Pvp in any game is inherently competitive. There is no real casual pvp. If you see yourself as a casual, you probably should avoid it. Just like a "friendly" game of monopoly.

I can almost guarantee anyone asking for this as an "escape" would quickly find a lobby full of lone wolf players to be far for punishing. Cutting Freelance out was never about splitting the player base. The sooner you accept the fact that you're no longer the PvP target market and no amount of complaining here will change that.....the better off you'll be. Take it from personal experience from "the other half" for the past 8 years. It's not personal. Just how it is.
