All the game needs is a sheriff/bounty system to keep the uber geared people in check.

You don't speak for "MANY" players. Literally, the amount of dislikes you recieved along with all the dislikes the 5 people in here who agree with you recieved tell us that "MANY" don't agree with you nor anyone in here.

If there are so rarey players interested of non pvp systems, what is the fear you deal with? Fo example, If there would be just PVE only Servers, do you fear the normal servers would run empty? I really wonder why pvp players have such fears of a normal pve server or any other lifeskiller protection. If it is like you say, that only a very few are for it, and a lot are against it, then nothing would happen for you personaly, as you probably never meet those ingame that take the protection. PA should clearly start to test things out, like a PVE only Server, like there is a PVP Server too. And all are happy. One of the reason why that original post received so many dislikes is, that real toxic pvp players, that love to kill weak lifeskillers, are more active in the forum, since a lot lifeskillers just gave up to fight for any change and mostly dont even join the forum. Thats the reason why i always say, this forum means nothing nor does it really reflect the thoughts of the comunity. Because a Forum Account is fast done for dislike or like things 50 times, by just one head. But ah well PA knows it all sooooo much better XD Good Luck to the original thread poster.

No honestly. Why would you ever want a pve only server? This game is beyond brainless and repetitive in pve. Pvp is the spice that makes the sh1t burger tolerable. You have 1 hour/day of mathematically correct grinding. It's also the only interraction you have with other players. Do you honestly think this game can compete with any other mmo out right now on PVE alone? If you do, they've got you hooked on that sunk cost fallacy. Copium runs throu your veins. 

This image is for you, buddy.

There is no "fear".  Just knowledge on reality.  The game is not designed for pure PVE, period.

The developers said it themselves:

"The PK system needs to be improved. New Adventurers or fearful Adventurers are too scared to play."
Black Desert is an open-world game designed to allow you go anywhere, and let’s you freely enjoy your choice in playstyle. However, the level of freedom goes up, it means other Adventurers are able to interfere in the adventures of others as you stated. But there are a variety of safeguards put in place that don’t compromise the fundamental freedoms of the game.

First of all, there are many safe zones spread around, including towns and cities, the inability to PK characters under level 50, and the growth server Olvia has forced PvP mode turned off. In addition, we created an environment where Adventurers who recklessly PK are imposed with disadvantages that makes it difficult to harass an Adventurer. On the other hand, for adventurers who want to enjoy PK, we are continuing to develop a variety of PVP content, along with the Battle Arena, Red Battlefield, Arena of Arsha, Node War, Conquest War, and the desert itself.

We will continue to think about ways to make your adventures more enjoyable.

Am i right, that you do care for PVE Players, because they could get to fast bored of PVE / Lifeskilling, because PVP is a seriously must be? Well, what about let them think and talk for their own? The PVE comunity isnt that rare as some are trying to tell us here. And it doesnt even need to be PVE Server only, it could be also a special PVP protection by wearing Lifeskill Stuff or something else. And thanx to OldWorldMonk by remember me on that phrase: Than just play something else. If even now PA doesnt realize who is the toxic game destroying comunity, i dont know. Because who ever wrote this, and i have read it many times, just wants that this game dies. Because someone who really wants this game to be a success would be happy that every single player stays, and would think about what the solution could be for both sides. I for myself i would never join any PVE only Server (Only by doing the Seasons but even there i prefer the PVP Server XD) nor do i need any special protection. But that doesnt mean that i ignore the voices of the unhappy ones. And as i wrote before, its not that rare as peoples are trying to tell us here.  And again, this Forum doesnt even reflect the thoughts of the comunity. Only because PVP Peeps are more ative here doesnt mean they are the big comunity. In the forums, maybe, but for shure not ingame. So at the end i have just two questions:

1. What exactley are you all fearing?

2. If PVP is that cool, why Arsha and Season PVP are almost empty? Because i do mostly Seasons on PVP Server since i can lvl up there in peace. And Horses were at a time more easier be found on Arsha than anywhere else.

That's not fear, that's boredom.

Everytime a new face comes here thinking he has reinvented the wheel and makes what he thinks a wonderful suggestion, while being very confident about how much money it would bring to PA's pocket without any hard evidence, everytime PA says "nope". It's been almost 7 years if we count the beta.

Even when concessions are made, like Marni's realm, they are not happy. And ultimately, they end up leaving anyways. Why ? Not because of openworld PvP, but because they ultimately realize that the only purpose of gearing and investing 1000's of hours in this game is actually PvP, since, and that's unfortunate,  PvE is this game is shit, can be summarized by "run in circle solo, killing the same AI's for thousands of hours", and has no other purpose than to stretch the played hours number quite artificially. Pearl Abyss is shit at designing PvE (at designing period), and they showed it numerous times, since nothing they added to the game since release besides grindspots really stuck. What keeps the player that are still here is mainly sunk cost fallacy, nothing more.

Oh and don't worry, whether we like it or not the game will die sooner or later. Seemingly when a new MMO with better graphic and action combat comes out (the 2 strongest selling points of BDO), and it seems that there were quite a bunch announced at the last G Star. PA took their shot when the market was stagnant, during the mid 2010's, and benefited from the wow factor of the graphical edge of their game. It was quite clever on their part and they arrived on the market at the best timeframe possible. But now the big boys, NC Soft first of all, come back in town and new challengers enter the arena (like PA did 10 years ago if we refer to the beginning of the development of BDO) while said PA is currently struggling to develop their new games (which have recently been pushed back again, like DokeV or Crimson Desert, or are lost in limbo like Plan 8) and most of all their new engine, which is already obsolete compared to nowadays standards, what the competition will use on their products (mostly UE5, which has made enormous progress compared to the last iteration on the back-end side, regarding the workflow and QoL for the developpers and their productivity as much as the general performances). They're not in such a comfortable place that they were in some times ago, PvE server or not, and their last financial reports tend to show it.

And just because you think the PvE is shit that automatically makes it so? Okay then, by that logic I think the PvP is shit. Does that make it so? Nope, because even though I don't care for PvP a lot of others do, and vice versa. Have you never heard the old saying "one man's trash is another man's treasure"? A lot of folks may not mind that seemingly endless grind you speak of, many of those may even enjoy it. You don't enjoy the PvE, that's fine. Myself and others do enjoy the PvE...also fine. PvP is not the only aspect of this game as there is plenty of stuff to do, so it is not the glue holding this game together. A big part of the game yes..but not the entire game itself, just saying. Oh and I'm not new to the game, only the forums soo...yeah, Imma leave that right here for ya.

And we're saying it's a bad idea to seperate the playerbase and at the same time go against the game's concept. Who in reality doesn't listen to the other? That kind of filming is already known to me well enough trying to say "someone is afraid.".

It's not convincing. And facts are facts. They speak for themselves. It doesn't hurt to get informed first, before giving any suggestions.

There are means to avoid PvP even on the normal servers.
