The community.
I didn't read thread, but I'm usually unopposed to wipes on these boxes in general. There have been so many issues trying to get this server to the relatively un-exploitable place it's at now.
Like the invis pulling trivialized VP, fungi camp, and dozens of other important camps really early on.
The only catch is I wouldn't play that much anymore if it stayed in Kunark with a wipe or any type of thing Kergan mentioned.
The majority of this community is painstakingly toiling away in Kunark content when it's all been done and seen for years. Velious is titties, and we want to see it.
I do think some of the more hardcore players that are generally terrible for this community overall left because resists and melee are pretty out of sync with how live was. You can see the empirical evidence of that in mass PvP.
Those 45v50's or even numbered fights with the 2 top tier guilds fighting took 5 minutes. It's because nukes can melt people, and melee can shred people right now.
Battles like that took hours on live for one side to come out on top. That's a large majority of what's missing from this server - there's very little sustainability on any character with the way melee and resists operate here.
Also the 5% interrupt per hit on players is pretty ridiculous. Warriors kick stun and crippling blow stun lock is retarded.
There are a lot of little things (relative to the problem with the population) that could improve the PvP scene as a whole, but it would take some big overhauls from Alecta or whomever is doing changes now.
