Firstly I know I chose to limit my account to an iron man and therefore I should stand alone, the following suggestion has no impact on that aspect of the game mode.
Currently iron men gain no experience from pvp activities in the wilderness or pvp worlds. As a consequence this puts iron men at a disadvantage in pvp situations, because as you gain no experience you can't predict what your next hit is going to be before the hit splat appears on screen as you can with regular accounts. The game mechanic means that you get the xp drop appears before the hit appears meaning you can change weapons and have more chance of killing someone from your combo when pking.
I am not suggesting that iron men should get full experience when pking (although that would be nice), but rather a reduced rate of experience. For example 10% of the usual xp rate (something similar occurs in quest areas etc).
I hope it is clear what I'm talking about but I'm aware that not everyone will understand. I think that this would level the playing field for pking and not compromise the integrity of ironman mode at all. Some of us do want to pk properly
