You should come on PVE server #2006 (xbox) and see what I have to deal with, its ridiculous, that kind of building is everywhere!
Sepermaru has been gated off from the obelisk , the Oasis itself has been paved over, Bridge of the betrayer blocked off etc… Also some of the builds are just …huge…
Additionally most of it, is the work of just a couple of clans (probably all the same guy lol) - No moderation at all going on with that server.
I already had a character on there about a year ago, I got so fed up with it, I deconstructed everything and readied my character to move to another server. A year later server transfers are still disabled, so my L60 Character with all it’s knowledge is still stuck there in a kind of limbo.
I personally would like to see server transfers return, but this time be able to just take what you want ( at least for PVE) - Obviously that would not fly on any PvP server, but I don’t see why PVE’ers have to deal with such restrictions.
Most transfers would be due to either wanting to join other friends on different servers or just to jump to a less (or more–if that’s your thing) populated server, rather to gain any non-existent tactical advantage.
Although I am currently playing on a PVE server atm, I have played and do play across all types (Pvp, PVE-C) - and one thing I have observed on PVE servers is quite fascinating in a way. It’s weird but people feel the need to ‘gate’ or close off whole areas of the map, it’s very strange.
I mean I suppose some might still try to do so on PvP servers, but well, that kind of building won’t last long.
