put them in the AH for a dot each, no buy now option... most if not all will sell

Damaging gear is pivotal to GvG. It's part of the strategy to be precise.  If i had it my way they'd lose gold/exp as well. What's the point of a guild conflict if there isn't any damage? You can only GvG a guild every 10 days, the damage from 100 100 stams is 8-9 levels at best at the cost of 10k stamina. Even the most noobiest of players can gain 8-9 levels in 10k stam (And we are assuming here in the GvG a single person will be hit 100 times). This game thrived when pvp/gvg thrived and it died when it came under attack.

 

With PvP Protection available i don't see why there shouldn't be exp loss on every type of hit. You have the ability as a player to toggle if you want to lose exp from hits.

 

*Side Note* Someone could break all my gear down to 0/160 and the most i'd pay to repair it is 5-10k. Those interested in this statement can do a little research.

Vicious, aren't you?
So, you advocate Cows with Guns?

I think it's time to increase the results on the find player page from 25 to at least a 100 (and have a filter to weed out players that have not been online more than seven days). With so many inactive players at each level, I hardly can see more than 8 active players for the DQs. And the list on fight players page is limited to just 5.

Fox44 is right, the most active players will be on the top of the list, it's been filtered that way for quite some time.. increasing the number on the list won't be much help... what you will need to do is to input the new PvP ranges so you have a more accurate list.  FSH will do this for you, but as of now, the Find Player page still reflects +/-10 for players over 200...
Also, as you level up, you will find there are less and less active players to choose from.... there will even be times your list will have nobody in range at all, whether active or not, even with the new expanded range.  The good news is that if you have a DQ for 8 players and your list only shows 4, you can attack again after your hour expires, you just won't get Prestige from them....

 

Isn't that a bit melodramatic, Shin? 

I mean, I understand that changes need to be done and are way overdue, but tbh, there are many, many players, including myself, that only play the arena when they have a DQ. 

But the arena is just one facet of the game...  A lot of players quit when PvP was changed, a lot more quit when Personal Cooldown was initiated... but still, a lot of us are still here.  I'm not sure of the statistics, but quite a few of the veterans that returned from retirement that I knew then and know now left mostly for personal reasons... i.e. RL happens...  others just because they became bored with the same-old same-old and moved on to something more engaging and exciting...

Yeah, the arena needs an overhaul, but so does GvG, composing, and even the methods of adding new content...  Almost all of FS has become stale and predictable, and this just makes the flaws therein more noticeable...  The overall makeup of the arena and the problems behind them are so much more that the 25% rule (which , iirc, BG has said countless times will remain in place regardless of the many protests against it).

It would be really nice if the cows would look into this....

I've never agreed with the group changes in regards to relics.

I don't remember even being asked.... do you?

I'll bid 5 on 

no need for tabs, FSH can filter based on levels you are looking for..

not everybody uses FSH.... some can't, others don't want to
