If you are like me and was super excited to see Icewind Dale updates on the way, your love for this content probably goes as far back to the earlier Icewind Dale I & II games for PC. Some of the best in the series they pushed the limits of Wizards of the Coast gameplay and made the series better with each game. Then came Neverwinter Nights, and amazing game with open gameplay online through built modules that allowed players from anywhere to connect and fight in private servers. One thing I remember was the battles I fought against other players in furious combat between each other in open world, and arenas. With everything from DM's spawning dragons into battles to summoning massive armies of undead to create havoc, it was a PvP players wet dream.
Now with the Icewind Dale update to Neverwinter everyone can not help but express extreme disappointment with the game due to the utter lacking of PvP and dead zones. I go into Icewind Dale Pass and Dwarven Valley PvP Zone only to find at best one person just wandering around. After they are killed the chances of them returning to the PvP Area are close to zero, and the PvP there is stale as a 2 year old bag of Cheetos. I would suggest making a Zone that requires players to PvP in a completely marked area of flagged PvP. Creating a rewards system such as rewarding small amounts of Glory for kills. Even having players drop items upon death would be a start. Now I know what a lot of you are thinking. Why should I be forced to PvP. Well to be quite honest no one would force you to enter this Zone and partake in this massacre. Players are forced to PvE out boons and grind for gear every day. We are forced to run dungeons and suffer endless PUG matching to obtain lack-luster gear that is only phased out and obsolete to PvP gear in my opinion. I dont mind having to do the quests required to unlock boons even though it is boring as listening to Ben Stein read haiku poetry. No offense Ben.
So making a Zone that requires players to be active in PvP is not even close to the amount of PvE oriented content that people are forced to do. A place where the best of the best can run free, stretch their legs and get some much needed carnage, without having to Que in a broken ELO system match with PUG players who don't even know what's going on. With Random Boss spawns and Random Encounters spawning on the battlefield to create mass havoc, players would be thrusted into a world of violence where the only ones who survive are cut from steel, with minds of flame, and a little luck wouldn't hurt either. The only way your cannot be attached would be by grouping with other players or sharing guild tags.
This is a PvP oriented discussion so please keep the flame comments out, and constructive thoughts only. For serious PvP players who are seeking to bring life back to the PvP system, because lets face it Cryptic. Your last update was widely regarded as a "bad move". You have the power to award those dedicated and hard players who keep your coffers lined with cash and making this game live. Thanks

The same should be true for PvE.
People should have options.
You could have the option to GO OR NOT in the pvp zone, but having a 1/10 pvp zone in 1/50 area.. still useless and boring, as those zone are still empty, and pvp player are scattered betwenn 10-20 instance, having 2-3 player in pvp area in each zone and 25 out of the pvp area...
This kind of pvp zone scatter the players who want to pvp and does not work. We need a 100% pvp area, witch would be balanced TT/AB by the system when joining the area, if the area is filled with 15TT and 15AB then a new instance is created. etc etc ..
Same if 14/15 in instance and someone in a 5man party trying to join, it could create a new instance directly for the group to get in..
Anyway a 100% pvp area would be better than having a small portion of a map for pvp and the 90% of it for pve...
Module 3 was just released and this should technically be its highest usage. The fact that a lot of open world pvp zones are empty is very scary
It becomes beyond discouraging to out play, out technique another player and still lose! These unkillable helaing HRs that are harder to kill then a raid boss, and the GodMode spammable unstoppable GWFs.

~ GF Buffs were great we are much better, please fix the bugs now... Thank you!
REALLY large Open PvP areas with enough room for several castle/keeps/forts with "safe" zones.
Warhammer nailed it with their PvP -- large areas, siege weapons, 40+vs40+ with multiple capturable/reinforceable areas. And you would start in your safe zone, and you could run back to it if you needed to regroup, respawn, restock, rearm, etc.
