    PvE Dark Zone

    Now I see the posts asking Massive to basically make a separate DZ server where PvP is not an option and I look at the obvious PvPer's in the game down vote it. They state things like "it will split the community" well, that's already happened if you haven't read the forum posts in quite some time. Then I read some half *** attempt to justify not having one, which frankly are just juvenile and poorly thought out. Now I did see a post that I believe and I'm 100% sure I'm right on why PvPer's do not want to see a PvE only DZ emerge. Basically if the PvE players stop going in to the DZ "Which I think has already begun in record numbers" PvPer's will have to play against, gasp, PvPer's! There will be no more lambs to the slaughter, no dear to hunt and no way for them to stroke their internet *****.

    How can I say this with certainty you ask me, well, If any of you follow Destiny or COD for instance you'd have seen the recent and in some cases ongoing debacle with Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM). Now what does this have to do with this issue, well, its technically the same reason the don't like SBMM there is why they don't want a PvE DZ here. PvPer's will be playing others just as good or better players with min / max gear to match and they will have to try (sweat) in any confrontation they get into and I've found that PvPer's hate that. They feel they should have the right to wreck less skilled and improperly geared players in case of the Division (since skill is not a factor here) even though it ruins the experience for others. They would like to just farm and wreck some Noobs as they put it in a relaxed environment, not struggle against a equally geared team, you know the whole point behind PvP.

    Now you have to know this game is dying, Steam numbers show it and the fact that Ubisoft tried to cover up the factual numbers in a recent article goes to show they're hemorrhaging players fast, most being PvE focused. So either it goes, PvPer's are going to lose a lot of fodder here in the coming months, because with a PvE DZ you divide the community or without one and PvEer's just leave the game. Its a catch 22 really, but hey maybe there's enough PvPer's to keep this game alive, lets go ask the 1,900 viewers on twitch.....ouch.

    The DZ is mainly PVE. The PVP is just optional.

    It's not an option because If that was true I wouldn't fight teams, nope , would never agree to that.

    No, make the LZ better.

    That would have been my vote if the option was available.

    There is no PVP in this game at all.
    There is GANK only.
    This also has rely not on the actual player's skill, but on gear and, mostly, on ping. Netcode of the game is really bad.

    For all people who want's PVE DZ, let me ask you some questions:

    1. What will you gain in PVE DZ?

    2. What's your main reason on going in DZ(PVE)?

    3. You go in PVE DZ, then all other players will clear out the locations faster than you (because there will be no other faction that will kill you and get your loots) what will you do?

    4. Now you're bored because there are no NPCs to kill in PVE DZ, you will go in forum and cry to increase the NPC mobs in DZ. Am i correct?

    Optional: available to be chosen, but not obligatory!

    That's the definition. So one player/group, with zero interest in PvP, encounters another player/group that with no warning starts shooting them.

    Options:

    Fight back = PvP
    Run away - (attempt to outrun other players) = PvP
    Stand still until killed or log off game - Since it's likely to be done to rob the opposing player/s of there satisfaction = PvP

    Yep. Completely optional! Can't see why anyone would complain.

    But hey, it's ok. The devs have said how the DZ will get much more PvE friendly.

    I'll paraphrase:- The DZ is much bigger, but without an increase in player numbers so it'll be less populated. The hardcore PvPers will be in the north so just the PvEers and the gankers will be in DZ one to six. We don't want to stop ganking, because we like it!
