Debuff icon to show your current stealth penalty

Under most circumstances I would totally agree... However, the minute they explain how it works is the same minute some people being to exploit or work around it. This mechanic was put in place to slow down the stealth zergs or stealth groups that camp many areas. 2 scenarios: you have either been on the receiving end of multiple arrows from a collection of stealthers or you were part of a group of stealthers that does this. I have been in both scenarios and I can tell you that it is overkill.

If they give you a full understanding of how this works then a couple people will break down the information and start building stealth groups where players stand exactly x number of units away to negate the penalty etc etc.

The problem isn't the fix, the problem is the players that caused the fix. If people on this server would learn to not be overly cheesy for their wins then the GMs and developers wouldn't have to put dumb stuff like this in in the first place.

There is so much cheese on this server its like an uncut prick that hasn't been washed in a week.

Bottom line: Get good, stop being cheesy.

Again to reiterate: I have been there, its fun sometimes and its a novelty build but players that abuse its effectiveness daily lead to multiple stealther groups all over the map and then people just stop coming out to play.

As a player who mostly solos, and solos on a visible toon, I can tell you that the number of other solos that come out to fight has drastically changed due to how often they are ganked when just trying to get to a location to fight. Everything we do on this server eventually has an impact on the servers future. This is the impact of being cheesy just saying.
