I just ran into wwfdamorte who is level 492 in a mentor match. The problem was that he was the antag and we had a level 3, an 8, a 73 and an 81. And of course he went all out with Lycus using a maxed pepper pot, so that ended instantly. Good to know the community is so supportive of new players that a level 500 is picking on newbies.
I really don't know how long they're going to run with this brutal unforgiving PvP philosophy. I don't want to make more post about it anymore and kind of want to lay low and wait and see, but I hope they got something in store that we don't know about. Because, it looks like they're going to try and push this even more with guilds, which is cool sounding at first glance, but when you look at the state of PvP you realize that it will just be one or two guilds of 300+ players branding their flag on all the missions. People want to believe that there will be a back and forth with a war between guilds, this won't be the case because a handful of wolves will congregate in one or two packs and it won't be them fighting each other, it will be a race to see who can eat the most sheep (low level new players) faster than the other. This handful of players will be the sole beneficiaries of this system while it will be an terrible experience for new players.
(Extra Optional Sidebar: This was extremely evident in World of Warcraft with the Burning Crusade expansion, no one really say any Raids, it was just a handful of guilds while the vast majority of players were barred from this experience due to not being a part of these elite few. I remember this back then, I'm old. But they adapted and changed this with LFR in the next expansion eventually and fixed the issue.) /sidebar
If they implement a guild system there has to be some form of protection for new payers otherwise these wolves, these high level PvPers will cause the "sheep" to go extinct. Without any healthy "eco system" the system will die. I really try not to care about PvP so much anymore (I'll always hate it, that's life), I just don't want one of my favorite games to go the way of Evolve. I've already been through this tragedy, it sucks.
