Problem is you can't separate the true players from the randoms anymore. New players would learn respect and appreciation through older players purely because if they didn't, they knew the older players could wreck them countlessly. That weight isn't there anymore. Thus, someone with zero respect in PvP can do just as well as someone who knows how to PvP properly (take someone like Gau or Glad for example). Skill isn't a factor, only having a set is, so no one is capable of really trying to stop the new gens from ruining PvP.
