I don’t play PvP but PvE-Conflict.
Honestly @Rocko11 I never had your problem at your level, because my goal was to reach level 60 and getting best gears in the game.
Why ?
-
To be able to defeat strongest monsters for my own fun.
-
To find rarest item in the game and collecting them, for my own fun.
-
To be able to fight other players (you need skill too, obviously, but if you don’t have best equipement it’s a losing battle), because I enjoy a good duel.
-
To be able to build huge infrastructures for the benefit of all players:
For example bridges to reach Well of Skelos or the Tower of Bats, to place a maproom near each of the obelisks preventing someone to close them, huge arcs to prevent blocks and all that $h@#s.
Why we (me and my clan) did this last thing ?
Because being the ones they did it had, as I expected, 3 side effects.
First:
Other players on the server was happy of this, they started do the same, all Alpha clans on our server now do the same and the server is a beautiful place where to play relaxed in a friendly environment where all other Alpha clans are our allies.
We made a lot of new friends being friendly, now most of the time I play just to chat with them, my english could be really bad even now but I was totally unable to write a sentence in english before starting to play CE.
Second
We play on an official server, some new players think I’am an admin just because I care of their problems and the ones of the server (in game problems, obviously).
Well it’s really satisfying and makes us proud of what we have done.
Third
Now my clan and our allies are actually in control of 100% of important paths and resource accesses of the map without having closed or blocked none of them in 10 months of play.
People thanks us for doing it !
Now the very way to play the game on our server was shaped by how we play.
“Survive. Build.* Dominate.” They said.
Playing alone and ruling with brutal force on the ashes of an empty land is not what I mean by Domination.
What’s YOUR definition of Domination ? 
*EDIT: oh, and obviouly we’ve built a lot, just for the fun of it of course 

When I’ll be able to show you, I’ll post something in the right section of the forum
