I don't think you're understanding my posts

The problem isn't that we're testing, it's that they forget that we're primarily players anyway
So if we were employees it would look like you live in Florida but from this day forward you have to work in the NewYork office come as you please it's not the company's problem or leave in general.

So it's easier for them to offend and chase away 60% of all players in order to increase online on one server by 10%.
They don't think about their users (maybe only at this stage but it's a fact:)).

There's nothing stopping them from keeping those servers and doing a sale promotion in the right region.

Starting from P2 we mostly had PvP in form of caravans PvP to fight over Gold basically, which was fine although from someone who played AA I still wish they would just copy paste that system, currently with flagging on a caravan event let alone 10 is just way worse than force flagging and ganking those caravans esp when you summon your own caravan in order to claim the goods it becomes very messy with people flagging wrong and be in 15 events which some you might be attacker and defender, I honestly don't see the point of an extra system rather then just force flagging and killing it. While you will go corrupt for it, which is the next problem. (not even considering outsiders or people flagging your side in order to crowbar the goods so no one can have it, like wtf is that?)

In this game when going corrupt you will lose your gear and eventually this will be regulated with the Blight system where you can kill some people before losing your gear which will always be the cutoff point. As soon you risk losing your gear you cannot kill someone anymore, you just wont and this is not a good thing. Going back to AA where you would face jail time aka real time you wont be able to play which people would mind less than losing their gear however you faced punishment so people would't go out just killing people for no reason. In addition you faced a jury which was just a bonus to get some player interaction where you could slightly rp and or decide the verdict of people which some had good or bad reputation, just a bonus addition towards the jail system. I rather sit in jail for 2 hours and do manual labour task then losing an item which i farmed for (lets be real, couple days) while it does desensitise to just randomly murder people.

Going back to caravans you also have no real downside to attack someones caravan which would be the case if you just need to force flag. I don't know about you guys but in P2 we murdered so many caravans Steven didn't even showed us the statistics in EU, there was no reason not to and I think that's lame, there should be some "risk and reward" to it. There was also big problem with caravans where a lot of battles became "throw your body against it " battles. With so many embersprings around you could just respawn with spawn protection and go to the caravan and hit it til it was dead (which is significantly harder now in P2.5 tbf). Next point would be embersprings and respawn time, in current game I do think there are too many embersprings which makes killing someone less impactful, when fighting someone in lets say in Jundrak over the hawk bow or daggers where you always could be back than less than 5 minutes (daggers even 1 Minute) that also goes for every POI or almost everywhere developed zone in the game which I saw mainly in P2 due to caravan pvp which happened everywhere.

Going to P2.5 where gold doesn't matter due to no goldsinks and broken economy you fight over named mobs which you cant because how the corruption system works, so you have to dps race which is just lame. In Jundrak til recently we could do that which actually was pretty fun, we fought over the named mobs in order to obtain the kill and hopefully the loot (which made the tedious grind at least fun), which was a good thing you fought over a limited resource which is what Steven wants (at least he said that) and a lot of the core Playerbase. I'm not advocating to make everything lawless or something but pvping should be viable, be it some lawless POI or some lawless zones with good resources or make a viable corruption system because the risk of losing your gear is not viable and never will be.

Right now the pvp system is inferior across the board compared what we had in AA and without some major changes I don't see it being better in the future
