    I really don't care how good they think they are. When I can hit them for 1500 dmg in one hit their skill isn't going to matter they will be dead before the stun ends.

    No it turns strategy into blind swinging and praying. There is no strategy when you don't know your opponent.

    You seem awfully full of yourself. I'm certain that there are people out there who could beat you (or me) effortlessly even without having equivalent gear. There are people out there that are better than you. There are people out there who will beat you even if you have the advantage.

    Since when is using a disguise not a strategy? Just because you can't handle it and adapt to the situation doesn't invalidate it as being a strategy. I'm starting to think that you don't even know what a strategy really is and are just looking to take the easy road.

    Tricking your opponent into underestimating you is a strategy. Having glamour on to make yourself look like ilvl60 healer when you're an ilvl90+ is playing smart. Your enemy thinks you're an easy kill. When you're not. That is in fact a strategy. It's called deceiving or think of it as Military deception.

    Ahhh, the days where you could equip your noob gear and change it to your high level one when a fool looking for an easy prey attacked you... Hahaha.

    And yes, that's strategy, and that kind of deception has been used countless times in real battles & wars (like some soldiers from army A attacking some merchants, only to find that they were trained soldiers from army B in disguise).

    But nowadays many PvPers can't stand these kind of risks, so I doubt that glamours will be enabled in Frontlines.
