Edward, do you really want 1 vs 1 between good PvPers to be impossible to conclude? and do you think it is a good system for people to be able to live through a 2 vs 1 purely off of being able to heal a lot of HP very fast (with GH scrolls) rather than actually having to use some skill (breaking line of sight and using scenery, well-timed healing, magic reflecting or invis/GH potion etc.)?
I appreciate a lot of people feel more insecure in PvP now and I get the feel many don't like it, but consider the fact that it is better to play in a dynamic system where people have to be on their toes to survive and that everyone dies, even the best players, if they don't fight well or they get outmatched.
That is how IN1 used to be in its glory days, all the scary players you may or may not have heard of (including Taran back in the day!) used to die, loot circulated, everyone had fun and everyone had a chance at killing and fighting and getting some practice and the fact that people died prevented people from loading up on incredibly advantageous and expensive gear.
Once the system transitions to one where people do not die, where it is much easier to live than to die (again, like it did in the latter days of IN1 with heavy GH scrolling as some of you are asking for) the system stagnates and becomes very boring, the very best PvPers literally never die and use that advantage to carry stronger and more expensive gear which prices new/weak/poor PvPers completely out of the system and then the system becomes incredibly boring with less fights overall, less loot circulation and less participants. Trust me, I've seen it all happen on IN1 and so has Taran and any other avid PvPer who lived through the majority of IN1's life. I think some of you just need to accept that there is risk in PvP, you might die, you might be ganked, and you might not be as skillful and amazing as you thought you were when you had the GH scrolls, don't let ego or fear of change lock you into a broken system that will ultimately not provide you with a lot of fun.
And if there is a genuine problem with naked scroll gankers I am 100% sure it will be addressed, but at the end of the day many players vs 1 player is always going to end the same way unless the 1 player is very very skilled or at least smart enough to just bail.
