I am one of those people that can easily slap most (not all) players (648), and am in a PVP/T2-T3 Guild.

Let me tell you my thoughts about PVE vs. PVP vs. PVX.

1.  I dont care if a rotation is contested, even though I can slap the shit out of alot of people or easily feed to mobs and iframe away, I do not do this.  I chat to them, ask questions like "How much time left on your scroll?" and such.  I feel it is very immature and basically bad for the community to go around beating up people over grinding spots.  In fact, many in my guild hunt people who griefed guildies just to let them know its not cool.

2. When seasons servers was around, I enjoyed the hassle free environment.  The PVE server was cool to me.  Sure I could go to a contested spot and maybe not be able to farm as much trashloot per hour as a normal server, but the change of pace; the break from always having to think about PVP; was a fine tradeoff for me.  Somedays I just want to afk in the middle of a grind spot for a few minutes and not worry.. Also the fact I could trade in timeless for Advice of Valks made it a great place. A great reason to make a new character and buy a new costume. 

3. PVE only servers DO work: The catch is that people will just have to accept they may not grind silver as fast as a traditional server.  I think most players would be fine with this trade off.  Lets look at the current situation, Turos.  If you go to regular Turos and hunt for flame its fine, but people are willing to take the risk of increase drop rate and farm it on Arsha knowing they may lose a crystal much easier to PVP.  The point is there is a Risk vs. Reward Tradeoff. This already exists in the game and is not / would not be a new concept. Gear Progression is fundamentally the same decision..  Save and buy or enchance to either gain quickly or lose alot.

Example of Expected Grinding Results with PVE PVX and PVP server.

PVE Only Server - On a good day Same as regular servers; on a crowded day less silvers with the tradeoff of ease of mind / no pvp.

Current Main Servers - On a good day its chill like the PVE one; on a crowded day draw your weapons with the tradeoff you may lose crystals

Arsha Servers - On a good day you go try to take advantage of the increase drop rate and get gains; on a bad day the tradeoff is that you got owned and lost lots of crystals, generally getting your butt kicked in PVP

So you see everything is a trade off. The only absolutly true thing in BDO is that Succ Wiz is broken, and the sea is just overbugged.

For this reason there is nothing wrong with PVE only servers.

PVP Players and PVE Players can never agree:

Well im both so yea there is no side I think is right or wrong.  

I've got enough hours of grinding / lifeskilling / pvp to have over 200b silver worth of gear with lots of time invested. so I think I know what I am talking about when I say

IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT YOUR PLAYSTYLE IS, BDO NEEDS TO BE A GAME THAT IS WELCOMING TO ALL.

Period.

"but but seasons was a trainwreck, dev's cancel it" - yea and rarely do i see crowded servers these days.

"but but go back to wow ff14" - dipshit im already hella geared so that dont work with me; plus i still play ff14 while afk'ing bdo - shut it.

"but but PA designed this as a PVP game" No it says open world MMo with Large scale war

I'm both too, I'm pvpve and that's precisely why I'm against pure pve.

Look, you said it yourself, you're not against pvp but you still decided to go on season server because it was hassle free, a change of pace, a break, you were ready for this trade-off.

Basically, a player like you have still be tempted by pure pve, not by a deep conviction that pure pve is better, but because some things are occasionally more interesting. That's exactly a pvpve mindset, path of least resistance : you have a goal, if pure pve seems more interesting to you sometimes, depending on your mood, available time, moment of the day, you will use it. 

And that's exactly one of the things that bothers me, because during this time, a player like you is effectively removed from the owpvp on regular channels. You're not weak nor against pvp, yet you've been tempted.

And I would prefer a solution that is PvPvE for everyone, but with rules that allow players to control owpvp by themselves... Exactly what your guildies are doing by hunting griefers. A protector system would allow players to be on the "good guys" side and I'm pretty sure that many players would love to participate like this. Using owpvp to control owpvp, with good rules, seems like a better way to act than isolating players on a specific version of the game. 

How about you apply a minimal thought process before typing for once. People so weak they earn 30m an hour get massive gear upgrades since said upgrades are cheap. Then they go to more profitable areas to earn more but their next upgrades cost more. Duh.

Additionally if you educated yourself on the state of the game instead of creeping the boards of a game you don't even play, you would know that any new players as of today can very quickly get for free enough gear to earn 100m/h at Miru.

And thos are just the 2 first fantasy premises, not going to demonstrated the nonsenese of the rest of your post since obviously educating you about BDO serves no purpose since your only interaction with that game is to spit on it constantly.
