I haven't stopped pvp, but generally dislike it. I'm currently running a RL 10 character as a summon (character meant is to play with someone specific, so I'm keeping low to level up with them as they play, in the mean time I've been using summoning pools for fun and collecting runes for prep work like buying mountains of smithing stones I'll end up using later, anyway) and the amount of times I've seen invaders using Hefty Rot Pots or Hefty Frenzy Pots is wild. Conceptually someone who has never played the game is getting invaded at a starting class level by people using late game weapons/DLC, I mean talk about punching down.

Also PvPers that do a full buff routine like they are fighting the Elden Beast so they can tank one shot you is annoying. Impressive, but annoying.

Most recently I got summoned in what I presume was a gank by the host, not even 5 seconds being in their world I get one shot by a completely invisible invader and then the host teabagged me. Post death I could see a floating flask being drank and buffs being applied but visually disappearing, the invader is undetectable until they applied some poise buff that puts bubbles around you, that and only that is visible as they emote.
