No your wrong, as a vet pvper, I solely played for pvp and would have liked to continuing taking part in TC and regional conclict over resources (which has its own issues, like pens etc, no capurable shit etc and limited tc participation) and lets not even go into sieging itself, because sieges themselves are half the issue TC is not the shit, the system is there now, we got the building materials and tools, we just need them to fix up the sieges, make them fun, have some more elements and allow people to take part in TC aside from the special limited few who own keep spots. truly PVP has gone downhill for years, half the reason was mounts, half the reason was some other changes, big killer was sprint breaks which kinda destroyed hybrid gameplay and now the core vet pvp base has basically died because we all moved on.
The new continent is questionable, it really depends on what SV focuses on but if you want to know what I think, most of the vet base would like to see existing features fleshed out more which is our main complaint. The AI and the new creatures was a great PVE move, it really helped but the issue is that when you compare it to myland, it kinda obsolete.
If sarducca came first then myland, people would refer to myland as easy money maker, economy destoryer, noob island etc and there would be massive uproar.
