I was excited to hear that there was going to be a PvP event, and I’m less than thrilled with how it turned out in the end.
I didn’t like how there was only one star on the XC and that all the major rewards were on the leaderboard, and you pretty much had to only hit players and give up a week’s worth of hunt drops to have a chance of getting on it, which I didn’t consider worthwhile.
Since there was no cash protection and inactive players were equally valid targets, there was no incentive to engage with active players and I haven’t been hit even once. The rational thing to do was to find an inactive farm at the bottom of your hitting range and hit only them, which is about as banal as hitting parties and cuts out the fun parts of PvP.
I’d consider past PvP events to be much more engaging, and this feels like a step backwards.
