I always see new world thrown out as a sign PVP is going to die without regard for the 2/3rds of the player base who do not play on PC and for whom new world is entirely irrelevant.
But really, rather than removing a game mode that many still enjoy, despite the issues, you can always not play it. For example, I found I was not enjoying the work like effort required to progress with DLC Trial groups, so I stopped participating in that aspect of the game. It's a large game. It's ok if some parts are not for everyone. No need to petition the removal of those parts of the game when they can be avoided.

... I think Zos should just pull the plug on this game's pvp. Just outright get rid of it. Whatever they have planned, if they had a plan to begin with.

You're not wrong, but you are hitting at the core of the problem.
In PvE trials, players have to actually be skilled and practice to be effective. In PvP, you can just slap on some gear and with little effort required have a high level of effectiveness.

I agree with your point about PVP being much lower skill than PVPer try to project and it is mostly about builds/cheesy combos and running and hiding etc than SKILL. But I think we can say the same thing about trial PVE, you got some dude who crutches a bunch of numbers, tells every exactly what gear and skills to use, and DD practice over and over on a dummy to do the same thing over and over until it is second nature. At a certain point skill has nothing to do with it, it's just brainless repetition, don't you agree?
That's what I dislike about PvE, you need to be skilled in repeating the same rotation over and over with the highest accuracy possible while reacting to predictable mechanics. It requires a lot of practice, coordination between team members, and the result is usually predictable and/or out of your control.Joy_Division wrote: »In PvE trials, players have to actually be skilled and practice to be effective.

What does SKILL actually mean in a game like this? Getting down a perfect rotation on an unmoving target? Knowing how to position and interact with lots of enemy players?

In PvE you definitely have a low bar for getting into, much in the same way as PvP.I agree with your point about PVP being much lower skill than PVPer try to project and it is mostly about builds/cheesy combos and running and hiding etc than SKILL.
