Reminds me of all the black temple geared dudes that got owned in arena, pretended they never tried and said it was for "spregs".

But on a serious note, divide out the PvE/PvP servers. A majority of people (Sturgeon's Law) want to be tabbed out of game while medding and largely not aware of their surroundings when farming. Get that 99 billion served, funds the game better for the "tit suckin sickos". Even the most toxic, ammoral people who only found joy in making others miserable couldn't handle a server with pvp item loot in my experience. I know some raw pvp talents that simply "won't play it" because even they can't handle that level of risk and reward, so we are talking a small minority within a minority which I am glad to admit.

Even Turtle WoW where almost anyone serious I talked to "was a grand marshall gladiator" got griefed off in a few hours of STV insanity and it was definitely rough.

1. Dividing PvE and PvP servers: The speaker suggests separating PvE and PvP servers. This likely means having different servers for players who want to engage with the game’s environment and content (PvE) versus those who want to engage in combat with other players (PvP).
2. Sturgeon’s Law: This refers to the idea that "90% of everything is crap." The speaker uses this to imply that most players are casual and prefer to "tab out of the game" (i.e., minimize the game or multitask while playing) when farming or meditating, and they’re not really focused on the in-game environment. The suggestion is that most players don’t want intense PvP or high-stakes gameplay while performing mundane tasks in-game.
3. "99 billion served" and funding the game: The phrase likely refers to reaching a large player base (99 billion could be an exaggerated number), which contributes to the success and funding of the game. The term "tit suckin sickos" is a crude reference to those who enjoy certain aspects of the game, perhaps referring to players who seek less wholesome, more controversial parts of the experience (e.g., toxic PvP players).
4. PvP item loot: The speaker claims that even the most toxic and amoral players—who thrive on making others miserable—can’t handle a server with item loot PvP. This means a type of PvP server where players can lose items permanently when they are killed by other players, raising the stakes of each interaction.
5. Toxic PvP players avoiding high-risk servers: Even experienced PvP players, known for being skilled or "raw talents," are unwilling to engage in this type of server due to the high risk involved. The speaker acknowledges this as a small minority (players who are into PvP) within an even smaller group (those who can handle extreme risks).

They are finally adding friendlist? How long has this shit been in development and such basic functions arent in or half baked? Friendlist and ability to promote players in a guild should have been some of the easier to implement functions.
