People Keep Saying PvP is Dead. Is It Really?

I quit the game 2-3 years ago when my guild ended up disbanding after a civil war in the guild. Back then i was playing to get better in pvp and get better gear for pvp, i thought that was the peak content of BDO people striving to get involved; dramas, wars, politics, bonding, ego fights, being part of something great and so on.

I came back like a week ago and people been saying pvp is dead. I dıdnt bother myself with that at first since i was having fun getting together my account and gear. But i just keep hearing the same pvp is dead shit. Wtf has happened i cant really grasp the stutation is it trully dead?

edit: i decided not playing anymore after reading your comments, gotta focus on university anyways thx guys
