Easy as pie. As long as one has icons to convert into victory points.
EDIT.
In addition to not finishing upgrading immortal task and collecting VP for alliance ranks, I won’t be finishing monolith battles task either. 45 of whatever-that-new-chick-is-called souls is not worth the bother. I’ll still get the valhawks for tomorrow (to end on finished week for beauty’s sake) but none for the remaining 42 days.
Definitely less. Mainly because the matching is dreadful. I’m repeatedly matched with opponents with much higher item level than me. It’s tedious to start, and get very quickly defeated. Or to start, and retreat just to get a new set of matches to avoid spending heaps of gems to refresh opponents. I used to quite enjoy PvP, but no more - because of this awful matching. I’ve stopped playing PvP completely.
