Server Merges, major concerns.

I'm one of many solo gathering base building Dune enthusiasts. I am and have always enjoyed and more peaceful journey, only killing NPCs when I need to, and just enjoy the game and setting. I am often gathering in the PVE areas of the Deep Desert, and avoid all PVP zones like the plague. As the game populations dwindle I have thrived. As the game has become more enjoyable with less people for me.

Now my concerns. I have been very cautious with how I build my Bases, where I operate, even my prefered game times all are intended to avoid people as much as possible, but with server merges, and because the PVP griefers are still here mostly, how are we who hate PVP going to deal with server merges.

Besides the concerns for people with bases designed to flow with the landscape, how likely will funcom just put everyone into a server filled with large Griefer guilds instead of just merging low pop PVE servers together?

The dev team always seems so dead set on forced PVP, I feel I may have to quit if they merge servers in a away that fits their usual MO.

How does the community feel about this?
