I don't see a point in removing pvp, guess it really doesn't matter but it brings me back to the whole "If it isn't broken, don't fix it" argument. Yes, at this time DA is really the only player base. I think removing pvp is unnecessary and unfair to people that built their accounts around pvp. Who knows maybe people will spilt and start a new clan, or people will come back one day or whatever. I think game unbalances like "lvling item" drop rates and other things should be fixed before taking away things that aren't broken.
I agree that materials for leveling need a boost on their drops rates. I farmed Tundra for 2 days straight and only came out with 2 skulls 1 flesh and 4 vulpines.. That's insane.
