I think +/-8 is important for level 40+ content. It's not about ensuring that the fight is always fair, it's about ensuring that you can always PvP against people who show up to compete for content that matches their level. There's plenty of content that matches a span of more than 5-6 levels. You could have a few level 42-43 players camping frenzied ghoul, for instance. Being unable to PvP for that camp would suck. Meanwhile, making dungeons FFA is difficult because you can typically begin going there in your mid-30s but won't be competing for any content wanted by the high-levels. A level 36 paladin soloing the lguk entrance shouldn't be attackable by every level 50 who zones in. 8 levels is about right for the purpose of content competition, anything less will guarantee stifled PvP some of the time. This will be especially important since KSing is legal.
