Was xp loss in pvp a good idea?

This is part of what is making me quit also. That the top plateau of population was reached when we were hitting 350 at peak.

Nobody but the most rare of masochist will deal with the pve grind PLUS losing exp vs twinks against which he has barely any chance to win over. Thats what any new blood to the server will have to deal soon, if not now.

So not only is the lack of pvp is making it suck for me, its knowing that unless the ruleset changes, this is the best that its going to get.

I doubt it will change, so im quitting while im ahead and didnt invest alot of time in a server im not going to enjoy in the short and long run.

Why bother racing to 50 when i know most people dont enjoy pvp (whatever the fuck they say) and they will be the core pop staying for the long run and can be expected to flee at the first death on my alt?
