You are obviously on the wrong server, all the things you suggest could be enjoyed (?) on the non hostile worlds either Syntax or Recursion. Vector is harsh although tbh there are locations and HL's where you would hardly ever see another player if you did not want to. Stealth, discression and streetsmarts are what you need to employ of vector and the support of a good faction will always help. The hostile world is dangerous and always will threaten you but particularly as you get to the higher levels you may well find the additional involvement a benefit and enhancement to the game rather than the obstacle it seems atm.
This game is broken, and here's only a few of the reasons...

Well, first of all, a few positive comments to the OP:
Maybe it's not the best thing to use such a bold size, but I haven't anything against long reading. He used this place for some relatively constructive suggestions and therefore I'd prefer to keep from comments like "this is for posts not for novels... just read "metamorphoses" and just a bit tired". It's funny to read but doesn't really contribute anything to the point.
However, just like absolutely everyone here has pointed out, you really seem to have overlooked the "hostile"-byname of the server you're playing in. You're suggesting "voluntary" PvP without actually knowing that that's exactly what the other two servers offer. You don't wanna get ganked, so then don't type /pvp or involve yourself in a battle in any way (no matter if attacking or healing). And you can have your fun. I really have to add, the fact that you couldn't figure it out with your 25 years experience (several MMOs have hostile and non-hostile servers, you know) and now posting it with such a self-assurance is just embarassing. Maybe the reason why you haven't replied yet.
And the second point of yours I don't "agree" with is those immature players who can be something they can't be in the real. Well, I have to admit some Vectorites match your description: They think their PvP server is the only "real" one and comtemptuosly look down to the other ones calling them "carebears". Some even suggested to let the Vector players vote for new characters because it's such a special uber place. Although, of course, most of those comments are more or less humorous and sarcastic, I sometimes have the impression that certain people mean it.
But... you're definetely exaggerating it. You act as if going to an other hardline is such a big deal... heck, just select a hardline in the same neighborhood and walk a few minutes longer. And obviously you really take this game too seriously. You can't comprehend that this is really a game and you should watch your back yourself -- especially since you've chosen this server yourself.
You know... some people talk about hatred-speech and insults coming from players who were just killed in PvP. For the "normal" players who are conscious of the fact that this is just a game (and I try to be one of those), such a behaviour is imcomprehensible; all they can usually reply to this is really the "chill out man, this is just fun". Then the enraged ganked person reconstructs and leaves all others in perplexity.
Well, obviously you just revealed yourself as one of those people. Maybe you don't start throwing profanities in others's faces and keep your anger to yourself (which would be undoubtedly good), but the point is the same. You don't understand this is a game and blame others and the programmers for something the server you've selected is designed for.
I think players shouldn't disturb live event meetings by starting battles, but in all other cases, just watch your back and take the hostily of your server as a challenge. (which you can easily master by hyper-jumping away right after materializing in the Matrix).
That's all. (was that longer than war and peace?)
Oh, and PS: Although you've mentioned CR 2.0 in one passage, this thread definetely belongs to the actual PvP board in the gameplay discussion section.
This board is designed for CR 2.0 feedback only.

energak, I know very well what fun it is just to annoy others. The only problem is, no one will respect you here and everyone is going to look down to you and laugh at you as an immature kid who doesn't understand a thing. I suppose you don't care...
So, lol, leave, lol, or post enough nonsense to get banned, lol, main thing you're outta here. lol. And a lot of bleeps, of course.
