I'm a little confused on some of the reservations. Ok I do see the argument of it taking away from world pvp and ganking. And for that reason how about no duel stones. Just an area that is invul with teleporters to three blue towns three red towns. Some reg stones, and NO BANK, NO TRADE allowed.
This wont take away from risk of pvp. People enter the pits with good armor they still have to leave with good armor there is no where it can go without the person having to enter a vulnerable zone.
This will increase ganks in other towns besides Brit. Brit bridge ganking is very boring I much prefer Occlo or outside of trinny (old IN days of watching over Trinny walls). No one is gonna randomly recall to Occlo and pvp unless there are pits that ppl can see ppl walk into Occlo.
People stand around in pits not always AFK (although I agree it is true there are AFKERs) I dont think its fair to say that there is no interaction at all. I found some of the most riveting ganks starting at pits. Someone enters occlo everyone else sees this and tells their buddies and ganks get coordinated very nicely. You can still search for people in dungeons etc to gank.
As for trading I understand that the zone will have no trading I agree with this also. But I think that the pits still stimulates trading by allowing players to communicate. There have been so many trades that have started in pits where I talk to someone and then we end up going to Occlo or Brit to trade something. Plus I think that right now its not much of an issue but in the future if there are murderers it would be easier for them to trade. I know on original IN I had to make another character that was blue lol because I always felt isolated from everyone else (except for my SH buddies).
