Let me speak briefly about gold theft here. BigGrim has already stated that this will remain virtually untouched and I agree that it should. I believe that the theft rate will be modified to reflect the attacker's PvP XP (by whatever name we call it), i.e. the greater the level the higher the gold take. In my experience, we are averaging 25% for each hit.... this is including what is scattered and left behind. Of this amount, roughly 10% is left behind... Every now and then, I will get 50%, and even more rarely, MT will kick in and I will take it all.... Most of the time, MT occurs during a 10 stam bounty kill or a prestige hit, and only extremely rarely when my sole intention is to steal your gold, so that usually these MT grabs are small amounts indeed. With the changes, these amounts will change, and nobody knows for sure how or how much yet. By tying the ratio of gold taken into the PvP XP level of a player, that player has an incentive to keep that level as high as possible... I plan to keep mine high, just because I want to be a PvP superstar. So, those of you who are afraid you're going to be robbed blind with no impunity, think again. This is from a hardcore PvPer's perspective.... There will still be consequences, they will just be new and will take some time for all of us to adjust to...
