I'm inclined to agree, AV is more interesting now than it was when teams were going straight for commander kills.
But still, I don't know if people will ever really learn how to pull npcs and lure them away while a 2nd person caps. Running straight into them and dying over and over seems the preferred strategy.
I know, your point?
But i would hope that they possibly make the Guards on 110 as strong as they are now.
I would say yes if it would stay as it is, dying is usually a quite direct way of punishment for doing something wrong.
People are just used to jumping in and killing them with a single AoE spell.
