Anyone who is a real red player (a red player that doesn't play in a guild) will likely have found the introduction of the veteran system to be MASSIVELY troublesome.
Now, i have no doubt a lot of blues pretending to be red will say it is fine, because they tend to hate red players for killing them; but... It isn't fine..
Allow me to explain.
PVE tasks are WAY easier as a blue, and PVP provides no clade.
So, as a red player, do you think i expected that i'd have to do PVE again, when i thrust myself so deep into red, it would be impossible to climb out again? No.
Now i find i NEED to do PVE to get to mastery, otherwise i'm at a significant disadvantage. So.. I have massively low rep.. A massively high murder count.
How is it fair not to reset murder count when introducing this system? Like.. Do you have any idea how difficult it is playing as a solo hated red player trying to do PVE tasks, when all the blues have an advantage on me now?
They all have their mastery.. But me? Nope. Because i'm getting chased and attacked at every turn.
Blue players be like "Well, you shouldn't have murdered people!"
Yes; but you need criminals in your game. It isn't about punishing people you think are bad. People who murder in game are not necessarily morally bad people. Please understand this basic fact. It is a GAME. The game NEEDS red players. They create player driven content.
As a red player, with low rep.. I am in an extremely difficult position when it comes to doing tasks. On my blue alt, i'd say it is 100x easier. Less distance to travel, easier access to banks.. Less chance of death. Like... How is this fair on reds who were red before veteran was announced?
