In PvP, there are simply classes that dominate the other classes no matter what and that depends on how the balancing is done.EQ2 was the same way when PvP was introduced as Battlegrounds on PvE servers There was a Paladin and Mystic duo that dominated some grounds, actually. Some classes we're so OP that you had to throw waves at them, such as Brawler.
Take Lineage 2 for example...
But I feel confident in saying that it won't be as much of a case in a RP community, since it seems we all have different levels of progression, so everyone could, effectively be a wildcard. Well, mostly.
I like the points mentioned about backing up your character's taunts. While RP fighting and PvP could be a solution in either way,I think it's most important to actually...I dunno, not be a bitch about it and cop out. But that's a different thing entirely, probably built for a thread named "RP Etiquette"
Otherwise, as this thread has shown, I think there's an interest in PvP here, and it should remain a choice. Maybe not an all the time thing, but it's certainly nice to mix things up a bit, especially if you know you and your opponent are evenly matched. More importantly, it should be met with the same respect as we give each other when RPing normally.
