*adds her 2 cents worth* I don't see what the fuss is all about. 99% of the people I have seen (not seen) that are stealthers are crafters so I don't understand why Pvpers are so intent on killing those that can't defend themselves. Now if it was pvp stealthers there are tons of ways to find them. Conflag pots, earthquake, some myst spells, meteor swarms, elves passing by, poison fields, etc. So tell me who exactly is at a disadvantage here? Stealthers are usually on foot and hardly any have resisting spells on their template once reveal they are basically sitting ducks, with mages para spamming and such. In anycase I would probably vote to leave things as they are.
Don't tell us how to reveal stealthers or pvp please. With the comments you just made it painfully clear that you don't pvp. Everything you mentioned, i can stand right in the middle of the damage and not be revealed. Its about revealing them and them not being able to insta hide again. Also, Vaelix just mentioned about 20 ways to reveal a stealther. And "elves passing by" that's known as passive reveal.
You wern't here when there was pvp 24/7. Probably 2 years ago. The same thing is today just on a smaller scale. Everyone then was stealth archers. Stealth tamers, stealth detectors.. stealth something.
It was always the same routine. Stealth up to someone, dismount, dragon attack, everyone armor ignore. Then they would all run away.
OR, if they were getting damage, even if it was 1v1 they would smoke bomb. run away and you wouldn't see them anymore.
I don't give two ****s about killing a crafter with hiding. Hell, you're wasting skills if you put hiding on a crafter.
