Bandits do not attack cities. They attack small groups of travelers and the occasional village/hamlet. They cannot steal everything because EVERYTHING is too heavy, following logic, to run away while carrying.
Null point. People don't do that anyway because they lost items if they entered combat.
It will not add to the game because a PvPer will not leave someone alone after a minute or so of running, they will just keep at them until the person dies. I expect an increase in combat logging.
Cities and bases cannot get much more secure since people cannot build domes over them. Until that happens, an enderpearl is all it takes to break into a massive city with a sturdy wall.
I've spoken to many of the PvP'ers on Teamspeak recently and not many are upset with this change from the PvP community. As a matter of fact I can assure you that 99% of the "best and well known PvP'ers" will not leave the server due to this change.

You're right, I made a mistake while typing that, bandits wouldnt attack a city, but how about an enemy kingdom?

Trust me, I've entered battle with people I know could beat me because I knew if I wanted to, I could run away for 30 seconds and not loose my things.

Not all PvP'ers enjoy chasing, all it takes is a sneaky enderpearl or flywater to get away.

I didn't mean make bases more secure like thatI meant make sure no holes in the walls (I've seen them a lot) and that the buildings themselves are secure too.
You're right I have used pacifist in PvP to not loose my items, as have all pvp'ers. I understand and see why the pacifist was a problem though.
This right here is a HUGE problem that I have with how the server is set up. Massivecraft is flagged as an RP server with PvP aspects, as it stands, the only place safe for RPers /is/ Regalia. I would LOVE for there to be a place where the server was set to PvE only so that RPers could survive without worrying about getting killed by hardcore PvPers. Sure, bandits were a thing in medieval ages, but there were places that bandits were NEVER seen, unlike on massive.
Yes, deflation.
But, but, does factions get raided that often that everyone has to cry?
I never once mentioned that this problem had to do with the faction that I'm in specifically, it's a problem with the server itself, not any particular faction or factions. "Bandits" do not only attack factions, but people that are out gathering resources and adventuring. By allowing bandits to have free roam of the entirety of the areas outside of Regalia, they are essentially killing player's want and desire to travel.
Sorry I didn't mean to say it to y specifically. But just to the crying people. I just don't understand all the problems, raiding isn't a too big problem if you just do a few things, like building a wall securing your portals, and giving people no reason to attack you.
As it stands, raiders don't NEED a reason to attack, you just have to be found. This becomes easier as your member base grows, they'll attack factions with a higher population because they can find them easily on the /f list. Then, it's just a matter of finding your faction on the dynmap. Also, they'll attack players that are geared to survive MOB attacks as opposed to player attacks because "oooohhh shiny diamond armor".
I meant make sure no holes in the walls (I've seen them a lot) and that the buildings themselves are secure too.
What if its them attacking you? You won't have a choice since you'll lose everything anyway
What about if you've only just started, or they're using another aspect of the server. PVP is not the only thing you can do...
I just gave a few tips. But moving factions leaders money to an alt stopped magnanimus from raiding Cissa (I wasn't leader back then). I can't give many tips, but here is one more. Traps find someone on planet minecraft or YouTube and use schematica, when it has been tested in sp.
No it's not, but it is a huge part of the server. And they already have balanced the safe zones with wilderness and fact
You act as though pacifist restricts you from gaining items while in combat. If those you are attacking aren't role-players or defenseless noobs who neither have expensive potions nor weapons in their inventory, they will fight you thus losing their pacifist.
Very much so not true. Some, actually most of the average PvP'ers health potion until they get their pacifist so they can die without losing their items. I have seen this happen many times. Me and other faction members will corner a player and he will see that he is clearly outnumbered and has lost the fight will just potion, so we get absolutely nothing from beating him or her, fair in square. Being a great PvP'er is a lot more than knowing how to hit and wearing god armour, it also has to do with knowing how to seperate opponents and kill them off one by one (assuming your outnumbered like I pointed out above) and also being good at running. So in a sense it does restrict item gain from lower level fighters.
I don't necessarily think it would collapse, as that is the system that we used for a suuuuuper long time, and it worked pretty okay I guess. But I disagree with the OP's sentiment still, I really don't think pacifist should be put back in.
Remove MCmmo and you may have a point here.
