I'm glad they killed it. Best riddance of this game.

Seriously. Lets rewind. You try to xp barter/mount/fishing. Someone ganks you.
You try to grind 1 hour in day. Someone asks 1000 times to DFS ME PLEASE with zillions gvg buffs. 


World pvp was nothing but unfair grief. It was mainly designed for people who sucked in competive PVP enverioment like Solare. 

World pvp folks = Tiny minority nobody gives **** about.

This is why years after it was killed off it still lives rent free in your head. Maybe it's finally time to let go and touch grass (I heard Crimson Desert has great grass for touching)

Yeah, and it also killed the game. This is the reason why Devs need to ignore threads sometimes lmao.

Listen to this crazy idea: there are those of us who love aos AND owpvp

They are fundamentally different experiences and there is no rule saying you can't enjoy both

This is funny that you still remember dfs, last time it was like 2022-2023?  Tbh i dont see any diference in open world between 2021 and 2026. Today i am grinding and nobody annoys me with stupid dfs and this is nice. In 2021 even if you someone asked me for dfs, in 90% times it was striker or kuno. So much fun playing pvp vs broken in 1 vs 1 classes, when you play for succ sage who is unplayable in 1 vs 1. The most funny thing is, that striker is still broken and didnt get a single nerf since that time, when succ sage nerfed to the ground.

Life skills? Huh? Its not serious even to talk about this.
