i used to find pvp abhorrent because of a few things...
1) was late joining to most servers so most people were a long way ahead of me kit wise and just floored me.
2) so many people that are faster than me (whether cheating tweaked, or im just slow i dont care the reason) no matter how much of a fight i put up if you arnt in the spot my screen says you are then im not going to win.
3) I hate giving up a boss to a pvper when iv been there a half hour and they just walk in and floor you and theres nothing you can do about it.
but recently i have embraced pvp and theres reasons why on this server.
1) if you know you cant win just tt or rt. dont be stubborn about it, just get on with the grind or the next boss and ull forget about it
2) im never going to be a fast player. *shrugs*. just gotta deal wth it.
3) move on, go to the next boss, the next grind. maybe you will get that one. Dont run around for 30 mins and end up losing kit when they floor you anyway. as long as you are being productive then you will gain.
4) if you are having a pvp then enjoy it. if you arnt enjoying it then tt. if you enjoyed it and you died anyway, why troll? dont get angry. dont get even. DO make friends. people are there to play it same as you are. the amount of people who iv made friends with after they tt and i say " that was really fun, cant believe you floored me, that brace cost me 300k!".... you dont need to be a douche about it and neither do they. if they troll you just move on. mir has block buttons, dont let it get to you.
and guess what! now i love pvp. im not very good at it and i never really manage to kill anyone. you win if you play the game to have fun and achieve that

so i wouldnt take pvp out of mir. its what makes mir what it is.
