Eh, speaking as someone who's been playing since day 1, owpvp has been dead for me ever since mystic released. That class was giga-OP on launch. Fighting them sucked. Infinite superarmor, giga self heals, insane attack potencies, natural magic resist. Everybody made one. That combined with just, the endless AP scaling, the CC resist memes, etc. I see people "mourning the loss" of owpvp every couple of years when PA rolls out some new change to drive the nail further into the coffin. The mode's been a joke for years. If you want a good 1v1 just head to the duel arena or play a fighting game. 

GvGs were a miss for me as well. I know everyone's experience is different but I can't think of a single gvg I turned up for where either side relented in a reasonable period of time and handed the grindspot over. They just escalate, sometimes for hours, while the people who started the war will go to bed irl or change channels. The novelty wears thin real fast imo. I'm sure gvgs helped someone curbstomp somebody else who didn't have the luxury of calling for guild backup, but in the cases I've seen it's just escalated with no end in sight and resulted in wasted time for everyone. Not saying it needed to die, just saying it didn't accomplish much for me or anyone I saw who used it.

This game is dying for peaceful passive players. They definitely want to shape the game as they please. everyone makes the stupid excuse of ARSHA. When Arsha is usually empty. I talk about GVG and fools come out to say that in Arsha I have free PVP. Do you really think removing GVG is a good practice? If you really believe that then I have nothing more to say here, your opinions really don't deserve to be read.

The game is growing since they started designing for normal players and not open wotld "pvpers".

Show me a statistic or you're just making up like 99% of the players do. This game clearly looks emptier than before and you can notice that in the number of people in level areas. You can notice it in the cities. nothing compared to 2016-2020

Pearl Abyss: LETS RESTRICT OPEN WORLD PVP TO GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE TO GRIND! IT WILL BENEFIT OUR COMMUNITY GREATLY!

Also Pearl Abyss: LETS CREATE OUR NEWEST CONTENT THAT ONLY 1% OF THE PLAYER BASE CAN GRIND!

Doesn't make sense to me lol

Are you sure?

And when august many people go to vacation, september is strong month to games. Looks like steam players dont like new changes.

Opening an debate, but beeing not able to dicuss in a good manner. Thats my sence of humor.

I just feel sorry for those PVP player that played fair and really were just defending, because i bet youre one of the reason, the changes had to be done. The way you behave here tells us a lot.

Yea thats the sad part...
