See for me, I know all too well that I'm getting too old for PVP, because back in my day, ppl weren't bunny hopping, zig-zag strafing and doing such janky looking movements around you, just to get a kill, and it's why I believe that "gentlemen's rules" in gaming died around 2 decades ago, because now it seems to be hard coded with "I do whatever it takes to win" (cheating/hacking, abusing glitches, abusing meta, enforcing meta over other players, abusing lag, causing lag).
So far me and my two mates haven't been fully put off SoT, but all 3 of us do absolutely wish we could do PVE in peace. I know the Ai in the game aren't really as hardcore as AI you'd find in other AI based games (seriously, SoT skeleton/ghost Ai give you way too much time to dodge/fight back, unless it's a boss), but we still find it fun to go about killing the Ai, seeking out the treasure and discovering mysteries on each island, and generally taking in the beautiful vistas (the sunrise/sunsets and water in the game is possibly some of the best I've seen in a cartoony style).
My issue lies primarily with devs still continuing to abuse the PVE aspect of PVPVE, in that I am being lured into an AI generated experience, but at the same time, I am being treated as cannon fodder for another type of player's main course, meaning I am their form of content, and my form of content is not really full content that I can enjoy on my own, because any other player can both come in and kill me, while selling the content I just worked hard farming.
I would absolutely love nothing more than for some dev to have the balls to stand up at a GDC event and say "look, I think you're all abusing PVE players in your PVPVE modes, and I feel like you need to give PVE players more love/more space, or allow the two to split from one another, or simply just make a PVP game, if you are going to cater more towards PVP players" (which is what Rare is technically doing, and doesn't want to admit, because we sitll don't have PVE servers or a PVP toggle mode).
I want to play V Rising sometime again, but once again, that is also a PVPVE game, and I really, really did not enjoy having someone come out during the day to cut down every single tree around me, forcing me out into the sun, allowing them to easily finish me off. That just wasn't a fun experience and that was what originally put me off playing anymore V Rising.
PVE is absolutely for me, but devs need to stop abusing my wants and my content to be used as window dressing/bait for me to walk into a cage so PVP players can eat me alive, because that's now respectful, that's disregarding.
Step right up come on in, feel the buzz in your veins, I'm like an chemical electrical right into your brain and I'm the one who killed the Radio, soon you'll all see
So pay up motherfuckers you belong to "V"
