I know this is a radical approach to pvp, but could it work here?

Gleened directly from the Guild Wars 2 website.

 

"Everyone plays at the same level in Guild Wars 2 PvP, where skill and strategy provide players with the winning edge. All players are set to max level and given all the skills and gear they need to meet their opponents on even terms."

 

Now before I read it, this had not even occurred to me. If we would've had this system, there never would've been any need for brackets.

It could work I suppose, i think it would be weird to suddenly have all these skills I don't have yet and learn to use them during PvP though. And I'm not sure how confusing it would be to have to rearrange my skill bar for a PvP setup to include a bunch of skills that I'm not fully accustomed to.

It would work. But modern companies have rarely the guts for it, because it would mean to remove the mythical carrot on the stick and hence subs from certain part of playerbase.

If I had this from the get go, I would be pvping 50% of the time on all my alts. Man, it would be a blast to be uber starting at level 10. Of course, the uber thing negates itself when all the other players have the same skills and gear.

I think this would jump start pvp again. Doesn't solve the faction imbalance though.
