Ouroboros PvP instances

I got to thinking. There are some of us who really do not like the PvP system in this game. For me, it is a combination of things. A couple of the major issues for me are:

1) The rules for character building, how defense works, game mechanics, etc. all change for PvE.

2) The behavior and language of many PvP players offend me. The fact of this being an internet activity in which two humans interact contentiously seems to bring this out a lot.

I am not the only one who has an aversion to PvP for game mechanics reasons. Also, if anyone talked to one of my pre-teen or teenage relatives the way I have been talked to on PvP maps I would still be having long discussions with someone at NCsoft months after the fact.

I was wondering about the possilbility for the Devs to create Ouroboros-type instances of PvP maps, in order for those of us who want the badges there to go there and avoid all of the drama that NCSoft does not have the time to monitor but brings down the quality of life for many. Has this idea been discussed previously?

Also, what would be the appropriate forum to offer up this suggestion to the Devs?

I can't see this as serious request. Honestly, the PvP zones are pretty empty except for prime time on a few servers (Freedom really) and even the servers with a population are concentrated in fight clubs. The exploration badges are trivial to get (its even easier with any type of -PER power) without encountering a soul.

If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

1.) Minimize your chat window. Now you won't see anyone talking (unless they're right in front of your face).

2.) If 1) isn't far enough, remove Broadcast temporarily from all your chat tabs (you won't see the bubbles in that case either)

3.) Go to any PvP zone during prime time, odds are you still won't see anyone. I'd regularly do Shivan / Nuke runs back when people actually PvPed! And I'd only occasionally actually see someone. PvP is even deader now than it was back in its prime... which was pretty damn dead.

4.) You don't need the badges. If trash talking bothers you soooooo much, and none of the other options are acceptable to you, just move on and don't worry about the tiny number of badges.
