Ark: Survival Evolved can be played as either PvE or PvP servers. On PvP servers, users may experience player raids, or griefing to their bases and tamed dinosaurs. However, Ark servers set to PvE don't allow players to harm each other; this creates a positive environment focused on progression instead of controlling territory. In addition, specific PvE times can be set to make a raid window for players; this is an excellent middle ground for servers that only want PvP conflict sometimes.
