+1 Tumbleweed, especially for the observation that Ryzom's pvp is very gear-centric and dependent on rngeezus.
If I want pvp, I'd rather play Dota, where you don't have to hunt 3 weeks for your pvp jewels, and then another 6 months mastering all relevant skills.
No stupid 50% dodge chance if you're a master and I'm merely 20 levels below (actual numbers may vary). No restoring someone's life completely with one double heal. No frustration that you can be a master nuker and still fail to kill someone after several attacks in a row because pvp jewels can be balanced to resist/absorb literally everything you throw at them...
I know, I know, unfair comparison across genres. Yet one game fails to deliver entertainment value under this aspect, and one doesn't.
