Accellerate content more targets will be in range. There is minimal if any reason to change the pvp range if content is accellerated through the mid points of the game. Retain Xinderoth and Karthak as they are and boost the content xp output through 1000 or so. Increasing the amount of xpgain per hour or the number of xpgain upgrades that both items with that feature as well as removing the nerf sub-500 on xp gain....
Acellerate content more people will get past Karthak into what will soon be the second THIRD of content. Thus more targets for those in the mid levels. This is a issue more about people being spread too thin because content takes too much time to get to the mid point of. If there are more targets, then range is not an issue.
Furthermore how does this help for the whole concept of "don't like someone who is slamming you via pvp, level out of range" This would basically completely eliminate the notion of leveling out of range. This is a band-aid at best and seems like it's only going to appease a few people, while annoy (at a minimum) many others who are still playing.
I've said before prestige farming will go through the roof if the range is expanded.
I think luis had a really good point in citing that stamina used in pvp hits should play a higher role in the amount of pvp prestige gained. IF there's more incentive to 100 stam on a prestige hit I'd think by default it'd increase the amount of BB activity as well.
Also as some said, I think some just want more easy targets who won't give them any real trouble than actual desire to pvp. It's not like you have 6 people in your range in the entire game like I do. If you're such great pvpers who love to pvp, you should be more than willing to hit the people in your range, if not, then you're not being serious about it, and just wanting an easy hit to farm gold/prestige out of, not actually pvping people. (The whole thing of being able to pvp someone who has been offline without buffs while you stack up on your stats is a bit idiotic imo anyhways.)
As was cited "I just want to pvp" you have people in range? Go smash them then? If you love pvp as much as you claim you should be doing it, or did they get tired of being poked while offline?
It's about the number of people and the pace of getting through the content. This is just another side-effect of the early content not being accellerated fast enough to have people in the mid game content to keep up with the game as a whole.
Expanding the range of pvp sounds more like a bit of laziness than anything imo. What ever happened to those who used to DELEVEL to get to where other pvpers are at and smack the snot out of each other? Oh right, they left because pvp became a drama-fest.
