There may be less pk, but there is also less drama.
People enjoy pve, farming building up gears and characters. I do not see anything bad about it.
I would say, there is enough pk. People complain about 2x? In other words people say: "if you won't take our crap and drama , we are going to prevent you from farming. Spamming red letters 24/7 and reducing 2x event from 7 to 2 days, is just not right (In my opinion 4-5 days would be perfect). If it happens, that there will be few 2x events within weeks, so what, let it be. There have been periods with months without any 2x events.
if you people want pk, then do not all join 1-2 strongest faction and search for pk. People have always been cowardly like that, biggest factions always avoided each other, barely had any TWs against each other. Keep a balance and you will have your pk.
Exactly. Not everyone has their momma's credit card to buy everything on a silver plate. Some of us just don't wanna waste rl money on a game when we could buy bread for us or our kids. I prefer farming. And before all of this x2 we had, when is the last time we had x2? Prices increased even before it. People became greedy, thinking this is pv Nova and how we can farm out coins in 5 min for stuffs. If someone wants pvp I can suggest them few servers - Storm, Nova, Syndicate, Vendetta, LMS, BDN. You don't like it here? Simple. Uninstall - download one of those pvp servers. There you can get gear easily without farming so much, or simply donate, then pvp. Also lvling up is fast.
