Well, you already know I want to switch to party PvP, but I wanted to address what Arwin said.

In a party PvP system, you CAN still attack any player you want, all you have to do is leave the party and go at it. Sure, in some ways the party PvP system is less realistic, but in other ways it can be MORE realistic.

For example, assassins. They can be seen by party members, because that's how the game mechanics work, no matter how skilled they are in stealth, if they want to kill a party member in full PvP mode, they can't hide from anybody unless they LEAVE THE PARTY.

As for pets and area spells, there's no way to fix it without doing party PvP, and frankly certain classes have nothing useful BUT area of effect skills and spells. If you go full PvP it will be next to impossible to play these classes.

I don't see what it hurts to avoid killing each other accidentally because of a mis-click, it's about the most frequent OOC mistake, that people tend to ask to be ignored. If we're going to try and ignore unintentional OOC actions anyway, why not just remove the chance of them happening?
