ah, you're reaching, WhoisThis. I am willing to accept that skill plays a part in PvP because i'm a reasonable person and not some 13 year old internet flamer. Open discussion of ideas is a better way to continue the conversation than flaming. Yes, birds who charge into tanks without knowing how to use their skills, etc will have a disadvantage over those who know how to use their characters. ha
BUT, the game is a stat based game. The stats, affected by gear, is an important part of it. Especially when players are matched evenly in skill, of course. Why should one group of players automatically have a clear advantage just because of what happened when people were misled about what they were playing for?
Why dont Lvl 5 players PvP against Lvl 30 players or Lvl 30 players fight Lvl 65 players? Because of stats (damage, armour, crit, etc.). The same stats that gear give bonuses too. If gear did not have a factor, people would PvP naked in theory. GEar makes a difference. Geez, there are threads upon threads about how the Forgotten bows are overpowered. Obviously stats make a difference. DOnt delude yourself otherwise. If you did, you'd would be using grey or white junk items and fighting players of equal skill, and getting your butt kicked, i might add.
And as to your questions, you obviously haven't read the threads on this issue through. I wish you did so you understand what the points are. I dont PvP. I've said it many times before, the 50HP would make a big difference to me in surviving Yeti attacks. It's still imbalanced and people still feel misled and cheated. STS has not fixed that yet. I hope by this continuing dialogue, STS will finally realize what they did and at least fix it for the Humania Helm (since everyone now knows that STS has changed course, the other Elite items in the future can be decorative), OR balance the game by removing the old Elite bonuses. I'm not the only one saying this (see above for some examples).
again, Dragon sets giving +10 dmg, go for 45M gold. Imagine a 50HP item in the game (which is what STS took away)? Would it be worth $100M gold?
Cheers
