I would disagree, they just saw people doing it. They use time played metrics, but doing it because you want to vs feeling like you have to because of rewards/FOMO isn’t the same thing

Again, sure there is, of PvP trolls that like to bully PvE players…like if I run away and you chase me, that’s just trolling
Last match my “quest” was 10 creatures, I got 1 kill on a creature because someone ganked me

That’s PvP happening in a PvP mode.

That’s… That’s not trolling. I’m awful in this myself, but it’s literally a PvP mode. It’s… the whole point is collect things, kill people.
How is that trolling? I try to run too and just groan when I’m not fast enough lol.

If people just let us collect our plunder and get out, they can have their wins/ego boosted.
I laugh when in a week most of us are done with this trash.

The entire point of the mode is to collect things and fight others. It would seem you are missing that point or ignoring it entirely. As someone who primarily does PvE, I’m expecting no special treatment or mercy.

How can they win if they don’t kill ya? 
You’re doing it wrong if you’re quitting early. It’s very easy to hang around fights and scoop up far more gold in the midgame, don’t even have to fight in it.
Nah playing this game each match just makes me more and more frustrated. Just makes me hate WoW as a whole that they add this stuff and KNOW people will want the rewards and only do it because of that and we’ll just get bitter and hate every minute of it

Vote with your wallet! Sounds like it’s time.
Here’s a tip: Not one person is FORCING you to play in this mode!

It looks as if Blizzard wanted more PVP in Plunder 2.0 as they removed all the escape spells from the game.
In Plunder 1, I did stack up on only escape spells and could easily survive until the final 10.
Now? I have yet to get anywhere near that, as you get ganked by the PK´s in second one, with no way to escape.
I also dislike the ability to chose where you land, as now the gankers aim exactly at those green areas to get their ego going.
It makes me wonder where all the feedback went, that they got from the survey? Surely not into development, what a disappointment.
Only good thing is, that they got rid of the ranking system, that was so toxic.

I’ve actually gotten caught in the storm a couple of times by accident and didn’t survive. lol
Other than those accidental deaths though, I will stick it out as long as I can and that usually ends when someone else attacks me. That’s fine. Again, it’s the entire point of the game. 
There’s no real downside to sticking around either. More plunder.
False, the rewards are forcing me. Purple is my favourite color too.

That is feeling obligated, not being forced. There’s still a choice involved.

It´s not pvp content though. PVP content are the BG´s, but this is a PVE environment where pvp is enabled. It would be PVP content, if they would remove the leveling and XP gain, but let us pick our spells or weapons in the lobby and then play a deathmatch.
Right now we are in a pve situation where we must be lucky with drops and gold income to enable us to stand a chance in pvp. That is just PK and that is terrible.

You’re fighting other players. You have to strategize and react according to what they do. That’s PVP. Just because it has RNG and arcade mechanics doesn’t change that.
To get the most out of it, you need to engage in direct PVP. if you want to slog along and do it the slow way that’s your own fault.

You can get plunder without PvP
Again I died at 140 plunder, didn’t finish quest, cause someone just random came after me right away
Like no point to kill people who don’t even have items or plunder if you truly wanted to get most benefit from PvP
100% agree with you, it has always felt like a vastly inferior copy of fortnite/pubg mixed with a very low quality moba. Very low effort “content” from Blizz. The combat is bad, sloppy, just mow down lots of mobs early with AE attacks to get maxed abilities asap. Zzzzzzz
Just hop in get 1k-1500 plunder, run into the storm, repeat. Get all the rewards and avoid this mode like the plague until it comes back in a couple of years.

I doubt a true PvE mode would work, but maybe something like a mode where you are trying to get as much plunder as you can while dealing with PvE mobs that you might try to keep off of yourself while sending them at others. Or a mode that is a race to get the most plunder and teh PvP pare is not killing as much as setting traps and such to keep others from getting plunder or force them to drop some of theirs.
If Blizzard wanted to, they could even make a mode where backstabbing is the name of the game, a portion of plunder goes into a pool, all alive at the end get a portion of the plunder based on performance but during the match, you can set up other players to have accidents.
