My idea was actually something towards the direction you do not like The idea would be that if you have quite a bit higher armor than your opponent, lets say 10, 20, 30 and 40, your spells will do slightly increased damage.

The damage increase would not be huge, actually it would be very small, but still enough to warrant a good gear. PvP would be different against people with a worse gear, but fact is, if they have worse gear than you 9/10 you would have won anyways. Problem is that it would need to be big enough to warrant armor wearing in ganking too, but we could just double the effects on the "world".

That is my plan in short, just need to work with it a bit. There is also a plan for weapons, but it needs a bit more stewing.

Hope that this doesn't disappoint people too much cause really, having Mytheril (43+ ar and above) will most likely only allow you to take the first level of damage bonus against someone with an Extreme... The numbers are just from the top of my head, but I think I could create something everyone but really really poor [in game] people could agree with.

I think this idea is the most closest one with me. I am not trying to change your gameplay (pvp or rp) i am just trying to find a balanced way. Economy and PvP must be solved together. Make the rare armors and weapons
meaningfull so pvp will become exciting.
