Unplayable PVP

The game is primarily catering to the PvE audience. This has been the case since inception. TFP has stated for years that there may be some balancing or DLC for PvP balancing post-launch (after the current 4.0 roadmap), and that there are no plans to do so before then.

Originally posted by william_es: It's a peer to peer game. Literally no way to make that something that couldn't be exploited. It was never meant to be PVP.

"never meant to be" is a little harsh. The option to enable PvP has been in the game since the beginning.
