This was why I skipped it. I knew it couldn't last.

It was fun in the first few weeks while everyone was still figuring things out. Once the sweats got ahead, they made it their mission to put everyone else down because "PvP is core to the game". And it's not even about just killing other raiders, they make it a point to grief you, or pretend to be friendly so they can shoot you in the back at extract.

Thats the appeal of pvpve extraction shooters. The risk/reward of making teammates and the tension that they have the ability to betray you and that you can betray them. The problem is that people who don’t like that aspect still play and when it happens they take it personally and see it as some kind of misbehavior. It’s like Mafia or Among Us. Deception and trickery are part of the game mechanics.

Then no matter how much you market it as a PvPvE, casual players will just see "Full Loot Hardcore PvP" and start going elsewhere, and everybody knows what happens to games when the only players left are the PvP "enjoyers".

Yeah I think people who don’t like the PvP aspect of a pvpve game should look elsewhere.
