That would work well.

I've seen people argue against pretty much every facet of content in this game including dungeons and trials, so if all the parts of the game that a player has said should be removed were actually removed, then there would be no game at all.

As for the topic, I disagree with the removal of PvP. Yes, the PvP could be better and there are some changes I feel need to be made such as the removal of GC restrictions, but I would take what we have over nothing at all.

Changes I would like to see.
- Removal of GC restrictions for teams in PvP. They can still keep the GCs as the teams to differentiate but that shouldn't stop members from say the Flames being placed on the Maelstrom team for Seal Rock.
- Improved queueing system to go along with the removal of GC restrictions. The instance for a PvP match is generated and people zone in once the minimum number of total players, regardless of GC, is met. Upon hitting the min number and the instance popping, the pool of players is then evenly divided at random (with role distribution factoring in) amongst the three teams insuring a more even distribution of team members for each team at the start of a match. Preformed groups will of course be assigned to the same team.
- More PvP types, in particular a "Siege" type where the three teams have to destroy the opposing teams' fortresses and other fortifications to win. This mode would include the use of Magitech walkers similar to Praetorium, with the caveat that they are weak against players but very powerful against fortifications, requiring the strategic deployment and usage of them.
