in character creation you could mark yourself as a "civilian", "adventurer" or maybe "merchant" and no one could ever attack these kinds of characters. it also would be permanent mark.
of course it would be different on cyrodiil becouse that is a warzone and when you go there you go there for war.
maybe there could be some guards on cyrodiil entrance that would warn you not to go there and you could take their advice or be reckless merchant or whatever.
i want pve players to be safe from horrible gankers and let horrible gankers do what they want as they do enjoy it. your merchant mark would wear off when you go to pvp zone, and that is cyrodiil. everything would work normally, except those who want pvp other places than cyrodiil can have it and those who want to be left alone in other places than cyrodiil do get their peace.
this way everyone is happy and no unwanted ganking or griefing is taking place.
prove me wrong, or suggest better solution.
