Seems like a fun discussion to go on about w/ some of you newcomers and/or oldies from way back in the day that still frequent the forum who PvP'd and w/ D2R coming out who knows if it'll still be w/in the game or not.
If they removed them from D2 and/or D2R that's coming out (especially WSG), would you still want to PVP?
Was it considered OP (overpowered) to you?
Was it considered a MUST HAVE mechanic to you to enjoy PvPing?
Can't make a poll so I guess just post your thoughts/suggestions on the matter.
For those who don't know what WSG/Desynch/IBS (etc) is:
Weapon Switch Glitch is a mechanic in Diablo 2 PvP where you constantly hit W (or whatever your hotkey for weapon switching/swapping is) to get out of FHR animation/stun locks.
Desynch is when you move faster than the server updates your opponents minimap so if you move quick enough you appear to be in the wrong place, or invisible.
Invisible Bone Spirits (Also applies to Nados, Fireball, GA etc) is a mechanic in Diablo 2 PvP where you constantly spam Bone Spirits off screen and they can hit your opponents invisibly.

My opinion:
Back in the OG days of PvP (1.10/1.11 and I THINK 1.12 I don't remember exactly) WSG wasn't really a thing for PvP, so I personally wouldn't mind if it was removed/patched.
Although having playing w/ it for years afterwards (I forgot what patch it trended in, I think 1.12), it's now a norm and hard to look past it playing w/o it.

It entirely wrecks newcomers thoughts of getting into pvp too. Better yet, you ever try explaining these mechanics to friends that don't play?

NONE of you pvp, stop pretending
