well...
#1: Monster:??its FAR^23 too easy for snipers.??why no monsters with pnuema or defender skills???i dont think i've ever seen a decent hunter/sniper not get 50 points here.??rarely if ever monsters are seen with ranged attacks.??and who no monsters with massive def and low mdef.??it seems to me that as a strong melee class (LK) i rarely if ever face a challenge here.??Lastly, i would ask that all miniboss/mvp monster be given the skill auto-guard/parry/safety wall and pnuema/defender??just to make them a bit harder to kill.??and to defend against one shotting them.
#2; Item:??i think this is pretty fair trail as it stands.??perhaps just shuffle around the location of the npcs each time.??the only thing that seems unbalanced to me, is finding the damn npcs since the vets can remember where they are and what they each make.??as most others have said snipers have a massive advantage are are annoying with the killstealing, but there really isnt alot you can do about it.??i would suggest the addition of the skill defender to the monsters skills. it seems to me that if snipers have the immidiate ability to choose an arrow that deals 2x dmg.??and some classes lack a weapon to equip that can deal 2x dmg (aco has no ghost weapon, no holy 2 handed sword etc.)??that a debuff should be imposed on snipers.??especially since they're all (likely) going to be killstealing even if they dont know it as they are attacking from range and cannot necessarily see the other player.
#3 although im sure everyone (including myself, and especially the gms) are going to hate this idea.??i was thinking that there should perhaps be a manditory level to participate in pvp. (i was thinking 95+ - 97+)??although it would extend ToH it would act as a balancer for the vets vs the newer players.??PvP has the unfourtunate downside of having to have a loser. Lets say only myself and Ayu Compete in PvP, she'll beat me 5 times and get 50 points. and i'll have Zero; [so 50 points for 2 people]??but if we both compete in another event.??we'll both have great Success and and get 50 points each; [100 points for 2 people].??so doesnt it make more sense to NOT compete in pvp.
if we imposed a level participation req for pvp it would make ToH alot harder all around and filter less people into item hunt (less kill stealing).
i know this is probably unappealing since #1 i suck at pvp

and two lot more work for gms.??but in all seriousness.??this is should be difficult.??
and thats my ideas
