Where is the PvP?

Book of Grudges:  A swim in the RvR lakes

    "But if people actually *wanted* to play PvP, they wouldn't plan early morning raids. Instead the attackers just want to win, and the easiest way to win is to PvE, not PvP."

    I can understand wanting to win, since after all, that's kind of the point, but do you really think people are consciously saying, "Oh, I should just find a way around the PvP and get to the boss." I'd be more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt and congratulate them on their well-organized sneak attack. Thoughts?

Scheduling for off-peak times. Looking to avoid the big battles. ...
