[PVP] Feedback (light attack spamm meta is too unforgiving and triggering for some)

i understand melee (warriors/rogue/melee weapon kits) should add a slight stagger/interupt to PvE minions, but to also allow it to apply to live players is currently making this seasons meta almost unplayable to beginners who are not used to the “Dodge light attacks and quickly counter with your own light attack” meta..

a lot of successful titles that utilize a weapon kit for a build often follow the formula of reserving stamina/defensive abilities to counter Heavy attacks/CC animations..

but not in this games current state where people follow up cc/heavy moves after forcing the opponent to stam out from dodging an onslaught of light attacks/dodge attacks.. it can make a lot of player rage quit/ triggered at the pvp combat strategy in this current seasons meta..

It would be really nice if the stagger/interupt effect from light attacks did not apply to live players so dodging light attacks wouldnt be so necessary in someones survival out in the open world raid. instead to the average player like myself.. it is over whelming to be forced to dodge light attacks along with incoming NPC damage from landmarks when im being ganked…

Often times i dont even want to fight back and just ask the opponent to leave me alone via open mic… This is not a healthy formula for a PvEvP extraction FIGHTING game… this game is an RPG fighting extraction game at the core and when a ganking scenario happens, both sides should have a fairly equal fighting chance of surviving the encounter with the word “Balanced/fair” in mind… However theres no fun in fighting in a fighting game when the fighting games meta is promoting a cheesey strategy/technique to defeating your opponent. in this case its LIGHT ATTACK SPAM via LEFT MOUSE BUTTON PRESS. I am totally at the mercy of the Opponent who hits me first while im in the middle of engaging a landmark… I cannot run away because im forced to stam out from not only the incoming Light attacks of my opponent but also i have to be aware of the incoming dangers of the NPCs that have been aggroed… im totally just ***** all the way through… just basically at the mercy of begging the opponent to not kill me.. This vibe is definitly NO CHILL… hell the only reason i still play atm is because the PVE open raid maps are beautiful and entertaining to farm. A lot of my retired military friends hate the fact that the “ pvp combat is so dog-shit” because we often find ourselves begging our opponents to leave us the F* alone.

theres just too much power invested into light attack spamming that it feels very unfair to be forced to use my stamina to dodge light attacks when i should be saving them to avoid the incoming dangers of a Heavy (HOLDING LEFT/RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON) or CC animations.
