Im just wondering.....what if gold is also not affected if it is outside the vl of -10+10..you can only steal gold inside your virtual level range. :?:

I've lost gold to people outside the +/-10 range.



What I'm saying is you can only lose gold inside your virtual level range but not lose gold outside of it....you only lose rating outside of the VL

Simple as that, or you change your PvP band or I'll stop to play. I'm not here to give the change for player with 60, 70 ,80 levels above mine. 10 attacks in 10 hours by different players, get BORED!

I lost gold to someone 50 levels higher than I am. VL or RL.
You're suggesting that shouldn't be the case.
Well, opinions will differ, but I disagree. Protecting my gold against PvPers is a game I play now. I don't mind losing it occasionally. I always mind XP loss tho.

annnnnd they're still risking a bounty for what is basically less hurt on "levelers" and the same cost in stam. So I see no problem with being able to steal gold from those you hit outside the +/- 10

I didn't vote on this one because the question as it stands doesn't address the bands' problem, as I see it. Instead of adding more bands, I think that the PvP should be restricted back to a 10 or 20 levels range, and the bands used as "divisions" or categories - so the top players between level 100 and 199 would get their prizes, and the same for other level ranges. These divisions should NOT mean that anyone within a band can target anyone else, as that introduces fairness issues for PvPers, and targetability issues for the levellers/merchants/buff-sellers/etc (ie. the majority of players!) In other words, the new system introduces problems for ALL players and player types.

I didn't vote either as there is no opt out option. I'm not paying your protection racket as that is an ridiculas cost. Have hardly been attacked in my years here which has kept me here as I find no pleasure in pvp. Last night as feared, I was hit while leveling and I had to laugh because the attacker said "Cheers" afterwards and they no it - just sitting there waiting for myself to pop up on a silly page.... attack - win. May not mind so much if these useless buffs actually worked once in awhile and protected you. Would be so nice to see someone fail for once and you actually took their coin instead, for their cheeky doings. Frustrates me.

Okay, I am the farthest thing from a pvper within the game. I finished 4th this morning and currently ranked number 1 now in my band. Something is definitely wrong with this picture when someone with zero skills in a particular aspect of a game can rise to the top in minutes flat. I have no clue as to what I am doing and yet I am beating players 40+ levels above me at will. Perhaps they will wake up, scrap this mess they have concocted and begin again. Most definitely in doing so, the end results could be no worse.

yeah... I am not a PvPer (yet anyway), and now I am on the bloody ladder AND I DON"T WANT TO BE !!

How did I get there?? Well, someone saw I had gold because I was hunting, and took a swing at me and lost. So I got the unwanted points and rating. So now I am on the ladder and the others will probably assume (judging from comments in this and other threads) that I now PvP..... *sigh*

I don't like this ladder thingy at all....

I am not a PVP'er either and in fact feel that it is extremely lame that it be forced upon. I put a lot of time into the game, not to mention donations and then some tool trying to increase his place in the ladder can come and steal it? This is seriously taking the fun from the game.

I've been asked by HCS to post a reply, so here it is. 1) I am not a fan of PvP, but I do enjoy other aspects of the game. As the system is set up now, it favors those who PvP over those who don't. The typical recourse if you get hit, is to bounty. But once you've placed a bounty on a specific individual, you can't place a second bounty on the same individual for 48 hours, even if they keep hitting you.

The second option would be to do a de-level, but that only works if you've got a top end guild to back you up. Sorta S.O.L. if you're from a small guild (most of us are).

My wish (which I know is totally unrealistic), is for those who want to PvP, have at it with those who also want to PvP, and those who want no part of it are imune to those attacks.

Last comment; 10fsp for 24 hour PvP protection is too much. If you're going that route, try 1FSP/24 hours. That's reasonable.
