Were they even very far apart? How long ago did Wild Terra 1 come out?

No fate but what we make, so make me a ham sandwich please.
Did they put in any restrictions so this does not happen?
This is great! I find it curious that PvP MMORPG communities always spend the first three months going out of their way to ruin everyone else's play experience and then the proceeding years waxing philosophical as to why their game is dead. It's been like Groundhog Day for PvP MMOs for 25 years.
What that player should have done was to log off but I suppose for the purposes of the video he stayed and did you read the abusive chat that was going on while this was happening. This was really unbelievably nasty because the guy killing that player knew that the player he was killing had not a snowball's chance in hell to actually fight back. The purpose was to just grief the player.
If a game cannot even place some basic guidelines to prevent this then the game will be very hard for new players. This was very abusive.
Have you never played a free for all pvp MMO before? The dude is obviously 2-shotting him.

Here is another video of a new player (he wears only basic raw hide clothes that every beginner gets to craft during the first half an hour in game, as a part of tutorial), who got jumped by two better geared "grievers" previously. He returns back, and teaches these grievers a lesson. It's not shown in video, but then he invited others, who have been killed by those bullies and people looted those grievers.
Therefore it's just a matter of attitude - if you want to complain how unfair is the life, you'll always find the arguments for that. But if you'll at least make some attempt to stand your ground, you'll always find the the way.
Those who complain about unfairness and grieving will find out that they are grieved even in a totally non PvP environment, because someone will be better in farming resources, trading, crafting and again there will be shout over all the world "I am grieved" "those big boys don't let me be a center of the world while doing nothing for that!"
I am not a big fan of PvP myself, I always choose PvE servers over PvP, when there is such an option. I don't like neither justify grievers. But if you happened to buy a game, which clearly indicated that it contains open world PvP, then gather up and do something more, than complain and feed grievers with your tears (which is their goal if you did not know until now).

292 positive reviews with 185 negative reviews. 732 in game players according to that figure right now. No idea how popular it will get but all time peak was three days ago at 1530.

It is a new game so it will pick up but I don't agree that these types of games don't need some type of rules because I believe that the number could be significantly higher if they put some in place for the new players.
Your argument that people who complain will complain in other games even PvE ones too is a fair one and one I agree with especially considering the fair warning knowing that it is a FFA PvP game upon purchase. The problem isn't with the people buying the game and then complaining rather they not buying the game at all.
Improving some of the issues for new players can actually increase sales. Even games like EvE are constantly trying to keep new players in the game.
People don't actually spend their time crying and feeding grievers. They walk away and ask for a refund from Steam. 2 hours is more than enough time to be 'griefed' and to walk away and ask for a refund of the game. That should be something these developers need to address and one that will impact their bottom line.
This isn't about labels and getting tough and fighting back it is simply to increase the time a new player might have to acclimatize themselves to the game and giving them a fighting chance. If you disagree with that and the economics behind it then we can agree to disagree.
If you would have watched a video I linked and which was just one post above your's you would have seen that a new player (couple hours in a game) can not only put a dent, but even totally put waste on a grievers.
But the problem is not in a game or in lack of welcoming conditions for new players - the real problem, is that people like you ALREADY KNOW EVERYTHING even before they tried the game or at least spend some time watching video feed from it. Hard to have any discussions or disputes with people like that, as they know not the facts about the game, but from some ethereal limb which exists above everything else and is true... just because they decided it is :-)
If you want to discuss about this game, then at least watch the information you are provided.
On other hand if you are not interested in that information, if you hate games of similar setting and think that it is dead and has no chance, then serious question: what are you doing here and why do you waste your time on things that are dead anyway - don't you have better things to do?
and it will have the exact same formula as failed WT1 and 2.........
