Having reached out to both you and Sawrock in regards to people's fatigue, and to discuss things regarding your antags in a reasonable and polite fashion. To wake up the next day and find a forum post bemoaning antagonism and the lack of freedom or how hard you must work to get anything of value from Korvara.
I can't help but feel some type of way. Not all positive.
I will address the gaping chest wound. But I do feel that antagonists and conflicts on G6 were easily vetted, and you were given a greater volume of choice in regards to who, what, and where you engaged with it. Many people will gripe over the clique-ish nature of player homes, and the segregated manner of G6 SL2. But it provided a great deal of safety for people who were not here to engage with the random Polk, Sawrock or general antagonist gank.
While I understand your own frustration. I feel as though some thought and consideration is not being spared for the general populace that you're engaging with. Not everyone wants what you do, and to break it down to terms as simple as "Winning" or "Losing" in PVP disregards the collaborative nature of storytelling and roleplay. Where the PVP is only there to act as a mechanical expression at the tail end of the story. And ideally would not be needed as conflict would resolve as the story and authors dictated via trust.
I respect your need to step away and I wish you well. But I can't help but feel uneasy that attempts made politely in private have escalated into a very big and public forum post. Though you did not specifically target I, or anyone, and I can imagine it was not your intent. The vibe does not abide against the surface check.
Regardless, as with all people I do hope you are well, and that the break does your stress and such some good. I am enjoying myself thoroughly, but I understand that I am but one man among many.
