Peon explains a flaw in ArcheAge content-wise in this video (the creator himself will explain at the beginning, which timestamp to jump to).

It is possible that for a certain segment of the population, that flaw will be fixed with this change.

How did I not know that he did a video on this? Now that I've watched it, I definitely think I can see it, but I don't like the effects...

You could be attacked at any time before.

The 'defender' was in the same situation on land. The only 'power' you had on land was 'the option to give Corruption instead at the cost of materials'.

Oh ok, I thought you were talking about both sides, not just the 'defender/victim' side.

Would you say that Pv(P/X) MMOs in general are better when this is the case, in terms of gameplay?

Brief explanation of why:
This sort of change is the type of 'silent dealbreaker' you get for certain types of game. It's the sort of change where it's not 'degrees' anymore. Before, people who don't like that style were around complaining about the Corruption system because they were thinking 'this won't be harsh enough', but they had a reason to engage and talk.

This type of change wouldn't get as much voice. There's no reason to say anything, you just 'conclude the game isn't for you and move on' if you weren't already really committed to playing it. So I'm interested in what the overall gameplay loop advantage you experience, is.
