Yea sometimes they are useful to chase people down, but most of the time people that run away for ages are low on health so they lose saturation very fast so you can catch up to them fast anyway, so all pearls are used for is for those annoying spamclickers who refuse to fight and play survival games to practise their running. Sometimes if you get a pearl spammer on low health, when they pearl away they die and you don't even get the kill which is stupid too. Also other times you have a nice 1v1 with someone, then they pearl away so some random comes along and cleans you up. Also people use pearls to go on top of giant structures and camp there all game, and borders take ages to start to close so you have to wait for ages for them to die too, so yea remove pearls pls
