To anyone that was disappointed that AGS pivoted from hardcore PVP to more PVE focused with PVP in it

This is why. The shear amount of griefing that happened on DAY 1 of the pvp servers is exactly why. Imagine if the actual game released like this; the game would be completely dead in 2 weeks.

"But oh ma gerrrrd its PVP!!!" - a level 50 running a train on a level 20 is not pvp
