PvP is dead!

New players are no longer able to compete in pvp without being bombarded by roshambo mechanics, level restrictions, gear modulization including certain restrictions to spells on level gains. The arena is just full of veteran pvp players that have crossed over from 4th age pvp. Lets not forget the existing problem still remains on the overused on shadow spells at max pvp despite shadow pip gain regulations. The spell weakness is far more spammable now that it has been in the last 3 age. Damage schools such as fire and storm are rendered a tad weak vs 150 damage mega tanks with resist capping around 65-80 via ward pets.

The new update buffs are gonna bring back players to pvp. It is still important to play around Rosh ambo spells, cap on weakness and shields required. 4 cost pvp only just as bubble. Playing defensive meta strategy to go hyper offensive on max pips nullifies aggressive playstyle. There needs to be a limit on both side to equalize the playing field. Suggestion to implement a critical mode where if players are lets say defeated by a 3000+ dmg spell defeated players has a chance of revive with 6 pips to counter act the defeat.

While I don't agree with every part of that, PvP is certainly not as new player friendly as it used to be. I very much agree with the general point you're making here. They don't even have open practice PvP!
