There's a few things that come to mind right off the bat. One of them is resists. A set of gear can make one class completely useless. Up against a druid? Stack MR and they'll never be able to use 2 of their main abilities, snare and root. Personally, when I cast a spell, I want to know it's going to land, or else why cast it? And I certainly don't want it resisted based off a set of items someone can put on and take off in a matter of seconds.

Another example is certain classes just plain being better than other classes at the same role. Why would you ever make a warrior when you could make a SK? They play essentially the same role in pvp, only SKs have a huge nuke once an hour and they can slow. Warriors can pop a disc once every 30 mins to differentiate themselves? Or wizards and druids. Druids are just wizards, only their nukes suck, relatively.

Also, bards. Jack of all trades, master of all trades. I could get into them in detail, but lets just say if you don't have a bard in a skirmish and the other guy does, you're gonna have a bad time (especially outdoors).

Oh, and while I'm thinking about it, stealth gets that abilities completely negated by one spell or clicky item.

Oh ya, and clicky items. They might be fun, but they're completely unbalanced.

Can't AFK camp something or AFK med on a PVP server though. It also unclassicly disincentives solo play.

A 15 year old game tends to attract people at points in their life where they either don't have consistent long blocks of time where they can play or where they have to leave or AFK at a moments notice for awhile.

A PvP server isn't fun for those types of people to play on. Pretty simple. That's one of the biggest reasons red's population will always be small.

if you have to afk, it takes 30 seconds to camp or /q, or just zone and plug

there are plenty of people who play solo, not sure what you're talking about

it just forces you to play smarter
