You speak as though you speak for everyone. If you dont want PVP, stay in the none PVP zone.
No, the end goal of this game is not to build a thriving civilisation. What would be the point in subscribing further then?
I have everything i need in the game, i'm building a large core atm.
If i have all the resources, my land is safe why would i continue subscribing.
I have then finished the game, i have met the end goal.
If this is the whole game then I guess i'll return to Eve online and play space engineers if i wanted to build something.
DU is a pvp game, if it has PVP its a pvp game.
Lots of us are building ships for pure pvp to get them destroyed.
