I disagree on a few points there sm0ke...
1) I actually told you to practice outside the box. Regardless, if you can out heal a nuke in a box you can out heal it in world PvP with consummate ease, it is likely to for world PvP to be viable for smaller groups or hunters then it has to be higher damage output.
2) Duels involve mana punishment and so on, these should still exist in world PvP but we also don't want to see group PvP that is just mana pot spamming.
3) There is a difference between escaping a fight, and being able to live indefinitely because the game is not balanced to account for things like LoS.
So there are differences. I do agree about finding other ways to encourage fighting and reduce the fear of loss and so on, but that will come later.
Also if the changes go global we can expect economic changes (reduction in price of poison, mana pots, things like that) as this is only logical.
Edit: If these changes go in there won't be another set of changes of this scale happening again anytime soon. Fixing duels with region control is pretty easy, could even make it so it does not require a restart.
