			Have you ever wondered when PVPing, why am i fighting? where are we fighting? whats the purpose of this situation i am fighting for?Well i recently did, and i quickly realised, in wildstar PVP there is no reason given...As i reminisced about my WOW days of PVP, i quickly realised that wildstar fails to give us anything beyond the generic Exile vs Dominion reason for fighting, it doesnt explain where we are fighting, and it doesnt explain why we are fighting.Wildstar PVP maps are just, well, maps. Instances unrelated to the world that i have been running around in all through leveling. Dont get me wrong, they are clearly themed to fit into the world, but they lack...Locational References, Narrative, Motive, Lore.Its a very small detail and probably low priority, but when i think of warsong gultch, i can clearly see, horde v's alliance, fighting over the elven forest of silven vale (or what ever it was called) even if the reason behind capturing flags alludes me. Arathi basin was clearly a part of Arathi highlands. Alterac valley clearly a part of... well, you get the idea.I guess my point is, why the hell are we stealing moodie masks for the moodies? where the hell is this place, why are we here? Who cares? is it just an excuse to wreck face? Same thing for Sabotage or HOTBS, Where are these places? where are the geographical markers, the back drops that give reference to location? What is the story? Why are exiles and dominion being sent here?In other words why has instanced pvp been treated like an excuse to kill players, and a bullet point on a box, rather than a cohesive part of the world story, like everything else? Too me, on a subconscious level at the very least, this is one of the many aspects of the game, that makes me feel like wildstar is just a series of instances and not  a living breathing world with load screens.And it makes PVP locations less memorable and emotionally engaging.Thoughts?
