In all honesty and despite I am NOT a personal fan of it. As PvP/Friendly fire is already built into the game why not have an option on the server to enable it? As long as pre log on an alert came up so there could be NO CHANCE folks would join unaware of this have it it. Whatever floats your boat.
It seems daft that such a minor tweak isnt in the game to expand its appeal to those that like such things

It's NOT a pvp type of game... its a solo / coop-with-friends type game. The option to turn on friendly fire is already there but, obviously it is intended for players who all agree to it, and individually switch it on.

It's not daft for the devs to create the game as they envisioned it, and it certainly hasn't hurt their sales whatsoever. There are thousands of games that offer PVP as it's main feature, but this is not one of them.
