Possible way to change how the corruption works

Well wait and see

Let's. Things will change, its easy to get caught up in the current experience but its not a game yet atm.

with the current corruption system there is absolutely no possible reward that can out weight the penalty of going corrupt. Give it some time and you will see for yourself that almost no one will choose to go corrupt even if the rewards for going corrupt would be great.

I think you will come to find that this is not true as things get tuned.

In short: you are for a world with NO open world PVP at all.

That's not true in theory or in practice. That's purely based on your current experience, your perception of the systems, or an unfinished alpha state.

Maybe if I claimed that the current state of things should be final then you might be able to say that, but I said things will change which will likely result in the outcomes and intents that i've previously mentioned.

And for me its FUN while i am farming/gathering to meet some other group, to have some pvp, then continue with your daily tasks. This is something unexpected that you didnt plan for that can make the average game session interesting.

Agreed. I think that this will be the case eventually. It might not be as often as you would like in the open world, but it will likely happen nonetheless. Again, stick to the other auto-flagged zones and pvp/pvx systems if you want to experience this in the open world, moreso than what you can get in corruption enabled areas/contested content.

Ok guess i got your view, and even tho this didnt change my view on the things, i doubt my explanations will change yours either.

just want to ask 1 last thing:
@Ace1234
Why do you think that having corruption in boss areas is better than boss areas being free pvp areas? (not talking about the whole world map obviously, just the area around the bosses)

Its not that its "better" its just different. Boss areas being open free pvp areas can already be a thing in hunting grounds and open seas and whatnot. What can't happen in those open pvp areas is the surprise of someone choosing to go corrupt. You already expect people to pvp in pvp areas, wheras in corruption enabled areas there is more of that prediction/surprise aspect of whether someone will pvp because there is a certain expectation of peace through the corruption deterrent. Its just an opportunity for more drama compared to the pvp zones where the focus is more on that pvx war aspect. You can still have that pvx stuff in corruption enabled areas, but it will be more spontaneous and less common, due to the tuning of penalties/rewards which allow it to take place while still preserving pve dedicated content to an extent (for when its not worth it to go corrupt), which is also important for providing a variety of experiences.

Ok guess i got your view, and even tho this didnt change my view on the things, i doubt my explanations will change yours either.

Yeah, good talk though.

Instead of creating something completely new, what if pvp in corrupted areas would be heavily debuffed? That would solve the issue and the system already exists

So you want to have multiple kinds of corruption? Where some of the types dont make you drop items and dont reduce your stats? And the type of corruption you get depends on the place you got corrupted at?

What happens if you fight 40 vs 40 and some member make 6 kills. Will the corruption stack? Will these stacks affect you dropping items or reducing your dmg/move spead even tho you got corrupted at boss area?

Can you get multiple types of corruption at the same time? Do they stack?

No, picture this since the landscape gets corrupted then in those areas player should gain corruption much slower, so in thise case killing 6 players in a heavy corrupted area should gain the same amount of corruption as killing one lower level player in the newbie area.... something in those lines, got it?

And I wonder if the flagging shouldnt be for the entire part, lets say if the leader decides the party is green then the entire party is green, if he decides the party is purple then the entire party becomes purple

well sounds like possible solution.
And yes i agree that the flagging should be shared, And not only the flagging but the corruption also.
