Vary true...The New rules could use some tweacking. I presonaly think take away the group rewards that fuel ganks, then lighten up on the GRP STRTH rules. Thats just me. I def think the Seal Clubbing rules needed to be done.

There is def a before and after GRP STRTH era in this game. The old ways were down right really harsh and unforgiving for new players. When I say new players Red Zones used to allot more intimatating for young players, or folks that did pvp that often. I remember a while back when I 1st started playing my 1st pvp incounters were being ganked by higher level players that were grouped.....I remember it rose my heart rate, I was alittle nervous in real life. I have to give potbs props for that, no other video game has ever....given me a rush.."Holy crap their bigger then me and gaining on me!!" LOL.... My excitment level has tampered down allot with pvp over time, now its just businuess as usual now. I always do better when Im totaly calm, sipping on an chilled glass with an ice cold beer in it...with a care free aditude LOL But I have to give the makers of POTBS props, the certainly did a good job, geting somewhat of an emotional responce out of people when it comes to pvp. Ive seen people have emotional melt downs pvping and then rage quit, potbs red zones can be vary intence. AHHH the pre GRP STRTH days.

I agree, the only other game that has gotten my heart to race like POTBS was EvE Online.
