Nah... it's this: Full PVP OPEN NO SAFE ZONES VS Open PvP with few/small safe zones.
It's not pve vs pvp.
It's people that read: "...not pvp centric..." from jooky's interviews and then those that say "This is a PvP game".
Most of the complaining is actually the pvp centrists as the current Prelude is what they want changed.
I actually like pvp more than anything and say that whatever happens happens, but after reading countless posts and interviews I see this game as different in ruleset than DF and MO and will take the game as they give it to me.
