This is the most pathetic excuse for a change ive ever seen. It gives griefers way more freedom to just grind over you. It kills open world pvp conflicts because lets be honest most pvp starts off one sided but that doesnt mean the entire conflict is one sided. Expecting them to make arsha use karma next.

The company doesnt care about pvpers and gives us nothing to do with our gear and gives no incentive to even get more at this point. Rewards for pvpers have always been abysmal, progression for pvpers has always been painful. Balancing, server issues, desync all things they promised they would fix they just put on the back burner and forgot about. 

If you enjoy running in circles for hours on end to run in more circles with different colours for hours on end then this game is for you, if you enjoy pvp or want a reason to be stronger through gear in pvp this isnt the game for you anymore and its been slowly killed off for the longest time.

This kills my drive to play the game theres no reason to get gear now  why would u need to most nodes are capped the ones that arent people cant get enough people cause politics, rbf has wierd stat caps an buffs an can't balance teams, solare isnt even up all year, karma system makes fighting impossible, arsha has so few people an has high gear people jumpin low gear grinders no real group fights so honestly open world gvg was all that was left an backing up your guild was the only drive to get gear without that its pointless cause now you cant stop a geifer now theres no going to help a guildie with a dec and guilds can freeze you out in nodewars and now  in gvg's if they want to no content no reason whats the point if u play for pvp? they are going to push there player base away for new players who will quit in a month or two..

100% agree, gvg was the last form of pvp that was actually open and free, unless you count arsha which most of the time is dead and barely anyone wants to fight you they just want the drop rate. Extremely sad to see PA continue to make desicions that drive away pvpers considering they've made some other good content changes in recent months.

I guess we will all have to learn to be decent people in game now.

I will wait for your post to complain here first about getting outran on your rotation. Grinding or lifeskilling. Good luck. 

As to not waste other people's time by griefing their spots or taking a spot you can't defend?

Wasn't that already the case?

Yes, as in that.  Not all pvers disrupt others' rotations.  

Well it was already the case, and now there is zero tools to enforce it.

long live marni, haters gonna hate!
