While I am with you in honoring the 900+ players that supported this thread, PA made it very clear with this patch that they don't care about the voting system and user opinion on the forums. They have said in the past that we should voice our concerns, however, they have fallen on deaf ears.

          Unfortunately, the only real way to speak to them in hopes that they will listen is with both your wallet and your time. I understand that the OW PvP community may not be quite as numerous as the Life Skill/PvE community, however, it's still a very significant number of players regardless (likely also the most passionate about the game as well).

          It's been fun, it saddens me to see PA shun such a large group of players over a knee-jerk reaction and disregard for the people that play their game and voice their opninions.

gg all

edit: spelling/formatting fixes.

Just passing by to try to increase the numbers.
Marni would already solve the issue, would be good if PA would revert the dec system.

Worst change of the game ever: There are so many better solutions. For example make it as most other mmos. Make half pvp (no karma system) half pve servers (no pvp) and be done with it!!!!!

PS: U can still keep ONE server like arsha ppl fight for drop rate increase buff. But for what i am proposing i dont mean every pvp server should have a drop rate increase.  Just that everybody can chose what he/she wants :)

I dont even get it why they changed it when the marni hour change was also coming. Now you can basically grind 100% in piece on your spot without having to dfs or be in danger of getting killed by some war guild or idiot that PKs for fun. So who does this change protect? 

The players that come on a spot in use, and decide that this is now their spot and grief instead of dfs, looking for another channel or go into the private spot. They choose deliberate to be a problem and they are getting protection???

I understand that some guilds got harassed by guildwars from other guilds. So just let guilds decide if they want to be a pve or a PVP guild. PvP Guilds get to participate in PvP content like NW, Sieges and open World PvP with guildwars....and the rest cant. Problem solved without bulling the PVP community more and more.
Or as others already said: 50% non pvp channels and the rest without karma loss...also Problem solved. Especially with the private hour on top of that, who can say they are forced into pvp? 
Ppl still feel harassed at bosses? Easy fix, make the are of Bosses and Fieldbosses a non pvp zone as long as the boss is alive + 30s after so everyone can claim their loot. 
Ppl still complain for getting spawn killed while trying to escape, ez, just spawn nearest city. 

There are so many solutions to the whole harassment problem, but PA choose the one that made the littlest positiv change while hurting the PVP community the most. 

Well, What we have been gifted with, at least, is the fact that all our respective predictions were correct.
Their solution to griefing in Open world has lead to the "Open world" being more or less swept out of the gameplay equation.
Now we all get to play in our little bubbles while we ignore the fact that this is allegedly an "MMO"RPG.
Meanwhile, the places outside of our bubbles will be, without any real recourse, a great feeding ground for any and all griefing any so-inclined player would feel the want or need to do.
Karma still needs a rework, Group spots are still entirely griefable, and Solo spots are still solo only, which is the core cause of griefing in the first place.

I mean, really, unless they do something else with the situation, the game has ceased being an -MMO-RPG, where the only places you'll really get to feel that "MMO" aspect being the highest gear-gated content in the game with Castle Sieges, which, let's be honest, 80% of new players won't get to anyway.

Im so glad that only my guild master can now accept decs what a wonder full system. Lets hope he dosent go on vacation or take a brake. Better make sure he can be on the game 24/7.
