Leaving invuln areas has almost no risk unless someone has para fielded the exact spot you come out. I mean seriously, besides a field, there is no way you can stop someone getting away. They cast reflect and pop through one of the gates, giving them at least a half second head start which means they will likely be done recalling by the time you follow them through and take down there reflect. When leaving areas like that, you are always on guard, you know what can happen and you are ready to react just in case.

Yeah but the point isn't that you are suppose to "pretend to be AFK" and then kill somebody when he exists the pits to bank his gear or whatever, the point is to find players to talk to (or piss off) and then decide to meet at ocllo for a nice 2vs2 or 3vs3 or whatever, where guilds meet and fight.

After staffing on INX I can tell you the only time the pits ever caused more pvp was when there was two guilds in the pits with the exact number of members and after they stopped being pansies for 20 minutes, pretending they were tough by talking shit but never leaving, someone in their guild would accidently step on the pad while they were simply trying to just pretend they would. So yeah.. 90% of the fights caused by the pits on inx were this scenario, which is why I hate pits and in relation, any safe zone.

The problem with IN-X was that everybody was cowards and never left the pits, and yes the same thing may happen here as well, but judging from other shards I've played it doesn't have to be that way, at a lot of more PvP-oriented shards where everybody focused on PvP people actually dared to leave pits, and then it was a "good thing" rather than a bad thing to have the pits.

But I must say that I don't really think the pits worked out "great" at IN-X tho, mainly because of that people were too scared to leave the pits and actually fight, the way you are explaining, so I'm not sure it will be a good thing here either, if that very same thing happens here as well then I prefer no pits.
