In a brief check around the forums, exactly no one loves this idea, nearly everyone hates it. From talking to people on my server, a couple people thought it might be interesting, the vast majority agreed how completely terrible it is.
Opinions have swung extremely more negative since we found out that you no longer can be assured of having a new dimension when you use a coordinate.
If you really think that having pvp in dimensions is a good idea, first, you're wrong, and second, how about this:
When opening a dimension, you have 2 choices - either open as normal, you can't attack or be attacked, or open it with the pvp option, but the map quality is one level higher than the coordinate used for it. The replacement coordinate might need to be eliminated in that case, or you only get 1/2 the shards needed for it, or something.
I can clear around 30% of a basic dimension in one day, so anyone who gets dumped into an opened basic map is already being screwed out of a big chunk of the rewards. Intermediates are not that much better, and taking over an advanced or especially an expert map is going to cause rage quits like nothing before. Those coordinates are already too rare to reliably keep them going given the new burn rate.
This game has already lost a lot of players, please stop the bleeding before it's too late. And in the future, actually think through new features all the way. Players generally enjoy pvp, they do not like brutalizing weaker players, for the most part. The ones that do like that drive other players out of the game, so you should not be encouraging that kind of behavior. Or in this case, requiring it.
