I've heard trhat some people have discovered a way to gank in the pve areas.
This idea is rubbish "Just make the PvE zones low rewards", why we get decent rewards on the pve server, why would we want rubbish on your server.
Just so we can be mauled again by the coward fleets waiting outside ports.
When I first started in this game back in 2014, we had little round circles to play in and a total of I believe 6 ships, it was fun up to a point (lack of updates). Then I got bored, left the game for a year and came back to see that I was in pvp, where I stayed for the next year or so, was good fun until the last month or so when the rubbish players arrived, who couldn't sink a paper bag solo, so they congregated in fleets and picked on the noobs and solo warriors, how exciting for them, "Hey guys we sank a yacht" yippeeee and they did, but with 25 1st rates, how glorious they must have felt to actually kill something. Then I joined a clan, which made it great again for a few months as we went out looking for the people who ganked (yes we knew who they were) but they vanished like willow the wisp, until everyone got bored again. Thats when I joined pve, where everyone is fine and we can all chat like humans. I would love to go back to pvp, but not while its full of cowardly gankers, who only pick a 25-1 ratio in battles.
