Maybe for xpac scrubs who were mechanically and mentally challenged.
The real PvP in D2 was happening on Classic where people didn't have level 30 skills, teleport on every character, BO on every character, inventories full of charms and items full of bullshit runewords.
Making a 200fg character on xpac and slamming everybody just showed how bad they were. There's been tons of competitions on private servers between classic players and xpac players and the xpac ones were dumpstered every single time. It's not even funny.
I don't know anyone who was a pure xpac pvper that ever managed to do anything worthwhile on classic.
that would be the same as pitting mcgregor vs mayweather but with using only boxing

or even better comparison, imagine you were training for years how to drive but with using legs instead of hands. so ofc you will win in a battle where only legs can be used for driving, the problem is...no one drives like that

dueling on classic is just purposefully gimping yourself, and i would really enjoy seeing a classic player dueling normally vs someone good and winning (normally meaning with xpac). and i dont mean if you find the best classic player you can and then pit him against xXxMfPala_PolacyxXx

but instead find a "pro classic player", and test him vs someone who is actually good (someone in the range of dha, he plays poe too and should be on this forum at least some time, not sure if he still plays d2 though). so yeah, win that in a ft5 and you can talk how classic duelers are better. until then, just no

tldr: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, give me at least a youtube video of a pvp player i know is good, losing to a classic player in a normal battle, and i will admit you are right
