3:30 in the video, I agree with alot of statements, however removing a large portion of our player base and telling them just to go to another server is NOT a solution in my eyes.
1. You can ask for RP default if you want... Just ask.
2. If they are doing few lines of rp BAN REPORT IT! The point of PVP default is not to remove roleplay it is too decide issues in a much quicker way IE. Elf attacks elf Even fight. so we let them PVP instead of emoteing back and forth untill one quits or another powergames.
Now i know what your saying "Then a halfling could just click an orc and win" Whether you like it or not PVP does require some skill this is why many orcs are very good in 1v1's we practice ALOT and its our roleplay you cant exactly practice emoteing a entire klomp it just isnt the same training. Anyways back to the main point of Halfling beating a orc. Why is it that PVP is the only thing that everyone has decided doesnt take any irl skill. If i want to be a builder INGAME i need to be a decent builder behind the screen not everyone can just pick of the mouse and build an amazing build just as they cant pick up the mouse and expect to be an expert swordsmen all because they can emote and outlast someone in a bicker fest.
3. Too the people wanting a dice system. Now i could very easily say "This isnt the server for you please leave" but im not going to. And you know i respect that system it works great in DND but the fact of the matter is i dont find it that thrilling as rolling a dice in DND. when i roll a dice in MC i never feel like its pure luck, its just the machine generating a number based on a predetermined algorithm. Where as in real life "Luck" feels like its an actual factor. And currently many occupations in lotc are not luck based so why should pvp be? A merchant doesn't put a shop out in the middle of nowhere he uses his knowledge of the activity of a road and the supply/demand of an area and looks for a spot to set up the shop hopeing that he will make a large amount of mina's. No real luck involved.
4. anyways this is just my opinion ((Dont hate me :( ))
