We need to rethink how seasonal servers work. With the addition of Elvia phasing I realized they should addapt this to Seasonal. Rather than the 5 seasonal servers, make them back into regular servers but keep their PvE setup. Allow seasonal characters to be on their home channel and phase into a Seasonal version where only Seasonal characters can interact. This will reduce the crowding that happens the first week of seasons while also addressing the fact that seasons is a dead server after the first week. It makes it so you don't have to server swap and character swap after you swap to attend a boss.
We could go farther, you could make seasonal versions of the harder Grind Spots, IE Seasonal Ash Forest, adjust the gear to be 245/308 Same/slimilar mechanics only more tanky, but remove or greatly reduce the higher drops, IE at Ash, remove the merchant ring, and cut the debo drop rate by 95%. Just a suggestion.
But that literally is what Olvia and Seasonal servers are right now. They are both PvE Servers with limited time access to that mode.
Now ignoring the PvE aspect, even if they reverted the seasonal servers back to normal servers, the players would be better suited to have seasons be an alternate phase of a server like Elvia is instead of having to swap to a different server, then when you want to play a different character have to swap back to the other server burning channel CDs. This would also allow players to be able to be on their home server in a guild AND on a seasonal to allow for swapping to different channels if a rotation is occupied.
I love this game; and have been here since the beginning on and off. I would LOVE PvE servers. Right now, I seem to run some sort of sequence between a Seasonal toon (which has many many disadvantages over a normal toon) or just taking a break so I can come back to an Olvia server. I think we are partially there with Olvia servers and Seasonal servers...but I personally, am not looking for additional buffs (it could be aligned to all the events on a regular server), I just want a non-pvp server to play my game in peace. New players and many former players I am sure would love this addition -- as pvp is distasteful to many -- and is the exact reason I have left, and primarily return to a seasonal or Olvia server.

You have marnis realm litterally can have a hour with a one hour cooldown to play by yourself on a grind zone, the game already removed the main ways to pvp. They are banning people on arsha for pvping rn an using the word "Harrassment".
Or they could just leave things as they are! ;)
You have marnis realm
Where is 24/7 marni for eg. mirumok or crocodiles?

You won't play your game in peace even on a pve server, you'll simply be challenged in pve only. A very relative "peace".
