Please bear in mind that this blog was made in regards to Dark Souls PvP and not Dark Souls II PvP. I only brought up the Agape Ring as a response to your story specifically.

That said, I have fun PvPing regardless of who I'm playing. That's not the problem.

The problem is for the relatively new players that don't understand build optimization the way veterans do, and will have a rougher pvp experience. Dark Souls (as a series) has a rough learning curve, and a lot of new players end up jumping ship before they can learn. On the plus side, this means that those who remain are the more diehard fans that makes the overall community stronger as a whole, but it also makes it harder for new players to get involved. I'm not saying the PvP is inherently bad (we have too many threads of complainers as it is), but I always feel bad invading new players who clearly just started playing for the first time.
