TBH i expected STF's by default. What Salvador Dali said is pretty much correct but things like ping & hardware cannot be influenced so why not reducing imbalance factors down to a minimum instead of just giving up and saying "Life is unfair so screw it" ? You cannot buy someone a new mouse or cut down his ping but you can give him an equal start in terms of character build & equipment (well there should be XY amount cash and you spend it how you like i guess). As close to balance as you can get is still better then completely imbalanced, in my books at least. Yes, this is cRPG but you cannot say that it's fair to have level 33-35's fighting vs level 28-30's especially if half of the people just don't have their builds suitable for this kind of competition. Too many imbalance factors here to talk about skill, in real life whatever sport we're talking about field conditions are the same for both teams. Their input is not the same (not all players are the same height, weight, age, level of training, etc) but in the field conditions must be equal for all. Same with in-game: input factors might be different (ping, hardware, etc) but field stuff must be the same (balanced map, equal builds (with equal amount of skill & attribute points that is), gear costs (maybe not so important but still), etc). That's the way i see it, maybe I'm wrong tho.
