You persist in the idea that there needs to be some further penalty for not wanting to put up with silly kids who want to gank you any time, anywhere, and destroy what you've built. These ideas do not work in MMO's, because there's never enough accountability to offset the real mental, maturation, and sociopathic issues that cause people to want to gank, crush, and destroy at a whim, for imagined slights, and to vent childish frustration. Kids, mentally, physically, or both.
Not everyone who does that stuff does it for those reasons, but there's a HUGE number of them that do. There's no escaping having to deal with them in the full ffa world you want. I don't want to have to form a war party or join a huge tribe because Jimmy didn't get his daily dose of ritalin. This quote from you: "Most people seem to not realize that, in 2011, in an open PvP game, it's not enough to be able to kill any person anywhere any way you like. It's also important to be able to stomp their crap into the ground. Burn down. Freaking disintegrate." leads me to believe you're one of the ritalin kids.
Some people, who like pvp, dislike HAVING to deal with the kids ALL THE TIME, EVERYWHERE. It's nice that we're being given the choice.
