With the recent changes about Wars, the behaviour of many players changed competely. We already had players griefing or trying to mob feed you for fun, but now it's even worst.

The idea of Pearl Abyss about the war's changes was to get rid of harrasment from a guild to another due to spot's stories or idiot behaviour. The idea was understable, we all experienced this kind of stuffs, when you had a big drama for nothing because one player said he was first one the spot, and the one is claiming he was the one.
Sadly, Pearl Abyss choosed to not doing any serious improvements, claiming this choice was the best one they could do. And, players are actually going at endgame spots, mostly with a Berserker Succession to grab you in the middle of the monsters and let you die.

Of course those players don't lose anything since they can remove their crystals preset, but you, the one grinding, you can lose big because the game doesn't allow to swap crystals preset while moving, and even if you could, you have to summon the Black Spirit and go to the menu, remove the preset and you won't do it in time.

Since this change, the toxicity is even worst than before. I got the issue many times lately. Last night a Berserker tried to kill me during the animation of the Flamen I was supposed to kill. Sadly for him, he is the one who lost. But I know he lost nothing since he already removed his crystals.
After that of course, he removed his whole gear in case I was going to attack him by my own and lose Karma, once again sad for him, I'm not a fool when I see I removed 60% with a grab.
I even got that today with a friend, geared players, removed their whole evasion gear to bomb your karma because they have not guts to active their own PVP while they grief.


It's really to sad that Pearl Abyss must be proud of the fact that the number of wars went from a lot to almost zero. They must be really happy, but I bet they are ignoring that the karma system is totally outdated.
Since the first announcement of the changes, players did a lot of feedback, all around the world, but seems like they don't care.

Killing of player results of 120-160K karma lose with a total of only 300K karma positive. Karma should be 3 Millions now, even more. Same for negative one. So we could have the chance to maybe defend ourself.
Or maybe bring back the old karma lose, 30K.
This starts to be annoying.
