you do realize that an mmo game is for the masses, and not the "few" as you put it your self "extremely competent pvp player". Just saying you cant balance the game around the few, you need to do it around the as you put it "the masses do not have the highest intellect level when playing this game"
So if the players of a game lack all what you clame then the makers of the game need to help out thats the nature of games.
