That could be interesting on a dedicated PvP server, but ESO's megaserver technology makes that impossible. A good MMORPG needs a balance between PvE and PvP. Having to constantly look over my shoulder for enemy players would be a miserable experience. The PvP elements should never interfere with PvE elements unless you are in a PvP zone.

I honestly can't stand PvP anyways. I hate fighting other players for the same reasons I hate playing any online elements on a console game: I'm not that good. I'm good enough to do all the single player and PvE stuff, but I don't play any one online game enough to compare to most of the people playing online. Enemies kill me easily, and then allies get pissed that I'm not a good "team player" or some other nonsense. I might be able to get better with an MMORPG since I do play RPGs most of the time, but not without a controller.

I'm not trying to whine about PvP and multiplayer games. I have no problem with their existence or the fact that others enjoy them. I just don't want to be forced into it. I don't need big challenges, that's what real life is all about. So as a casual PvE gamer, I don't want other people harassing me at every turn. I ADORE this game, but if enemy players could randomly attack me anywhere, this game would get deleted from my hard drive forever. And I love pvp, which is why I said for there should be several pvp servers, in which you could attack any player of the oposite faction anywhere, expect for a few sanctuaries. To me it sounds rather boring to only kill npcs in an mmorpg, what´s the fun in that? They always do the same thing, same skills, there is no challenge. Now pvp on the other hand, that's a fun thing to do, they could do anything at any given time. If I ever play that game, it will be for the pvp to be frank. Besides, you could just create a character in a server which is pve, (pvp only allowed in cyrodiil or instanced battlegrounds) that way your way of playing won't ruin the game for people with my same mindset in terms of mmorpgs.
