Why does it feel like I have been through this before? It's because I have.
I've played a somewhat similar game called Tibia. In tibia there are different servers. You can kill other players, but they can still re spawn with a penalty to their stats. Lose levels and stats etc when dying. A thing that we did in Tibia was unite all the strongest guilds and form something called "dominando". We would smite and gank people 24/7 with bots on Teamspeak notifying of login of any enemy of the dominando. We had cross realm discords with spawn claiming and roles. We had people with 5-6 bot accounts farming stats and levels all day long for 365 days a year. We would average hundreds of levels before anyone else and no one would dare to do anything. We had 100% total domination over 7-8 servers in a big huge alliance. It was all about power, nothing about "pvp-action". If anyone at all outside of alliance even said a bad word, stole a mob respawn, got in our way, was at the wrong place at the wrong time, or just looked at us funny, we would kill them on the spot. Big leaders from every server always cried that there was a couple of "safe" zones that people were protected from PVP inside, like the bank, spawn temple and boat trips. They would literally spam the forums to remove them and cry constantly about them not being able to power abuse to the extent they want. I know this shit first hand, i did the sins of power abusing, I ordered it, I did it for many years and I've talked to 100's of pvpers and leaders and they all do it because they like the feeling of power. The botters prolly cared most about the IRL money they got for trading all the high level shit they had for IRL-cash or the equivalent of "hats" in haven.
Now I see the exact same repetition happen here. With all the big alliances allying themselves together with literally no force to strike back at all. How do you expect pvp when you're outnumbering everyone else with a huge margin both in numbers and stats?
The end goal here I don't feel like is pvp content. It's total undeniable control over the map to show everyone you're the best of the best. Power trip galore.
If you are looking for pvp content. Fight then, but pvp content isn't drifting around in a knarr killing sprucecaps or 5v1ing unsuspecting people in dugouts 6 hours a day.
And yeah, I know HH did it last world, doesn't make it any better if you do it.
