Reading about PvPvE.
Now i was reading the info on AION and saw PvPvE.
"PvPvE
Combat in other online role-playing games consists of PvE (Player vs. Environment): fighting computer-controlled monsters, and PvP (Player vs. Player): human-controlled characters fighting each other.
For the first time in the MMORPG genre, Aion™ brings these two game features together in an evolving and seamless system. PvPvE manages the complex relationships and alliances between realms, races and guilds; it also controls the mighty Dragons, a non-player faction and a common enemy to all players, regardless of faction.
For the first time in the MMORPG genre, Aion™ brings these two game features together??? There making it sound like its a new thing never before done what the hell am i missing?"

It's essentially saying it is RvR with three factions but one faction is completely controlled by NPC's they are there as the balancers or to just throw things off. For example if one PC faction is totally dominating and steam rolling the other. The NPC faction may step in to help the weaker faction to balance the playing field.
that can be good and that can be bad we will see.

Yeah
the best case scenario is where the AI are actuals AI running on their own reasoning in a spontaneous way...
the worst case scenario is were they are very structured and very predictable causing many exploitations of the NPC...
the "i think would happen" scenario is they would be a very structured AI, nothing surprising would happen and can be predicted but there would be no exploits
