Read Lucas' post. The game just can't compete on PvP front. Look at all the vets playing world of warships etc. The new people willing to go all out on PvP are a very small percentage. And why would they? If you play e.g. Dota you get calibrated and no matter how bad you are, you will win at least 40% of your games, with vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of players will have 45-55% winrate over their lifespan.
I know what I am talking about, the "git gud" people that use numbers and skill to quash opposition without willing to get to situations that account for skill difference and hit that sweet spot of 50% winrate on either side is a massive reason why new non-roleplay oriented guys quit the moment they get bored of farming and try to move to PvP.
You don't have to like it, but this is what's happening - I understand people don't care, and many are proud of their side winning 90%+ of fights, all I can do is do my part.
