General Discussion / Re: Kicked for breaking opponent ladders??

I don't think ladders should be banned on battle servers, but if anything be allowed only to reach places that are otherwise reachable. (using as siege shield is fine too)

Balance is all about numbers. 5% here, 2% there. Not all numbers are out in the open, though. Maybe if we could display for everyone damage dealt/received instead of just kd ratio. Also, damage dealt by weapon type and kills by weapon type.

Having said that, it's my observation that it's melee that get most of the kills and thus melee that get most of the high kd rankings every game even though there's usually a sizable amount of ranged players.

Even the highest kd ranged are usually very good in melee and rack up a sizable part of kills from melee.

I'm starting to believe this is a troll thread.

I think crpg is pretty balanced right now. Perhaps throwing is a tad OP, but they also have limited ammo. 

If you guys want to talk realism, I think ranged has been nerfed too much, especially bows. If you've seen Shakespeare's Henry V, you'd have heard of Agincourt. 7000 archers and 1500 men-at-arms (8500 total) beat a French army numbering from 10,000-36,000.

Imagine the rain of arrows in that battle...
