PvP marks were great, now you get just as much reward for 2 quick pve missions as for a pvp kill, while it takes much less time, effort and risk to go pve. Ok you can capture ships with pvp but then you have to sail it allll the way back home and it takes a lot of time to go again after that.
If someone wants to have every reward possible while playing only pve they can buy marks or play pve server !
It was great to have a very special reward if you dared to hunt alone / duo in dangerous waters, with a better reward if you tasted challenging fights. The change killed that. Too bad
