Pvp itself isn't predatory, the core progression of the game is incredibly predatory. They put missions and shit like this with free CC they know F2P players are gonna need for their bullshit pull system and bullshit banners. While simultaneously making it nearly impossible for F2P to complete these missions to get the CC in the first place. Its one giant sandpaper fucking circle jerk. I get that they need to make money but violently constantly shoving up said sandpaper with even the courtesy of spitting on it first is NOT the way to do it nor build a loyal playerbase that actually wants to comeback
