Let's start with a fact: PVP is "broken" in this game. Only thing that
matters are your eqs and toys, no matter how much exp you have or what
guilds you have, there is equipment in the game that can make
practically _every_ pvp fight completely onesided. That is why forts
failed and why the pkill clans -feature only serves as +stats to a very
select group of players.

With Blitzkrieg event there have been many improvements over the last
couple of events where the event (at least for the dudes trying the
"main event", there have been alternate scorings too) has mostly
consisted of pkilling other parties over "boss mobs" that held some
best-in-the-slot eq. Now there is no eq but harassing other players is
still allowed. To my knowledge no other guild besides reaver has
seriously attempted the event partly because certain players have
threatened with pkilling and harassing.

There is a select group of players who have gathered enough toys and
stuff to be very out of balance, and who are basically able to do mostly
whatever they will. They also play as a team, and for example in this
event, are all on the same side. Fighting them seriously would fuck up
your game, get your stuff dested and it'd be generally game over for you if
they so choose.

Either please make these events work so that it is co-operation that is
rewarded or threatening other players and pkilling etc is forbidden (and
also obviously punished) in the event context. The players can't
feasibly do the policing for the wizzes anymore.
