The current pvp ladder system is a false representation of who pvps. It shows who plays the Ladder . Nothing more.
Anything with set rules and guidelines with a result much more than the satisfaction of having a high rating is a false representation of PvP. Back when I was a 250 with 1900 rating with nothing to gain from it, that was real PvP. This is all behind us tho. We can not try to get a system that will not be a farming system anything like that. The way it is now, which is more of ladder and not PvP, I agree, is the best it will get. Just needs more incentive to get people back in it.
incentive is what killed the ladders in the first place. Had they been bound I bet there would have been alot more participationie: If someone wanted some new shiny gear they should pvp to get it. Thats how it should be imo.
We can look at making future PvP rewards bound
