I want a space where people can just properly pvp at all times with no restrictions and then the rest of the world to be at constant danger from anyone around you, because corruption system will only fuck them over if they didn't clear their PK count well enough.
One is a pure pvp place, but still in the open world, so that there's none of that matchmaking/queue bs and the other is a dangerous PvX world. Both have pvp in it, but one is for pure fights, while the other is fights over some other content rather than "well, I gank people just because I want some pvp", even though the sheer process of "ganking" implies that the other person was preoccupied with something else, wasn't properly prepared for you and barely responded to your actions (if at all).
All of this is, once again, based on years of enjoying this exact setup with shitton of different pvp/x encounters.
Yes, you do find it hard to understand that someone could've had a similar experience to you, but didn't come out with the same result in terms of their POV on the mechanic.
No one. I simply grew out of the weakest kind of pvp out there. I did all of that stuff in my earlier years, because I thought that killing weaklings was something cool and worth bragging about.
Then I grew up and realized that having proper wars and equal fights (or fighting upwards against stronger people) is a much more interesting activity and IS actually worth bragging about, if you come out on top.
And then defending the weaklings for the gankers felt even better, because gankers would often cry that I'm spoiling their fun, even though they literally drive people away from the game.
But I want all 3 types of people to coexist in Ashes, which is exactly why I've been suggesting a system that would allow gankers to kill people, allow BHs to hunt those gankers and would allow victims to have a higher chance of getting their lost items back (while still losing a portion of loot, cause it gets sunken).
Again, as I showed in the video I posted, my experience of open world arenas is also "it's just a basic open field". Which is exactly why I'm asking for something MUCH BETTER from Intrepid. I've been trying to hold them up to better standards than what I (or Steven) experienced before. And I believe they can match those standards, but Steven seems to prefer the easy way out.
Though, of couuuuuurse, everything is subject to change and a work in progress, so, by some miracle, we might still see some complex and deep systems later on. I'm just worried that if I stop yelling at Steven about those kinds of systems - the "pvpers" will just make him create a ton of lawless zones and that's gonna be that.
I played with lawless zones - they're shit and boring.

Definitely a reaction of someone who's completely and totally not a pvper, yes.
EDIT: and here's me at my 24th hour of straight gamplay, not realizing that war enemies show up as red (this one the first that I saw at the time) thinking "oh, some bastard was PKing lowbies near Lionhold, I can take him" and then seeing that he's lvl20 and is about to body me. All while I had super rare mats on me and literally a few minutes ago in the stream I said "nah, I'm just running to Windstead, cause my loot is too precious".

Also definitely not a pvpers response to seeing a pvpable target.
Funny that, it already existed, were called lawless zones! And it looks like you are pretty much the only one on a constant complaining about it, like everywhere; while the majority of the pvpers seemed to have fun in there hence why they are asking for it back.
(what is also funny is that you keep contradicting yourself and changing your narrative gradually)
And once more what you want its evidently not what everyone wants... also honestly i couldnt care less about your reactions, as far as it goes to me you do not own a competitive mindset, been beyond obvious when you prioritize pve related stuff over pvp, plus you can say/post whatever you want it wont shake my certainty.
Surely we do not have a similar experience btw. Oh the strike of irony, so as you did the others must not... gotcha
All you need to do is to go back and read what you have written
In a matter of fact i did just watch, also got curious
Now im not going to do an essay of every single time you contradicted yourself, just go back and read
