Exactly. That is a reason to be upset. The cool PvP gear was a reward for torturing yourself, now its a free handout and the game is way more antisocial at the same time. And you cant call me biased, because i never chose to do the r14 grind.
The PvP changes objectively make the game worse and more antisocial.
Not only did you have to endure, you also had to work with or against other people to achieve rank 14. Thats literally what made it all interesting.
