So im playing xileRO and im leveling up my Assasin Cross, and I'm thinking PVPing...but its impossible.

In order to even put up some sort of resistance you need the highest level gears and cards.

For example:

Headgear: You need +5 Lord Kaho's horns, as well as 4 Bloody Knight Champion cards (+10 to all attributes).

Problem: Lord Kaho's horns are SUPER expensive, and if you choose to craft it yourself, you need to hunt down the boss Garm and get a Fang of Garm for one of the materials to make it. Garm only spawns once per hour in only 1 map in the game. And EVERYONE on the server is hunting for him.

And since the pvp system is not balanced (Any High Wizard can kill any character in 2 spells..and lets not forget Asura Champions), theres a set of "Standard" equipments you need.

Long story short: It takes a LONG time of preparation, farming and hunting to even begin to PvP.

But look at Guild Wars:

You wanna PvP? Make a PvP char. Voila. Go through the Zaishen challenges and learn some beginner stuff. Go to random arena and everyone has equal armors, weapons, attributes (for the most part). Its mostly lag-free, Anet actually cares and tries to balance the game. And other than annoying players, the system itself is fun and easy to get into (imo)
