Comment on Arc Raiders is testing a PvE mode because "a large and growing group" refuse to hunt each other

I’m not sure how I feel about this. I don’t hurt other people and I think most don’t but I feel like that what makes other people feel nice, knowing they could hurt you but choose not to. If I’m in trouble I think most people are more likely to help than hurt me. A little bit of danger makes it exciting.
This happened with Ultima Inline years ago, they made two servers, one for people who wanted PvP and one for those who don’t, and you could switch between them relatively freely. The PvP side ended up being a total death trap where you would get PKed instantly while the other side felt too safe.

I’m also unsure that a PvE mode will be good for the game. I know there are some people who don’t want anything to do with PvP, but I think what the majority are tired of when it comes to PvP is deception. Players acting friendly but then killing you when you least expect it.
I think what the Chinese dev team is doing might be a better fix. That or a faction system, so you can immediately see if another player will be hostile
