Well @weinerthezon, I need to agree and disagree with you.
Everything you said is true, But that alone isn't destroying the PvP.
As you said (and it's the truth) you are part of the Top 1% server. And why do you join with the other Top 1% server?
You and your staff need to understand that there is room in the game for all people gears/level, just every portion of the server fight where it's fair and fun. Low-gears Vs. Low-gears; Mid-gears Vs. Mid-gears; "Top 1%" vs. "Top 1%".
Why do not you face this truth and seek the fun?
Listening to people who are clearly killing the PvP, which is what ncsoft's been doing. This is a bleeping hypocrisy. (Sorry for the offense.)
These people do not want PvP.
These people want to WIN. (It is slightly different)
These people want the "trashtalk".
These people want to dominate the entire server and does not make room for anyone to have fun, including themselves.
My clan is Low/Mid-gears. If I take my clan (2-3 pts) to any castle in the game, it will instantly pop up all "Top 1%" of the server to crush and brag about it in the chat. Because this is the fun. That's what matters. CHAT.
I consider you an excellent player. When you decided to leave MS (for whatever reason) I had a hope. But you and Scoobz made me miss it again. Sad.
Please, do not tell me that it's Nova's fault. or it's because "the server does not come together". It's very comfortable to say that in your "Top 1%" position and not have the guts to go get the fun.
(Sorry, my bad english. It's not my native language, it's just an effort.)
