    Asking this question shows a complete lack of understanding of why exp is rewarded at all.

    All the rewards of PVP arn't there for the people who like PVP.

    Every single bit of reward, every good thing from it, is there as BAIT.

    People who like PVP like it for the intrinsic rewards of pvp.

    Everything else is bait.

    The bait draws in players who don't like pvp.

    These people are normally bad at pvp.

    This gives people who like pvp easy kills of people who are bad at pvp.

    This gives them even more of a power fantasy and makes PVP even better for the people who like PVP.

    Take away the rewards, it takes away the bait, it takes away the easy kills, and pvp players only have other people of similar skill level to play against. This makes them not get as many wins, and they stop being happy.

    based on this assertion im probably in the minority where i dont like easy kills, i prefer the challenge, as for the rest i dont think thats the case considering the Garo event saw an explosion of participation in which in order for people to get their mounts they needed to win, and if you look at stat websites the mounts have a relatively high acquisition rate however i do agree about rewards = bait but that can be said about anything

    Tbh, I personally never liked the carrot of the stick structure. Based off the feedback I am in the minority but I prefer harsher competition verse easy kills. Maybe having a team queue would be enough sure it might rarely pop.
