They pushed many updates that only benefit pve players.
1: Awaken +15 system (this was initially a problem but as the game went on it became less of a problem)
2: They removed alliance (it was an open world 3 map system with objectives and activities and pvp which ended in an alliance conflict which is sort of like 3 clashing valleys going on at once.)
3: They created a crusade system awarding skycastles to guilds that get good scores in pve/pvp content. This dawned the double enraged only pve loadout for weap/armor meaning you couldnt do pve and pvp unless you had 2 weapons or wanted to sacrifice your pve crusade scores. PVP crusade was kinda fun but skycastles were useless. Crusade was later removed and the ranking system for battlegrounds was removed with it.
4: PVP credits were essentially useless for a good 6 months until they released this conflate pvp set which gives damage/damage reduction against players.
5: They created civil unrest: velika which was an open world tsb like arena, just like in rohan I got bored to death since none of these "pve players" would show up leaving just me and my guild standing around.
6: They released a 30 man raid which caused many pvpers to jump ship and do pve. Battlegrounds tanked and thats the end of the story.
Tera has been fundamentally broken since the lvl 65 patch hit. Before this patch hit the top pve statics would get good enough to sell runs to other players for money. That was the fruit of their labor you got good enough at certain dungeons to sell runs to other players who were not capable of doing the dungeon but had fat pockets. Those players more often than not? pvpers.
The people who are playing the game now are stuck in a mindless trap of getting geared up to beat the next set of dungeons to get geared up to beat the next set of dungeons and so on and so on. There is even a website where people compare their dps against bosses like wtf!
So TL:DR tera players became lame as **** and thats where the story ends.
