This argument falls apart when you look at the current direction. Improved lifeskilling, mansions, PVE (Collaborative) dungeons, and the upcoming PVE arena.

The thing about PvE Only server to me, is how deepy intertwined PvE and PvP are in this game.  In order to generate income, players go out into the open world - a shared space with resources sought after by many adventurers - kill mobs, gather trees, slaughter lamb, sail and barter, etc.  And these resources are there as a means for us to either work together to attain, or compete for. 

What I am having trouble seeing is how would a full-on PvE server be balanced with a normal PvX server?  When on normal servers, players will have to spend time (which reduces income / progression) fighting or working things out with others to determine who gets the resource.  You know, normal MMORPG stuff, working with or against other people.  (I mean, we do play an Open World MMORPG, not some hub based, instanced not-really-an-MMO-but-other-people-exist game like Diablo.) 

On a PvE Only server, players would be able to run around uninhibited, spending no time even needing to speak to anyone.  We play an MMORPG, after all.  Removing OW PvP from even one server removes one of the biggest social interactions currently in BDO, and that is, open world engagements.

I get it, you don't want to be griefed while lifeskilling.  But why a full on PvE server?  Why not improving existing systems?  I hope you realize how far off a full-on PvE server is from how this game was originally designed, you know, the design that led PA to rake in billions and the design that got us here in the first place?

Full personal interpretations. To begin with, I call your own definition of what a meaningful owpvp is. Lol.

Do a pve system requier forced pvp to function ? Or do a pve system was reworked for olivia or seasonal because it couldnt work without forced pvp ? ( nop ) Time and gear restrictions on Olvia / Seasons. Did you forget?

Do the entier BDO open world only resolve around pve system ? ( yup ) it revolves around a pvpve system, that's precisely your problem

Do class only are balanced around pvp ? ( nop ) Balanced around pvpve. Once more

Do the devs worked on forced pvp post valencia ? ( nop ) Lol. Check again, without your personal definitions.

Do the devs keep work on siege / node & advertise on their website at the expense of everything else ? ( yup ) Personal interpretation, again

Do siege & node wars happen in the open world therefore can be tagged as "open world pvp" ? ( yup ) ???

I've wanted PvE channels pretty much since the day this game launched in NA.  There's so much wasted potential and it drives so many people away when you force PvP onto players who have 0 interest in it.  Call it a "PvP game" all you want, but the fact remains that the game offers a ton of unique content for people not interested in PvP.  Let us enjoy the game the way we want, please.

Many of these statements are just wrong.

"In order to generate income, players go out into the open world"

I have been spending the majority of my time cooking and making materials in town.  This is generating a massive amount of income on a permanent basis.  People use 49 alts to fish, gather, and do other life skills.

What we can conclude from this is you should stop making those statements.  They are blatantly false and easily proven to be so.  You have out dated ideas and concepts that don't apply to BDO.

Even your examples of butchering sheep or gathering sap don't apply.  Those do not create any type of realisitc PVP environment.  Nor does trading, fishing, or even bartering for most players.

You need to accept the idea of fighting your way through the game is out dated and maybe it's YOU not everyone else that needs to find another game to suit their needs.

How are people "competing for resources and power" when you can CASH SHOP your way and AFK LEVEL?

We call it "pvpve game", and nobody is preventing you from enjoying it. Unless you want to do its medium to high pve without owpvp interferences, that's the only moment when you can feel potentially annoyed by owpvp. There's still plenty of things to do besides that. 

This simply isn't true.  Stars End has become the old Sausans.  Additionally, any area of real value will immediately suffer from this problem.

And PVP or especially mob feeding is the very definition of "preventing you from enjoying it".  That is also not limited to griefing on near max stat characters NOT with 300AP, but instead maximizing DP to the extent that most players can not kill them.  It may also include using invisibility or excessive mobile classes to mob feed.

I watched a female streamer recently say she wouldn't go to Star's End because of the griefing.  That instead they would go Aakman, Hystria etc to avoid the PVP.  I think Pearl Abyss devs should be feel a bit ashamed to have created such a situation.  I feel a bit sad for her, but she is correct.

I don't understand the reason people want a "PvE" server in the first place, unless you just jump on a rotation already being cleared by someone else, people don't just attack unprovoked the vast majority of the time.  I find the "PvE" seasonal servers to be more toxic than the seasonal Arsha server, because people just grind over others, and everyone slows down in gains because no one is getting full value out of anything.
