@pinkkarma834915 said in PVP is basically mandatory:

The reason they don’t want separate modes is because the game was designed around the ability to commit piracy.
If you enable the players to choose PvP on or off all of the time, you take away so much potential to commit piracy.
And that’s the primary reason why they flat out refuse to add a PvE mode that’s available all of the time.
If they add it as an optional event that only lasts for 3 days a season, they are still accommodating all of the thousands of players who have requested an adventure mode without PvP but without hurting the potential to commit piracy 96.7% of the time per year.
They aren't interested in doing that.
This is a pirate game. In a pirate game you can be robbed, sunk, and blown up. That comes with the territory that is what players, including me, need to understand by logging on.
I'm not a big fan of the cqc aspect of this game but that doesn't matter or the pvp really in general but I recognize what the game is and is not.
Every time I boot the game, I can easily find myself having to engage with that content because that is what it means to be a shared world game.
If I really do not wish to engage, then I should not play.
PvE only players need to realize this and stop asking for modes which violate this principle of the game. It is growing tiresome seeing these threads daily and they are all the same at their core. They don't like PvP, so they seek to remove it in some fashion. This is not that kind of game, it won't be that kind of game, and these modes will not be added.
The game is simply not built for it at its core design philosophy and mechanics.
SoT is a shared world game and really at the end of the day if someone doesn't like that, then perhaps the game is not for them and it would be best if they recognize that and move to another game better suited to what they are looking for.
