    This is not PVP: This is an arena death match, and there's a big difference.

    It's fine if that's what you're into, that's a good use of structured "areas" like this one:

    But PVP doesn't have "stats" and it certainly doesn't have windows that track how long you've been in an area, or how many kills you have.

    Please remove the unimmerssive arena sports stats window from Shardfalls and other PVP areas.

    I agree 100% with this. These STAT windows also hamper people that snuck in to gather materials in the shardfalls. All that people have to do is see if anyone is there and then abuse the /follow command (another exploit, works even if the target is stealthed!) It leads them to that person without having to do anything.

    If you want to find me explore! STAT windows take away my chance to go in unseen and do some gathering.

    Agree 100%

    Any displayed data like that is akin to tournaments. I would much rather see "personal" kill counts.....a bit like "I must consider my sins".

    I don't go there even in SPO. But if they keep it on for SPO, there shouldn't be any resources there to find.

    Include POTs who choose to be Open PvP as well. If I am trying to stealth into an area unnoticed, it is ridiculous that there is a big notice saying that I am in that same zone. No element of surprise.

    I agree with this also. I posted a thread on the same thing a week or two ago, with the same thoughts as most everyone so far in this thread :) You should not be announced by a leaderboard in pvp areas, its impossible to sneak up on people if they know your in the area. Or as mentioned if you are trying to gather, but the pvp'rs are actively looking for you because your name is on a gigantic billboard.
