PvE players - Help me and others understand…

I have seen a rise since adjustments in matchmaking, PvE players leaving the game or complaints of PvP increasing and ruining the experience for those friendly players.

When I first bought the game, I was always of the understanding that this game was PvPvE and there was ALWAYS going to be a risk of other raiders shooting you & getting killed.

Embark then confirmed the presence of ABMM, which appears to have split the community into 2 crowds - until the recent changes. I think the latest update to matchmaking is probably more to align it with how it was always intended, rather than taking the PvE only lobbies away.

So my question is, did you PvE players buy the game on the basis that there was ABMM present and if you don’t shoot you get friendlier lobbies? Or did you buy it on the understanding that you knew it also had PvP in the game?

This is no dig at either crowd, I’m just trying to understand what’s making people so mad about lobbies now being slightly more mixed compared to the previous matchmaking model - as the anger of any risk of PvP at doesn’t make sense to me, in a game designed to be PvPvE.
