It''s still a fair fight after the initial sneak attack, then it's a 1v1 until someone dies.

Think of it this way, your're a new player joining a server, haven't had much time to gear up, all of a sudden you are attacked by someone who has been playing since day 1 with the best possible gear. They were easily able to find you as your name is visible on the map making you an easy target. Now do you think that is fair?

At least with the names hidden, it will be harder for a fully geared player to find you. Even if both players are equally geared, names being hidden brings more skill into scene, who can move around and find players better if not a random encounter.

Further with names visible, this also makes your base visible if you spawn back at base, now making your base easier to find. Especially crucial at this point in the game with no available base defenses to be made.

I was just joking with the OP I do understand your point but normally I don’t do PVP anyway and I think if they’re going to have PVP in the game that it should be somewhat like it is on old RuneScape you find someone and then request a match or request PVP or maybe a PVP restricted area like the wilderness on old RuneScape but normally I wouldn’t be hosting a PVP server I was just joking with OP plus even if you get a sneak attack on someone who’s higher gear than you there’s no chance you’re going to win the fight anyway because they’re higher tier gear makes them more powerful than you so no matter if you get to sneak attack or not, it won’t make much of a damn difference you’re still gonna get your ass handed to you because their equipment is better than yours which gives them an advantage over you so it’s technically stupid to fight somebody who has higher tier gear than you and if you’re a higher tier player targeting beginner players then you’re just griefing at that point that’s not PVP that’s just being an ass a bully

I guess Runescape is not intentend as a pvp game? Nothing is balanced around pvp, fight is a bit clunky and slow for pvp, pvp with only 4 people, cmon?

I guess the "friendly fire" option (also not called "enable pvp") is there to make pve battles more demanding, cause you have to look out in a boss battle not to hit, shoot your teammats ... but if you look for a good pvp experience, there are many games, but Runescape is none of them - and I think won't be in the future?

Who said RuneScape wasn’t for PVP? They can put PVP in it. I just won’t be participating in the PVP because for me there’s no incentive to participate in player versus player battles, especially if I’m going up against a player that has higher gear than me as I won’t win the fight anyway Sometimes you just gotta know how to pick your fights and picking a fight or you’re outmatched is just a poor decision stupid and poor decision because of most games no matter if you could sneak attack your opponent or not when you pick a fight with someone who out matches you or out levels, you and I can offer you one hit that’s not a good look and it just shows a lack of intelligence it also tells your opponent that you have ankle biter energy and it only takes one good punch to knock you out lol you have to pick your fights wisely and both the real world and gaming worlds
