Spawn, tab, q, /follow, get zerged, die, repeat.. at least give me something to jump over something while chasing gimps and kiters.. something! I'm bunnyhopping out of boredom! I'm going crazy here! Bring back old bs asap!
I couldn't care less about who is clueless or what the exact definition "real" pvp is in ao, I want "fun" pvp!
I want more environments not less! Make an environment and I'd love to fight in it, just not if it's hopelessly boring!
If there were people like there are in bs, and without the waiting and drama of normal city pvp and without the ridiculous zergs of tower and tara pvp, I'd pvp in clon****, I'd pvp in scheol, I'd pvp in broken shores, wartorn valley, I'd even pvp in db2 just for the challenge and the excitement of overcoming tricky and hostile situations and locations. I really couldn't care what prof, I'd try and make the best of it. Push your toon to the max! Overcome the odds!
It blows my mind that we are changing environments to suit easier and less eventful fighting. If you are having trouble in a situation, get better at it. If pet pathing is a problem, fix pet pathing, figure out a way to get your opponent to your pets, or figure out how to not rely on your pets to fight well. If you are kiting me on my keeper, then I'd better get some more runspeed and maybe a root graft or two. You can judge my playstyle all you want, but please do not tell me how to play or where I can/cannot play.
If you like arena style duels and balanced, fair fights, go for it. Enjoy yourselves! There's dozens of locations for you to enjoy that type of pvp. (arenas, duels, abandoned pvp mine, current bs, etc) For those of us who want something more, we're completely out of luck, and many have already given up and moved on to other games. Population is a problem, lack of pvp environments is a problem. BS was the last sorta fun pvp encounter I had. I miss the days in front of the subway, I miss the rp city battles, I don't think people then cared about some agent sniping from the top of a building and some rock that was in the way and some tree that made it hard to see him, or a bench that made them have to tap spacebar to get over. Please stop dumbing down the already dumbed down pvp.
