PR, but watch day after day as new guys quit.

So after KPR has nobody to farm then who next French, Swedes, Danes until they also are dead nations?

 

Go ahead,  I'll join in lets stop anyone starting the game lasting more than 3 hours.

Multinational Req teams 25 strong pasting the crap out of the other nation until is dead, then we go round rest of nations and do same.

I can't wait a server with people left who refuse to fight each other, will be a blast we don't need a higher server pop.

Just make the safe zones 100% safe.

Make them smaller.

No attacking home nation at all in zones.

Limit the resources in the zones.

Simple. Job done.

No leave them as they are.

Twenty of us have just bought req's to clear the servers of useless PVE players and new guys.

who needs them anyway?

A storm is coming, time for these useless RA players to go play Eve Online.

Don't get so emotional Dibbs. 

It's just a small problem with the game that will get fixed. Just like the many over the last 3 years.

Stay humorous it suits you better.😁

No don't fix it I am sold by the gankers.

LET'S DO THIS!!!!!

20 Req's signed up need another 20 or so and we are green for go.

Lets get this server pop down to 2 digits.

 

Man i am sooooo stoked.

 

Are you in Crow or are you one of those plastic liberal gankers?

Go big or go play Eve.

No man, Ganking all the new guys is less risk.

Req's are the answer, no more useless players on server in matter of days...  it's genious.

Thanks to those who showed me the way,  this is almost like having a religious moment.

because its the only thing we can do in this game. there is no one that wants to fight. 

BS the other night US was screened out of the Danish port battle before they even got close by French, Pirates and Prussians.  We see it almost every time we try something, three or more nations screening us out of a fight when they don't even try to fight each other.  France has one of the largest RvR/PvP force in your time zones.....if you don't got folks to fight than go to anther nation and fight those in your own. I'm sure there isn't much love between WO and UWS?   That or stop screening for other nations and kill them too.  

@Lovec1990 summed it up, ya'll don't want to fight equal fair fights, you want to bash the underdog cause it means you will almost always win.  

Also instead of econ killing a nation by locking them out of all there good crafting ports you ever thought about giving ports back to let a nation grow and gain some moral and fight back?

Becouse most PvP players do not want too fight person with equal skill they want to get easy kill so they can ego trip while they are on leaderboard.

I mean why not do it the easy way, hell I don't even want to know how many PvP marks some of these guys have from all the farming they do of capitals.
