Once again someone trying to label people into a category. Stop trying to place a stamp on people, you are a PvE or PvP player most people are both and neither. People aren't that binary.
I am a pirate, I am an opportunist and at times it is better to flee than to fight based on what I want to achieve, who I am with and my mood. Maybe I am low on supplies, have a ton of loot or just don't think it is worth my time as I am about to call it a night.
Why would I sit there and fight you if I am by myself or just dug up an Athenas while you clearly have nothing to offer me if I beat you?
Why wouldn't I flee to an outpost, sell what I care about and then turn to engage or just sail on cause I don't feel like giving you the fight you want?
I am against PvE servers, but not because I only hunt others... it is because I enjoy all aspects of the game and the mystery of who is behind those sails on the seas and I don't want to choose what types of pirates I come across or that I am from the initial menu.
Posts like this are just as bad, as those asking for PvE servers, because you are asking the community to choose a side PvE or PvP... most of us aren't one or the other. Stop trying to divide and polarize us into camps.
It is bad for the game and provides ammunition of "toxic pirates only out there to ruin my game" for PvE advocates to point at and say see that is what I am talking about.
While in most cases they are being sunk by someone like me, who under other circumstances might have allied them.
