I think the PVP can be a very serious barrier here. There's plenty of people who want to roleplay Bounty Hunters, but they'll die faster than 5 seconds in any given 1 vs 1 engagement. In PVP with a certain person, he or she said that I have a lot of things to improve. I felt seriously disappointed, because I realized all what I had learnt just degenerated into the mess what's my PVP now due to absence of training. The learning curve is just too high. What I can only do is to die less.
Back in 2016 I pushed myself to the levels I was able to kill people who wouldn't expect that (so neither could I). Now, so in the time of that duel in Conn, I am unable to do that anymore. I was on good way to improve in PVP, but the obligatory vacations sorta made that impossible. Now, let's be frank here, not all players really want to spend long weeks in Conn.
In my case, it's not 2013-2015 period anymore in which I could sit at Conn at least hour a day.
"Git gut" is one of the worst memes in here and a lot of new people will not have any chance to deal with so-called PVP Elite. The only ship I relatively can use in PVP is TS-ing Flashpoint Pelican. I am sorry about it people, who hate me for flying such ship, but I have no other means to even stand a chance in PVP nowadays.
