A short video on why DU players and devs REALLY should stop calling combat "PvP" as it's divisive, a misnomer and can possibly dumb down the game by lowering the perceived scope and scale of the game

Edit:

What I wrote in the forum thread;

I just think semantics matter, when people say "Do PvP" or "PvP organization" they imply non-aggressive players or non-PvP organizations don't do PvP, which is not the case, but the implications do divide the community or create a perceived division more so than how much there actually is, and NQ do tailor their developments from perceived player sentiment to some degree

I just don't want DU to end up like ED where there's a completely separate path of gameplay without any PvP because of some hardcoded distinction or barrier (their solo / private group mode), essentially undermining the whole universe of the game

Maybe I'm just paranoid or overly pedantic, at least I hope so
