What went wrong with AO/its community?

okay, i’ll explain

so the big argument for why agility is beneficial for pve players is that they can build it to escape ganks

however…

  1. pvp players also build agility, oftentimes to a more effective degree than pve players since they likely have a minmaxed / complete build
    it’s easy to see how this turns world pvp into an agility tax where you physically can’t get away if you fail the tax
  2. with the removal of agility, pve players don’t have to build 4 million agility just to avoid pvp encounters
    they’ll actually be allowed to build shit that matters
  3. with everyone being the same speed, running is easier
    i see so many idiots constantly go “no agility will make pvp forced!!!”
    no the fuck it won’t
    it shouldn’t even be difficult to understand
    attacks freeze you in place
    the person running does not have to attack
    the person chasing does
    therefore if everyone has the same agility, running becomes favoured
