I agree with most of the new changes, however I do have a suggestion for the BH rule
RE:
players being able to freely skip their target if said target doesn't have a PvP Skull
While
I do feel it's partially justifiable to make this change
, to give people the option to skip a potentially higher powered opponent (un-skulled). I feel it is going to
severely impact on the communities which base their account builds on staying un-skulled
, as
the proportion of people skipping them on fights is likely to increase
; as well as them not being able to afford losing their gear if skulling every fight.
Also..if you're placing such an emphasis on people not skulling to wear high powered gear, why is it that at low/medium combat levels - you can be given a target who can be 6 levels lower or higher than yourself, which would give a far greater advantage than an additional piece of higher powered gear.
My suggestion would be to
make it so that if both you and your BH target are un-skulled, and wish to remain un-skulled when fighting - then there is an option to do this
i.e.
a BH +1 world built into our existing BH world
.
Or a BH +1 world in it's own right
.
