Yes, I do not know English. There was no need.
There is need to know English if you're having a discussion in English on a forum of which the main language is English.
You completely misunderstood my point. The game is based around being able to do what you want and getting into conflicts with players who want the same thing you want. This is obvious - what with localized resources, limited gold nodes, realm claims being limited to only 1 realm in an area, the game is made to create conflict between free players.
The natural hierarchy of power is created by time spent in the game, and cooperation with other players who spend time in the game. The players who do these will necessarily be on top. If the hierarchy of power were removed, there would be no incentive to work or cooperate and the game would turn into a boring farmville with much less and much more boring PvE content. Thus, the hierarchy will stay in the game.
As for how to play the game as a noob - if you're unwilling to spend a lot of time in the game, then you have 2 choices - cooperate with groups that do, OR be at their mercy, where they are capable of destroying you and your settlement whenever they want because of how much more powerful they are.
If you are unwilling to cooperate with the strong players, again, you have 2 choices - spend a lot of time in the game (a LOT of time), or again be at the mercy of people who do spend time and cooperate.
The nature of the game is conflict, cooperation and time investment. If one could choose to avoid conflict, cooperation and time investment and not be able to get destroyed by stronger players, simply because he wishes that, then the whole point of the game would collapse.
TL;DR: Optional PvP is not and should not be a thing.
