They really didn't need to have soul memory to stop griefing. With the older system you couldn't get invaded period if you weren't human so that's better. As Dragon stated he could still get killed by people who did a speed run to get later game gear...so the exact same thing as before except they also destroyed pvp with no level caps and no red\blue eye orbs.

Granted if you don't go into new game plus and just go to the dragon bridge you can still have a decent time...for now.
