Problem is with PVE only players is that they don't realize.
1. This game will not survive as PVE only. No matter how much you want it, just won't happen.
2. PVE only gameplay ( in NA) is almost 0 risk. No risk of getting sunk and losing ships, no reason to replace them, which leads to boring and tedious gameplay, which leads to empty servers( aka PVE only server)
