I agree, the official server rules and their enforcement are a mess. However, that’s really tangential to this discussion.
If we’re really talking about performance, then I’ve already explained my objections to using it in this context. If we’re talking about how performance is treated in Funcom’s official server rules, then that’s a whole different can of worms.
Even without understanding the intricacies of PVP the way you do, I also understand why people are upset.
I just don’t agree with those who are asking Funcom to roll back the rollback and I don’t think it’s hypocrisy to point out their lack of perspective to them.
And I definitely disagree with the latest trope that some PVP players are pushing about how PVE players are at fault for collecting thralls. I’ve now witnessed a considerable number of these attacks on PVE players, with diverse reasons for invalidation of their playstyle, ranging from “go back to playing with your dolls” to “you don’t need any thralls except those that are easily obtained” to “you don’t need any thralls anyway” to “having thralls is a performance problem”.
Maybe I’m jaded, but when I see a common trend of PVP players attacking PVE players over the same thing at the exact moment where they stand to gain something from those attacks, I get a bit stubborn and start “scrutinizing their stances”.
