It seems as though I was misinformed about snowballs. THey do not do damage. And so, there was really no reason for me to have reported that particular action in the first place.
Regardless, I can see that people have a problem with me staying in the arena at any certain time when I am not immediately ready for pvp. I stay in the arena because it is a pain to warp back and forth in and out of the arena when you are constantly pvping. Also people who supposedly want to pvp have a tendency to warp away form the arena if they do not see me waiting there. And, if the community believes that the arena is a place where pvp rules do not apply normally, then I can at least understand where people are coming from.
And with regards to the special status given to the arena, I would like to ask a question.
Do you believe that there should be a new rule that allows people to attack others with pvp off in the arena? If you believe this change is necessary, I only ask you to show me, in the future, the same leniency you have showed those who have attacked me with pvp off. If you believe this change is not necessary, then I ask you to reevaluate the need to have carried this thread to such length.
PS: Do arrows to damage to people who have pvp off?, (excluding the possible damage from ignition and fire aspect)
