PVP has to wait for its turn in the bathroom after big bro MSQ showers, Raid brushes her teeth, and Crafting puts on her make up.
Extremely shortsighted. PvP, if good, is great for further play after completing something one and done like MSQ, or doing the same no difficulty raid over and over, for a bugged out glamour. Once you have your weekly item, and glamour. There is nothing else to do. I suppose the people who like idle games can play their snore-fest crafting, but good PvP can keep a community going beyond that - All they need is a good base to start from.

At the moment nobody can even play PvP with the removal of 8v8v8, whether it was good or not. Whether people wanted to play or not, getting 72 players together is not a small ask. Completely backwards to remove this all because of "win trading". SE takes the lazy route and carpet bombs the mode instead.

What will happen with new map is, it will be a gimmick for a week, maybe 2, then it will be the same as it is now. The mode completely dead until prime time for a few hours a night.
