If you don’t mind me asking, what have they done to prevent PvE from being nothing more than a gum ball machine for PVPers

Been repeatedly told that the game is not for me and to get out, so just curious.

In Ashes of Creation, we have the Corruption system to discourage griefing in PvP.

The goals of the Corruption system is to both keep risk alive for players, and also limit and discourage the ability for players to grief others. If this doesn't seem to be the case during testing, we'll continue to refine the Corruption system until it is better at accomplishing these goals.

We spoke about our perspective on this during the October 2022 Development Update Livestream. Here's a timestamp to that conversation, if you want to learn more.
