Please don't listen to all the carebears whining in this thread. New World listened to them and now their game is going to be DoA. The carebears can go to Arboreus.

- Prometheus has asked that we don't always degenerate our conversations into Carebears vs Ganker.
- There are very few actual CareBear players out there.
I would define a Carebear as someone who doesn't want any risk or consequences. Don't like losing their corpses, don't like PKers, don't like having to give up anything for anything else.
Many people called CareBears, or almost as bad, 'Casual' players are just as hardcore as any PKer out there, spending hours and days and months of their time playing games towards their style of play. Their style of play just may not include PKing. PKing doesn't make you a HardCore player, it just makes you one type of player. Same goes for Guildies vs Solo'ists. Many Solo players are even more hardcore than guildies, because they have to rely on themselves alone to get everything done. BUT they are also free to log in and log out whenever their schedule allows, join open raids or not as they see fit, and really get into the Roleplay aspect of the game.

I can reassure you, the Devs are PVPers by themself, they played very much other PVP games, so they will not listen exessivly to "carebears". The patch even shows, that they are more listen to the PVP community, since this part needs to get a balance at Syndesia.
You can be sure, as soon Arboreus is open, the carebears, which you obvisiously don't like, will be there and you have not to deal with them again.But just to be said, also a serious PVPer don't like gankers. And what i heared from so called carebears is just related to gankers. They don't whine about PVP in general.
Syndesia will need a good balance between PVP and PVE, otherwise the whole concept would not work. For that we are here all at the same planet for now.
Every input is important and be sure, the Devs can handle it, they don't need someone who tells them "Please don't listen to..." They will listen to the honest and constructive critism.
Yours wasn't constructive, in my opinion.
As for further derailing, just listen to @GamerSeuss, he said the right words.

Basically nerfing the good side, while giving many benefits/lowering downsides to the criminal side
We really don't think this patch has "nerfed" the good side in any significant way. Almost all existing bounty hunters had 10,000 Karma already* and getting there doesn't take that long. The requirement is there to prevent players from switching from PK to BH easily. The criminal side hasn't been really given much either, since most of the dedicated PKs sit at -10,000 Karma or close and it's much faster to get there now.
That being said, notwithstanding how much the criminals cried like the jail and BH systems were the end of the world, they have done little to keep criminal activity under control, so further measures will be required.
*there was a bug with Karma not growing when killing mobs with 100% knowledge. It's been fixed and the Karma of all players with positive Karma has been tripled to account for the losses. This wasn't mentioned in the patch log.
