Hello. Good Day Kingsisle. I am just giving my opinion, but also the opinion of almost everyone else that plays 4v4 pvp. Simply put, we don't like the new update for pvp. The turn-base and the new pip change, and everything. The main problem with 4v4 is the death spell "Beguile." Don't get the wrong idea, we don't want to remove the spell, but make "Beguile Blocks." Just like we have "Stun Blocks." I know the majority of people will enjoy that tremendously more than how it is now. People in the past spammed Beguile on the team that was second and that is not fun at all. However, if wizards were able to have "Beguile Blocks" then it would be much more manageable. Its a win/win situation. Beguile doesn't get removed, nor would we have to deal with turn base. This is the best option for this kind of problem.
OR, the other alternative is to get rid of turn base, but leave Beguile as it is. But you guys will still inevitably get complaints from people about wanting to do something with Beguile. So, if anything is done to Beguile, the majority would prefer it as I have stated it. Also, please come out with better resistance gear. There is so much offense in this game and not enough defense to combat it. Do not take away resistance for pvp. That's the main thing that's keeping us from feeling the full wrath of offense. This nearly sums up the majority's interests for 4v4 pvp as a whole. Thank you for considering my message. Have a great day.
PS: I play 4v4 pvp every day. It is the only reason I play wizard101 as of now. And I'm not the only one. 4v4 pvp as of right now, is completely dead. No one is hardly playing. Fundamentally, that means loss of players, which eventually ends up as loss of money for you guys.

I believe the programmers & designers are looking into Beguile. I would think "spamming" the spell has come up in conversation from time to time.
I was going to suggest to use death dispels, but I had forgotten you can only use so many of those lol.
The best thing you can do right now is to continue to play and offer your feedback. It's been stated several times that KI is going to try "new seasons" of the fourth age. The seasons will be a testing ground for the new changes coming. Once everyone gives their feedback and PVP feels legit, they will then introduce the fifth age!
This information has all come from the Developer/KI live streams. Also, I want to point out that this topic, at the moment, is not really a bug. Try to post suggestions in The Dorms/Player vs Player so it gets noticed by the right people.
