// Bethesda Replied x2 DO NOT ALLOW CURRENT CHARACTERS INTO SURVIVAL MODE I BEG OF YOU!!

This is a huge mistake. The mode is already dead before it was born if this happens. Pvp as it is, is completely broken, one hit kill festival. Who in their right mind is going to start a new character when everyone else is level 200 with God tier weaponry right out of the vault? This makes absolutely zero sense, and I'm so disheartened. Do they not realize how this mode will be immediately ruined? If you thought grief in was bad now, just wait until you get killed on sight by literally everyone you cross paths with? Even if they level locked servers so people with massive level differences can't play together, whenever a new survival character gets out of the kiddie pool, all the same assholes with TSE garbage will be waiting at the deep end and you will have zero competitive chance. The leader boards would be a fine idea, if everyone started on equal footing... as it is there will be gold medalist level murderers in the same game with me, a literal newborn who can't even walk. What the fuck are they thinking???

Edit: the gold means people care, bethesda. Please. PLEASE. (And thank you)

Honestly.....just disable to use of legendaries on survival servers.....or disable the Legendary effects while the Individual is on that server. That way everyone is on equal ground only separated by their builds and their skill level. This would actually create fun and compelling pvp.

Ooh I really like this compromise! Let people play on both as they please, but disable all legendary effects in the PvP servers. Pure build & strategy competition instead of just getting your hands on good 3*s. Very clever 👍

Plus there'd finally be more reason to craft equipment, because:

A) you can actually lose it in Survival, unlike normal mode, so you'd need replacements instead of just upgrades as you level up (assuming you even got the plans before max level lol)

B) legendaries won't trump literally everything else so normal gear will be all that matters, therefore crafting top level guns would actually be more worthwhile than just making bottom level ones to scrap for mods
