Besides, you can start out at max lvl right, via PvP char?

Once again I say Presearing should be the place to learn the basics of PvP not Postsearing.

It would eliminate droknars forge armor and elite skills, the weapon thing I guess is just too hard to plug.

I do however agree with you completely on the pre searing arena, having a low level arena, with no elites, no uber weapons, and no silly armor would seriously make for a great PvP introduction.

[When your character reaches Droknars, you are only permitted in level 20 arenas.
Easy fix.]

I agree with this idea 100%, if you've made it to Droknars then you should only be allowed in the lvl 20 arenas.

But, I will go onto say if you've made it to Lions Arch you should only be able to goto level 20 arenas and Yaks Bend Arena, because players would just goto the next step down in armor upgrades from Droks armor and then still head back to the Ascalon Arena.

So there would have to be blocking points for the first two arenas. BUT, and this is a big BUT, there needs to be a level 16 to 19 or 20 arena, because from what I've seen nobody wants anyone in the level 20 arenas except level 20's. I've seen them drop and ridicule and curse and call names to just about everyone who isn't level 20. Though they will tolerate level 19's for the most part. There was a level 12 ranger the other day in the level 20 arena, laffin, we killed him so fast.

At Poise at level 10 or below you're not going to have a whole lot of HP's to be using a superior rune of anything -75hps is a lot for level 10 and below. You'll be dead wearing "correct armor" before you could even swing it at anybody most likely. I'd rather take my chances on a max dmg weapon vs untouchable armor.

As much as people hate this unfortunately Anet has said they support running like Droknors for example. Yes, I agree Droknors armor/15k armor in lower level arenas is a plague that needs to be solved but eliminating Running all together is not the thing to do since its part of the Guild Wars economy. I really do like the Armor restrictions based on arena that would more than likely fix a huge part of it (also if u want to tear those Droknor armor people nothing is sweeter than smiting them to death had a 76 win streak before I droped and team went on to 92 with skills and armor from only around ascalon).

On the note of 3 characters to unlock everything. Yes, you can do that, but some people like to play different primaries which can take time.

Anyways, Yes something should be done to help prevent these kinds of end game armors in low level arenas

P.S. I would not reccommend running unless you have played thru the game multiple times otherwise. So for all you new players out there that may be reading this I beg please play thru the game first and also don't take the ascalon and yak's bend arenas too seriously they can be fun, but as you have read they tend to have a lot of high level armor in a low lvl arena situation. Most Importantly of all just try to have some fun.

That's just sad...

whos the noob here?
the one that needs max armor and elites..
or the one that just started playing this game and that probably could still kick his ass?

I neeed a grotto runner and will pay 25k for that run

From previous thread, was told to place in an existing thread:

Since it's Anets stand that running is ok, but, that they might make it harder in some cases. I have an idea for the Droks run. Put some carefully placed npc's that cast imagined burden and lots of degens like life transfer and phantasm, maybe throw in a few energy drainers as well.

Imagined burden would be thrown by the initial npc's as the player gets within agro range. The 2nd stage would be the degeners with life transfer and phantasm at the end throw in a couple of eles to finish them off with lightning bolts and fireballs.

Then have one of the npc's scripted to go over and start dancing on the players corpse like players do in PVP.
