a pvp dmg penalty is better imo
cds just make the game slower ^^

As it was before tanky builds was totally the way to go max block for attack and spell, low life, aegis aura. Now with the cast on damage taken gems tanks just became far more tanky and got a little stronger offence. If nothing gets changed the pvp tournaments will be over run by tanks that no one can kill (that probably cant kill many other players either).

Seems so obvious to add an open PvP system to a game like this.

Did GGG learn nothing from Blizzard disappointing thousands of players with their "brawling" bullshit?

I dont get why their so hesistant to do it either. Just instance invading alone with passworded instances for those that don't want to get pk'd would be the end all be all. Can gather in a channel that people would start to universally recognize or here on the forums. The community builds itself and they'll join instances to pvp all day long for years. Resulting in people pvming,trading..doing everything you want them to socially to build their pvp characters to optimal levels. Theres 0 downside from any angle its so obvious its mind numbing.
