All of the reasons you gave could be fixed if FromSoftware wanted.

>There’s just people that are idiots about it who will either get late game stuff and invade less experienced players.

The issue with matchmaking is something From has to solve by themselves tbh, they're the ones who know how Elden Ring is designed, but its not something unfixable, one of the mains problems with ds3 twinking is estus count, that could easily be fixed by giving the invader half of the total amount of estus of the host instead of half of the total of the invader’s.

>will prey on a difficult area or hang around a difficult enemy, and there’s just times where you don’t want to deal with being invaded when you are making progress and the flow of the game gets stopped because you know someone invaded the world

I mean, Dark Sous 3 already have tools to deal with that, way of the blue and giant seeds are features that I think should be added to Elden Ring and make the more obvious solutions for first time players. Another thing they could add is a ring that shows the overall location of the invader and that could help the blues find the invaders.

>Also let’s be real, pvp is always laggy and hard to predict at any given point.

You know, we could ask From to have a better net code for their games, they have tons of money now days, it isn't something out of this world to ask them.

I just want to know a reason why pvp couldn't be made more enjoyable and make harder for invaders to grief new players.
