    The core idea is "People competing against each other to score from a damage-based objective". People play it to a safe extreme and only try to attack the ice and retreat to safety besides.

    If anything, Shatter itself isn't wrong. The ways people try to play it is.

    That's false though, players are encouraged to play it that way because it's the considerably safer option unless you're part of a premade. There's a reason why such a game mode doesn't exist in any of the more successful PvP MMORPGs. If an objective in PvP revolves around doing damage, it should be damage dealt to players, e.g. Capture The Flag or player-oriented objective control (pick up and defend/survive).

    Having fun with Shatter is perfectly fine but pretending that it isn't a badly designed PvP mode is just silly.
