But people wanting pvp removed or radically watered down arent doing it with the good of the game in their thoughts
So they don't deserve to have their opinions heard? I'm not a pvp player but I don't want pvp removed, I've even offered some rather amiable solutions/compromises yet the same thing happens to me..
I actually enjoy PvP (true PvP that is, not hitting someone who is offline, unbuffed, or wearing epics). When I was OSBH, my favorite part was sitting on the BB, and changing set-ups.
So, while I consider myself a leveler, I do not PvP removed from the game. But the good of the game is an opinion. You see the current PvP system as good for the game because you enjoy it. Others see it as bad for the game because they do not enjoy it. What I think is good for the game is are the current PvP mechanics fair (such a loaded word to use)? Do PvP players have an inherent advantage over other players in the game? I think that under the current system, PvP players do have an advantage over players that enjoy Leveling. I am not saying that the new changes are the right thing to do, but I do think that PvP needed to be changed. Now we will have to see what happens. If these changes are 'bad', then the cows can change them back or make different changes.
Of course, all this is moot, because what ultimately matters is what the Cows see as good for the game
