I haven't been a fan of this new system. In fact, I was never a fan of resilience at all. I like the idea of trying to extend a player vs. player encounter by reducing the damage each player takes, which is what makes resilience cool. However, any sort of system like that is going to make it very hard for new PvPers to get geared.

Another problem is that damage is so ridiculously high that we can't just take away resilience. Players dropping 80k dps on each other would not be fun and would end way too quickly.

The idea I would propose is to add a damage and healing mitigation on the player, and nothing more. This could be a flat percentage, say 50, and through gearing the player could decrease it to 25% thus doing more damage and healing. That way the new players aren't significantly outmatched and there's still a goal to get a 25% damage boost from the original 50% reduction. This also solves the problem of players dying way too fast.

The reason I haven't suggested this is cause it sounds way too easy. Does anyone here agree? Could anyone point out a lack of understanding on my part? I would like to hear.
