Hello first of all I really like your post.
I am red player and in the end the changes do not really effect me. The only thing that happens is that my other Charakters will be red too, but this will be no big deal after I learned how to survive in citys by placing myself in the dead spots of the guard to interact with the npc's over mousemovement. I really think that the karma system should be rework, for example one of my ideas would be to set the lowest karma down to -1b. That is easy to reach but to get back to normal it really takes you time, instead of grinding an hour at pollys you will need mutch more time then bevor. I don't think that grinding should be the only way to obtain karma back, I would recommend quests where you have to trade a specific amount of trashloot against karma. I really like the idea because if you get penalized for destroying someones grinde you have to pay with the porfit you would make while grinding by yourself (but this only works if the karmasystem works korrekt). Now to the penalty's for being red. After more and more players reach the endgame kristals make a big difference. It is sad that I will always have a big disadvantage against many others, even I have choose this way to play. I would say, to also create more content for reds, that you still lose crystals and that they protect the gear but there will be a very rare item that can be used not on a crystal slot only on a crystal them self to prevent it from shattering in PvP death.

This item can be obtained through questlines, dayly or weakly quest. In these quest you have to kill a specific amount of payers like 1k for example to obtain a rng box where you have a low chance of getting the  item. If the item is connected with the crystal, the crystal can't be sold anymore unless you deconnect the item. If you do that the protection item will be destroyed and have to be regained. This also happens if you go back to positiv karma. This system allows people who are only a short time red to give them the full penalty's and also will let permanent red players have a chance to participate in endgame pvp without a big disadvantages. Another idea I like is the idea of a questline you can start at -1b karma that will lock your character for ever in negative karma and will be permanently and of course I would love to see more red city's and maybe some other content for red players. This is just an idea to the topic and can be worked out more. But in the end I don't think that even if we all have good ideas to fix and overwork the karmasystem, PA will be advice rest instant as always. 

What about someone like me who avoids others' rotations and gets killed because I won't leave upon getting killed?  I don't think your ideas are necessarily bad, but this is a 2 way street

Stop feeding the bad actor trolls! They don't care about people who respect others rotation, that take the time to find a free rotation, but some overgeared sadist comes along to try to push them out of the spot with PK. Instead of either looking for their own spot or going to Arsha. 

People needs to understand what this is. It is in fact a war between predator and prey. Notice how I didn't say a war between PvPers and others. Because this subgroup of gamer are sadists looking to make other people miserable. They feed off the misery of others,  they are not looking for decent fights. They are looking to bully the weak. 

They have been for the longest campaiging to convice the Devs to get rid of the any tool that pushes back against the sadists. Honestly, I think we should not respond to their posts on the forums, and laugh at their crocodile tears. 

Also remember in their eyes they are self entitled to freely bully weakers players out of the game. Because they either no-lifed the hell out of the game, and or the game gave them enough welfare gear to reach endgame easily, and or they have spent massive amounts of IRL money to get to this point. 

Aslo remember in their eyes, other people who don't have the means to fight them don't matter in their eyes. They view those weaker people as fodder whos only purpose is to be griefed for their entertainment.

Remember, we ultimately hold more power then they. For the simple fact, that without us, they have no victims to bully. However, we do not need them in the game to function. They are a scourge to the MMO genre. That causes MMO Dev teams to eventually shutdown the open world forced PvP in MMO. Or end up with Archeage playercount levels of players. I think it's high time MMO Devs teams across the genre stop allowing these sadists to destroy their products.

Go To Arsha

So you think having only one channel is a non troll response? Please elaborate on how this is any kind of a constructive solution to the topic. Why not make one channel with full PVP disabled status and pilots can go there? Or is this just a meme Ecks Dee

No need to follow your suggestion. Let's lobby for better rules on regular channels. 

What rules do you recommend to prevent one guild deccing another guild simply to harass it?  I am curious.  I am living with this right now.  A 740GS sorc perma decced my guild simply to kill lifeskillers.  How would you address that?
