Funcom are finally dealing with some of the wider issues in the MMO Dune: Awakening, which includes expanded self-hosting support and more focus on PvE.
It’s a great solution and the only people that are mad are griefers. It’s turns out PvPers want to have battles between multiple people that have PVP setups willing to fight and PVE players want no part of that. PvP players can KOS anyone and it be considered fair, so they don’t have to be afraid of ruining a peaceful player’s farming. And people who want to play both styles can ignore the PvP farming bonus, farm on PVE and then go to the PvP instance for some combat. Everyone wins, except those who relied on one sided 1v1 or 2v1 ambushes.
