I've not posted before but i have to agree with you Tekato(and the other posts here and on reddit about this matter).The approach taken here to force the pvp no matter what just seems punitive.Options and rewarding people for taking part in them is a far better approach in my opinion.
I post because yes i have seen alot of people quit but now i'm about to lose from the game my two friends and teamates as well.
I really do love the game but it just seems the dev team are sat on decisions that are stopping people enjoying it at their own pace.
Good luck all.
