You don't seem to understand a single thing I'm saying so it's no point to argue with you. Just because Bards aren't the most played class doesn't mean you can ignore them. Trust me there will be loads of bards due to the fact that everyone knows how powerful they are right now. This is not EQ PVP from 10 years ago when no one had a clue .This is EQ pvp in 2011.
I'm not saying you should balance PVP around BUFFS AND BARDS, but it should be a factor in the decisions you make when you tweak a resist system. Therefor the difference between a MR of 100-120 to 150-200+ shouldn't be that huge or things will get out of control fast. Just adding 1 class into a group shouldn't turn your group from resisting CC 50% to 95%. That is pure unbalance. You, Darwoth and whoever the other randoms are you mentioned just want a system where you can roll in with 6 ppl and be immune to all CC to be able to fight a zerg for example. Darwoth even said so himself in PM's to me. He want a system where a group of a few people can actually fight a huge zerg due to them all being immune to all CC.
You can also talk about the old days all you want but it got nothing to do with this server. On this server people are coming prepared. Most people are rolling with a guild or a big group of friends compared to back in the day when 95%+ of all players just started alone on a PVP server. You're delusional if you really think most people will run around alone on this server. I haven't found a single player yet on beta out of like 300+ that's rolling into this server all alone without a guild or several friends.

This is the most funny thing of all. If you really think Developers spent much time or thoughts on balancing PVP back in the days then you're even more delusional then I thought. It's a fact that they didn't give a flying fuck about PVP servers since it's always been like 0-2% at most of the whole Everquest population. Balancing PVP was probably one the last things they had in back of their minds when patching the game. I don't even know. But I bet it took them over a year, if not years to do some proper patches for PVP if they even made any at all?
