I hear pvpers crying about what they didnt get in all these years and why they were "forced" to come to crom cause we had the only viable playerbase left.
but the pvp servers have and ALWAYS had ALL pve content enabled so why couldnt they get enough guild and pug raids or 6mans going to maintain a healthy population???
to me the answer is as obvious as sad: because of the very nature of the vast majority of pvp players! too much grudge and resentments towards each other paired with too big egos and a shocking lack of manners.
no offense to the minority of those who were trying to make it work but the majority of all those who are responsible for all the prejudice and hard feelings towards "bad" pvpers which still effects most crom pve'rs view took the upper hand.
croms pve players should not be punished for the pvpers lack of social skills which led to the devastating population of their pvp servers by giving the pvpers the chance to do the same to crom.
Crom as PvE server has limited PvP options cause thats the very nature of a pve server. you knew this form the very beginning and asking for any more pvp than there already is simply takes it too far.
oh and no, the borderkingdoms do not contradict the nature of a pve server because these zones serve no other purpose than limited pvp while zones like wild lands, khopshef, etc are needed to lvl up, advance in destiny quests and explore the lore of AoC and opening them up to pvp on a pve server would massively disturb or even destroy the game experience of a pve server.
