Now that we have an official pvp feedback thread: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=87087 And this horrible idea has been posted there i think it's time this thread be retired and locked.

It has been around so long, not a single reply from an admin should be enough as a reply to the suggestion
..theres been a sticky PvP discussion thread for 2+ years, which also doesn't have a single HCS comment, yet i still like supporting this idea in its own thread too.
yes tweaks are needed to darkarchon's original suggestion but having regular 10 stamina pvp attacks(outside the bounty board) only take PvP rating and the target is unable to put up a bounty would be an excellent change to pvp..
plus don't forget the Revenge attack and the PvP attack option of choosing between PvP rating, Experience, or/and Gold ideas that are also in this thread. i would rather have this discussion in a more structured thread then the new feedback threads.
i still don't see how it would affect your style of PvP(if 10 stamina only took PvP rating and wasn't bountyable OUTSIDE the BB)..you will still be able to continue to play how you want to..just now you will just have to protect yourself better if you wish to keep your high PvP rating instead of 'hiding behind the fear of losing 5 levels if targeted'..since thats what everyone thinks when you attack certain players
even if its only with 10 stamina. you actually have a player in your guild that says they will take 5 levels if he is attacked offline..thats inviting lol it would be better if players would have to stick up for themselves when it came to protecting their own PvP rating, instead of hiding behind their guild/allies..
it would be nice to have an open pvp attack to experiment setups, to test top pvpers skills, pvp tag without
needing the honor system, and just to have some fun without the fear of the bounty board..changing 10 stamina attacks would open up doors for PvP style events(double pvp gain, most attacks, most pvp gained, etc) because you wouldn't have the mess/negativity that the bounty board/experience loss brings at times. not all PvP attacks should come with the bounty board option..its only a small attack on your pvp rating. its not like you are getting robbed..fight your own battles, dont let others do it for you..

isn't the same thing as regular PvP because of the -/+25 attack level range..you don't even know if someone else is going to attack you or someone else in your guild..or anyone at all because some guilds don't waste their time/stamina.
PvP Arena isn't PvP at all..no enhancements/buffs.. *thumbs down*
I WANT TO BE ATTACKED BACK!..just because of the fear of the bounty board, others are hesitant to strike back..take away that option and others will start to loosen up and start participating in PvP..Player Versus Player, a great way to meet new players, gain new friends, and learn a bit about the mechanics of this game. if only it was more inviting...
I want to PvP with players in my range without taking experience..i don't want to take it from them, thats not my bag when im trying to be friendly, and i dont want them to take it from me. If i had a choice to not take experience, that would be a great step forward..lower exp loss for all levels and you would have a better pvp system.
Atleast try to be constructive..
