I play World of Warcraft competitively and I think this game has tons of potential to be a hardcore pvp game! With all the resistances and builds on gear could make for some interesting pvp. IMO all this game really needs is a hardcore arena system, rankings and titles at the end of each season similar to what WoW has to offer and maybe some skills lol... 0 skills = no fun swinging your sword all day, kinda gets old fast.
But yea imo arenas and this game will be very very solid and appeal to the more hardcore side of the mmo genre. Don't let a game like this go to waste, add those arenas and your numbers will triple!
i think 'triple' is probably an exaggeration but yeah pvp is sometimes fun
i totally disagree with the skills bit: pvp is a lot more exciting when it comes down to player A versus player B
instead of "player A's character's skill set and ridiculous rare equipment" versus "player B's character's skill set and ridiculous rare equipment"
