1) It's all population it has nothing to do with the increase of spell damage though, if they have players online they won't roll in smaller groups just because the damage has increased. I'm not saying that it was a bad thing just saying that constantly changing the pvp will create inconsitance and causing players to be upset.

Yes there will always be ganking, but a single or pair of PKs or such may stand a decent chance of having some fun hit and run or playing skillfully vs. small groups. Currently anything below a 3 man team is almost pointless and very few even try from what I have seen when spying on players. I want to open up as many options but also remove none that already exist.

2) there is a lot of mana punishment in ganking when you dump someone you can easily counter depending on how fast you switch and if they don't choose to use LoS or not, I don't know what you want it's not like people will run up to other players and try to melee them in this pvp so ofc it will be about mana pot drinking even if you reduce the cost of potions and intake of mana on scrolls it won't change it at all just the numbers and inconsitancey like i've been saying..

Once the testing phase is over, if the changes go in, there will not be constant changes afterwards. We have no intention of causing that sort of chaos.

3) By all means I don't think anyone should be able to escape whenever they want you can create LoS with walls of stone etc, use dungeon entrances walls doors buildings trees there's so much that's accountable that's never used or even talked about because half of these players don't even know what they're doing.

Yeah prices will lower, but you can also expect players to carry less items which is again already a problem that people are complaining about saying it's not even worth killing people..

I think gear will have a more significant but reasonable affect on fighting after the changes, this should provide loot but reduce the huge resource cost of PvP. Don't get me wrong, people will still need the basics: pots, FS/Gh/Mr scrolls and so on.
