So, I first want to cover a few presuppositions, just so you can follow my line of thinking here.
1: I have no expectations of PvP or Class being handled ever again. In fact, I'm quite confident when I say that the current meta we have now will be what we have until the game inevitably dies to some unforeseen event or simply just age.
2: Balance in PvP post Runes, is a huge problem. With the current DPS Meta being dominated by Katar Raiders and Mages [Most specifically hard CC spamming Mages], getting anything or having any type of chance to play a class that's not one of those two archetypes while maintaining a sense of fun, is next to impossible. Again, this is just my opinion.
3: Crashing has all but broken interest in large scale PvP. Even I myself have fallen prey to the idea that I'll take even a small scale 2v2 or 3v3 Arena if it just gives us something to do that's NOT Draconis Peaks. The biggest problem, is that Rewards are not distributed as you earn them, and with the looming inevitability that you will crash at some point in that match, you're effectively doing the game mode for no or very little reward. I also don't see them fixing this issue or changing how your rewards are distributed in PvP GA modes.
Right so, with that out of the way, I can get to the crux of this post.
I think the IP Cap should just be done away with.
Will it enable leeching? 99.9% Sure it will
Will it enable people to battle themselves / family? Uh.. yeap.
Does any of that matter? Nope, not really.
Here's why. You have an entirely broken, imbalanced PvP system, that's supposed to be played for fun, and rewards earned along the way.
Instead what you have is an utterly infuriating experience, that forces players to either give up, or become extremely agitated and angry. And then guess what, they come here and yell.
So, from my somewhat pessimistic outlook on ROSE Developmental future, coupled with my position on the current meta, I've slowly come to the conclusion that you've already ruined PvP permanently. You might as well just let people have fun with it while they have the chance to.
That my opinion, but I'd be interested in hearing what people have to say. Obviously we can talk about how and why IP limits were put in and how it's going to be annoying to get into someones AFK mode or whatever, but that's part of the conversation.
