My opinion on this is that some people that are in guilds behave just the same way.
My opinion on this is that the game needs dedicated pve servers for those uninterested to pvp and then you all will be able to have the duel for spot very special pvp you all want.
PS, to the person who mentioned that people ignore your tent perhaps you forget that there is a toggle to not show others tents which no doubt most people use not to show those ugly tents that spoil your fps and your immersion.
Between the guildless and guilded, guilded players can be decalared war upon. So if a player infringes on another and is beyond reasonable communication, the dispute can still be settled. Guildless players, however, are able to abuse / mis-use the Karma System with impunity because there literally is no consequence for it.
They talked about dedicated PvE servers already. Which they are going to release in the future, I believe. Duel for spot is usually done in contested zones, the zones where end-game GS is required. Potion Pot spots can be contested as well, which is nice that they added more zones to farm the inf. pot tp spread out the players and allow more options and less chance for conflict, if you're not into that.
What pve servers can adress on the other hand, is having players disliking owpvp / pk ( whatever how you call that ) play out of classic server, leaving thoses servers only with players desiring to play according to any owpvp rules set or having the owpvp mindset thoses players prefer.
Which can already be a big pro, even for the pk crowd.
And could allow PA to do very specific owpvp / pk rule changement as they wouldnt need to think about players disliking pk anymore.
But for somes reasons, somes self proclamed owpvp-r here, only consider as valid, the situation where everyone have to agree to play according to their own very subjective importance of "pk" in a BDO journey
(After some time, they're back with the same arguments, yaaaay !)
Justifying the need for regular pure pve channels with the simple will of some players... Quite audacious, but simplistic.
Anyway, if Devs want to change owpvp / pk rules, why would they need to pay a particular attention to these players?
Rules can change and players will have to deal with it. And oh surprise, pk is already part of the rules on regular channels.

It always was part of their concern to care about players disliking pk. They stated it in the early stage of BDO development. 🤷♂️
Yet i understand you refuse to publicly acknowledge this, considering the idea the pk liker try to spread regarding how BDO is such a pvpve game and pk is the meaning of life and every player should s#ck it up.
But every PA action toward pk show what type of players they are prioritizing :
xp loss on death removed, protected guild vs dec, pk at world boss disabled, karma penalty changement, naval pk limitation.. no more pk on Olivia, full pve season + 1Arsha .. etc
And despite whatever what they said ( who even still consider PA words nowdays !? ) they did nothing else than reduce pk action.
( even NewWorld despite the removal of wild pk, took far more care of the owpvp, which is very ironic )
Now, you sure can bury your head into the sand to refuse such evidence, but that's how it is.
If you ever want one day to see any move made ( and not just empty words leading nowhere : remember PA saying they are going to do something against "karmabombing" ? ) toward pk (unless you stick with Arsha) there is not a lot of choice, as we all know who is took care about first
As much as its 🤦♂️ to be entilted to keep such middle ground in the end really pleasing no one ( otherwise you would not have the 'karmabombing" making up, or regular topic about karma, or a part of the player base keep requesting pve servers )

You have a pure-PvE-server. It's called Seasons. There's also another one, Olvia. You have options for pure-PvE.
BDO is a PvX game. It was never designed to be PvE only in the first place. Look at grind zones design = WIDE OPEN. By design, the game is PvX because WIDE OPEN grind zones are a natural encourager of conflict and how said conflict is resolved. BDO since day 1, that should be enough evidence it's a PvX game. You just want what you want, and don't care about repercussions or consequences.
They talked about Private Servers. Where you can pay money to rent a server for you and a bunch of friends to circle jerk with each other. More accomodations to the "PvE only" crowd who ironically play a PvX game.
