People play a GAME to get away from the real world. And if the developers want to make money by bringing in the average joe, you bet they would protect their interests to have fun.

Realize this : you are only beating up a bunch of pixeled archers and swordsmen.. You want realism? Join the armed forces and serve your country. You can get as much reality there as you can handle.
Whoa there tiger. The reason you gave is ONE reason SOME people play games. It's one reason I do myself. Another reason I play is because I'm competitive, and I like to win. All games, even single player ones, are inherently competitive. People play for many reasons, and good games cater to all of them. Niche games cater to some. If you don't like conflict with other people, go buy a copy of Sim City or something. Seems like you are saying you don't like PvP and neither do a lot of people, therefore you should be allowed to play PvP games your way and not have to deal with any of the repurcussions of, well, PvP. If that's what you're saying, go find a nice non PvP game. I can recommend a few if you like.

I'm not seeing your argument. Is it that, for you, a game is FUN only when there is no conflict or competition? Is it that, uh...apparantly since some bad things have happened over the course of human history, therefore average Joe's...I give up. I hardly think that 'Go join the army if you want realism' = 'Therefore its awesome that there is no way to actually fight anyone in a game ultimately based on fighting, land, and resource acquisition'.

Do you have a real argument? Because this makes little sense.
