Maybe I should give you the benfit of the doubt here but, if intended I think you made another misstep.
Tonight I played VvV to see the changes you made after your last misstep. There were to guilds with 2 players fighting it out and myself alone. Since I was greatly outnumbered I was forced to play the way of the thief. However, (and here is what I hope is a bug) the other guilds where getting occupy points towards winning the game and yet my guild was in the city. This is one of two things it would seem. Either it is a bug, or the Devs have nerfed the stealthing thief.
Should this be an intended change then you have completely overlooked getting new blood into the game. There were two guilds of 2 people and one guild of one who was a stealthing thief. They way it was working there was no way for the stealther to compete. If this continues to work this way there is no way you will get the Trammies to play this game. They will see the Occupy points towards winning the game fly buy while stealing Sigils there is no way for them to compete. They will get frustrated quickly and stop playing. As did I until I have a friend online to fight along side me straight up.
Again I call out to the Devs and implore them to in vision what is really important here. If you want to revive PvP over all you must bring in new blood. Tailor this game of VvV with that end in mind and we all are winners! Yes the hard core pvpers of which may complain to high heaven but, there are players to kill they will still play. It is the new to PvP players you should mainly concern yourself with. They are the future and the only way to truly revive PvP. Please Wake Up!
