Fight someone in your own level of PVP expirience. (Discussion)

Make an account-based rating system simmilar to the GW1 ladder system for guilds. This way, whenever a player is going to play pvp, the system will check his rating and find him an equal opponent. If it's a party vs party so the system will take the average of the whole group and find an equal match.

This mechanic will prevent players that are new at PVP to enter hardcore pvp.

Why this is a good idea

• No more frustrated losing, just because you had a fight against a pro team
• No more abuse of experienced pvp players going to low-tier zones to face un-skilled opponents.

Why it may not work out

• Subject to griefing: i.e. someone deliberately lets himself lose a bunch just to kill a bunch of less experienced players.
• Assumes there will only be one type of PvP.
