I bought membership so I could start doing ranked on my Level 80 myth again, so I could finally get to warlord, But as soon as i got a match It placed me up with a level 110 Life, whom completely wrecked me in one hit! Needless to say I lost knight because of that. the next 3 matches I lost to Balances spamming loremaster. Loremaster should either be banned in pvp OR finally make it 5 Pips. It does too much to be worth 4 pips. So i'll stick to practice until 4th age. This PvP system SUCKS!
Another thing that needs addressing is lvl 118 shadow spells. When I was a lvl 115 wizard, I faced 120 lvl wizards with their 4 pip aoe shadow spells. Of course, I knew the risk of this happening but I PvP anyway. Now I'm in lvl 118 and I still don't get my shadow spell.
I think it's ridiculous that players are able to inflict over 3k damage to their opponents with just 4 pips. Max PvP wins relie a lot on who goes first and who gets his/her shadow pips the soonest. I have watched countless max PvP matches were the second player could have won if he/she went first—this shouldn't be how PvP works. PvP isn't even that fun anymore; there isn't a lot of strategy going on. Most of the time I log into the game, I spend it decorating my house and crafting. That's literally it.
