What I don't understand is why this fetish for blues exist. If we are looking at it in a purely gameplay perspective and talking about fair 1v1 fights, there is technically no difference between winning a fight by exploding the opponent and by forcing him to dock in front of you: You have beaten him by being better and he's now PvP dead, out for two hours, for losing the duel, Why would any of the two options be better than the other then?
This surprises me that people still believe in Roleplay. I thought All hope was lost. But then you showed up and made sense of pvp and roleplay.
