Petition to move Open PK area to Cave of Sadistic Glee

Okay, with the newest changes to SP a lot of sides have raised some very valid issues. PWE has split the playerbase between PVE and PVP, which I feel is very unnecessarily. Ultimately, I feel that it is very important to respect and maintain both styles of gameplay and not lock others out of a specific style of gameplay based on personal preference.

Fact:

1) PKers have long wanted an instance where they could PK freely without having to worry about dropping items. They have needed an area that would facilitate this type of gameplay as drop stealing from blue named players is a particularly common occurrence and they have no way to stop them from doing so if they dropped.

2) Many people play this game and read the games text. They want to level their characters utilizing quests and see everything the game has to offer. This includes high levels. To them it's important to finish their characters, this includes doing the 99 cultivation and getting all of their skills.

3) The game needs to encourage new players to enjoy the gameplay. This includes PVP protection (the game reads that you can't be PKed below level 30) and the ability to complete the quests in their logs at least until they have more free options available. Many people will not spend money until they have a good idea of the game, this does not mean that they aren't potential customers just because they aren't able to afford thing such as powerlevelling services.

4) New content in this game is lacking, and many instances are completely ignored.


One such instance is the Cave of Sadistic Glee. I propose that the Open PK environment be moved to this instance. Not only would it give players a reason to see an area of the map that is often ignored and bring new life to an otherwise neglected instance, but it would satisfy the needs of all players. There is no cultivation quests/OHT map quests (however you choose to see the quest for silver frost) in this cave. In fact, there is only a quest to get an orb that you must coordinate with other players to complete and that is it. It doesn't offer anything content wise at all really, which is why people choose to skip it. It would be amazing to have this revitalized into a new PVP instance. Futhermore the only quests that are in it are for people already in their 80s, who would thusly stand a much better chance of completing the quests should they so choose. Heck more people may actually do the quest since it involves a team effort of switching around around orbs, as there would be people around them to help them and would offer a nice little reward for trying out PVP.


It would also be something that new players wouldn't know about it or authopath toward, so they would not be turned off by having the frustration of being rPKed at low levels (Lower than PK should be enabled, I might add) and give up because they feel they have to spend real money to do anything in the game. It would allow PvE players to complete their cultivation without having to be PKed. It would give PvP players the instance they have been dreaming of for ages. I can't think of any group that would be disadvantaged by this, except maybe PvE completionists who actually do use that cave (I camped there one day grinding 70s dq items and only saw 6 other people the entire day) but you can't please everyone. I guess, another group that would be disadvantaged would be people who just want to PK level 29 and below on a PVP server but frankly that kind of harassment shouldn't be allowed anyway.


Edit:

As for the arena, I admit this would be a better location. From what i can tell though, they decided to take away the arena permanently for whatever reason. From it's bugged, to they wanted to reserve it solely for PW PK related tournaments and events, I've heard a variety of reasons tossed around but I wasn't around when it happened so I don't know what the official answer as to why the arena is so impossible. Since it does indeed appear to be impossible to use it, I merely suggested this as an alternative because that instance is mostly dead. It's not needed for cultivation and the only quest you get in there is a pretty rare one because you have to coordinate with a squad of people to switch around orbs. I wasn't aware of the divine contract in there, but if they are going to take away a PVE instance it's a relatively small thing to give up compared to say Silver Frost and the ability of low levels and new players to get acquainted with the game in peace.
