Ok, so this may (or may not?) **** a lot of r9rr off, but as I was getting 1 shot in nw today (as is always the case as soon as I spawn), and it got me thinking. Why not make a pvp event where everything is balanced. Everyone gets the same gear set for their class, and let it be a test of skill. Keep genies as we built them, but a time limited gear set/weapon for the duration of the event is the only stuff you can use. would be so much fun playing with everyone having the same gear :)

    Not likely to happen.

    1. It will bother players who want to use the gear they worked for

    2. Those who wish to swap gear will be negatively affected by being restricted to one set of weapons and armor

    3. Sharding choices would need to be taken into account (some want to be sharded with garnets sapphires, Cits, JoSD, or Deity)

    4. PWE wants you to be pressured by the top-end players killing you buy better gear/refines. There is no way would they give you 100% fair combat for free.

    There is no gear level where classes are actually balanced. For instance in NPC gear it impossible to kill barbs due to their high vit.

    1. If they don't want to participate, they don't have to. You would soon find out who the gear reliant facerollers and the skilled players are.

    2. Would be given a simple choice, kind of like dreamchaser gear. Choose your set.

    3. No shards, that is over complicating it. Just stats on gear. This would be basically gear just for the duration of the event.

    4. For just one day per week, people can form a squad and pvp on an even level. Is that too much to ask from PWE? I personally think it's a reasonable request.

    Brilliant suggestion.

    I've seen this in the Corsair's Stronghold Battleground on (****ing censorship with **** mods, google it to find out what game) and it's awesome. Everyone is boosted to max level and given the same tier gear. Not only should this suggestion be looked at, but look into battlegrounds and better instance matching than we just had implemented.
