The best source of soulstones is SSP, and good luck doing it without PvE gear. The fact that an opposing faction is allowed to intervene is very minor
The distinction that needs to be made is in the gearing
Arena PvP is bolstered and gear independent. It is strictly PvP, with no involvement of the NPCs. It is a very distinctive playstyle.
All other activities in the game are based on the PvE achieved gear, and you can only succeed if you are PvE geared. The best source of soulstones is SSP, and good luck doing it without PvE gear. The fact that an opposing faction is allowed to intervene is very minor. Play on a dominant faction on your server, and it is a purely PvE battle.
Now, the threshold to get rewards in SSP is so high that in this game where going for 40 min without earning anything is not acceptable is a horrible, horrible, horrible thing, but what can you do. The SSP is designed to only give more to those who are already geared, while barring those who are not, and that's the main flaw of the design.
That's the usual dilemma: to get BNS Gold you need gear, to get gear you need blade and soul gold. SS are also the cheapest commodity compared to all other million mats you need. If you are a consummate PvEer, you can run the dungeon with your friend, and split stuff like Poharan's perfumes and Machismos and get the soulstones.
You'll be getting what you want and doing what you like. You have far more options in the main stream gear than an Arena player (or anyone w/o the mainstream gear ).
Now, if by saying you are a PvE'er and meaning you prefer a solo/small party play that does not run the dungeons either, well, this game is not going to let you gear up too far on that, so, well, just do what you can.
Seriously, if that was instituted, than every other material should be tied to the OW PvP or arenas as well.

Blade And Soul Dungeons issues need to be fixed
Second type of player New players, and Bots..I figure there are people that would like me just to summarize these types of individuals. Sometimes, there is a big difference between new gamers to the community, also bots in general aspects

Blade And Soul Gold Income
You hardly get any Blade And Soul Items that are worth selling, and dungeon runs literally anything that would be decent enough to sell is account bound

The truth behind the Blade And Soul Summoner hate
You probably answered to most of the questions with a yes and are genuinely mad about one of the 7 classes. If not you probably dont have a lot of trouble with the game or PvP and dont need to continue to read

Making the BNS PvP, PvE, and Dungeon skill point selections more useful
As of the current build, the PvP, PvE, and Dungeon "one click" skill point selections are pretty useless for most classes. As far as I can tell, they hail back from the days of Blade And Soul 1.0, and there were very little changes in the selections since then

Power to the new blade and soul players
The quest gives more blade and soul gold, still under lvl 10 but the some quest gives half a sliver.

Journey of a 2000 plat sin to new blade and soul gold
Human Blade Dancer, ani cancel Draw Stance with 60% hp gone and if you dare to TAB it you get grabbed and you are as good as dead. This is pretty retarded but they can be killed.
