A problem I have personally encountered in the game is sort of a general lack of sense of realism when it comes to combat. I can understand two people getting into a fight and pre-planning who is going to win or lose, and I've done so with friends who I like, but I'll see things that just make me shake my head.
Normally the standard reaction to being stabbed in the stomach or shoulder isn't to get mad and then have the strength to punch someone in the face while three feet of steel is still rammed into your body. Likewise, when someone casts a ball of fire at you and it hits your chest plate, that armor is going to be so hot that it could partially melt and the under padding could even catch fire.
Arrows are either shrugged off or considered to both have the speed and penetrative power of bullets while still arching like arrows. As a former competition archer, I can assure you that you can't have it both way sunless you're firing from a long, long way off with a bow that has such a strong draw that you would have to be a Roegadyn to pull it back.
I really just avoid combat RP like the plague.
