    83% of people are for removing it.
    Last time it was ~60% I believe. People must have converted since then. lol.
    This makes me happy. :p

    Yes! I really hope disarm is removed! The only people who vote for disarm to not be removed are those who have stolen swords, pickaxes, bows, and other good tools from disarm.

    Axes, however, should be ok, there's always the ability to do /spawn if you're being hit by axes and don't want your armor broken, it's not half as bad as disarm. Axes can also be good for you cause if you want someone to go away all you have to do is take out an axe and begin chopping :laugh:

    Unfortunately, this isn't an official vote, it won't do much but possibly make Andrew create another official one, so don't get too excited.

    My actual point (not my blunt, stupid one earlier) is that disarm adds another aspect to the game and it allows players to add a pinch of strategy to their fights. I agree that players running into PvP butt nekked and trying to disarm people is quite annoying, but there is protection against it (a la iron grip style) so if you put in the time they did, it shouldn't be all that bad. I don't see why disarm is all that bad, honestly, as there are ways to counter its effects, even if you don't have insanely high stats, as you could just switch to an empty slot. (or you could use my strategy and start throwing stacked non-stacking items at them, so that they do almost no damage. Try it, it's funny.)

    So now that I can't understand what I'm saying, either, I'll just try to put my point across:
    Disarm should stay, as it adds more aspects to PvP
    It's not really all that bad, when I'm disarmed, I just think to myself "well that wasn't my brightest idea, now was it?"
    If it gets removed, it could allow more removals, like removing the axe skill after people with crazy axe skills start shredding armor in a few hits

    I could probably put some more reasons, but I'm hungry and food is happening soon :D

    i could go and raise my iron grip and have a CHANCE of not losing it, but thats wasting more time for just decreasing the chance of losing it. plus disarmed is getting removed not the entire unarmed skill itself. so if disarmed got removed people would still use unarmed as it does damage quiet decently to new players who run into pvp with no armor, instead of wasting your sword durability. as i said before many of the top users with unarmed agree on removing it, and the top 3 clans all agree on removing it. as well that the poll is still in the favor of removing it.

    your argument is invalid

    2 things are wrong with this. For one, iron grip chance does NOT increase. Thats right, it's preset. Also, serious PvPers like myself are looking to fight people, not take people's weapons and run/tp. No matter how much you argue that it is used for "strategy", most of the time it isn't. I know maybe 2 people who use it to not take weapons.

    I wouldn't be able to justify my reasons cause' I'd have to read over all the arguments or d0rc would cut me so i'm just gonna say this:

    Get rid of it, it's Unfair, no one uses it for how it should of been used (Doing damage with ur fits).

    Yeah, this is the truth.
    Most people these days go into PvP with no armor on to try to take a weapon - that's all they do with it. If disarm was used the way it was intended (Take the weapon and use it against them.) instead of the way it is now (Attack them with no gear on - hope for disarm and run away. Repeat until successful.) I'd almost be fine with it. However, since it's not this way, there is no strategy for those who are on the disarm side. The only strategy used is on the side that is being disarmed. This creates an imbalance - only one side needs strategy, which is unfair. Both sides should have to have a strategy for any situation. One side needs a strategy in order to not lose anything, the other needs a strategy to just make things go faster with no loss on their side. They don't even need one and still have the advantage.

    I can see where you are coming from, how it's a feature that you need to be strategic to defeat, but that doesn't make it a fair one. I've on the other thread compared them all - all other McMMO skills form a triangle for which triumphs which, but unarmed triumphs all of them in a way it shouldn't, because it's not being used the intended way.

    Only good aspect in disarming is disarming those dang axes! >:O
    but in all seriousness...
    Disarming is a one way street for the unarmed people. Run in, slap someone in their face, steal their best weapon, and RUN AWAY!
    And that is how all major unarmed players started. Mrpublic, Ajr, Ajp, Limsy, Brycey, sito, vdub...
    List can go on. But we all know that those people started their unarmed just to steal others weapons and run away.

    All in all. Disarming should go. NOT unarmed. (or u could just make disarming chance .01%)

    If you cant remove it, turn the chances of the disarm down.

    The only ones that vote for disarm to stay are the ones that just run into battles to steal stuff and then run away without really pvping.

    By the way guys, @andrewkm doesn't actually do anything. He disabled because otherwise he would get 100 private messages every hour

    AGREED
    There is nothing more annoying then sitting in your spawner/mining for half-an-hour and enchanting a sword, only to have a person who has nothing and runs in just to attempt to steal your sword, then if you DO kill them they just run back and do it again.
    Training unarmed SHOULDN'T just be because you want to steal people's hard work. Training unarmed should be so you can do more damage. If you train unarmed, wonderful. That means you can do some extra damage. If disarm is removed then you can't steal somone's hard earned sword.

    This also brings up my other point.
    Powertooling /warp to something and/or using fly in PVP arenas, it should be a fair fight with level ground. I would like to see the pvp roof be at 2 blocks high. And /warp disabled.

    Just some input
    And beat that d0rc.

    Maybe 3high for jump attacks and I do like how you point out that unarmed is ok but disarm is a problem.

    Remove Disarm

    I am in the /mctop (top 10) with almost 400 unarmed and I am fully in favor of removing disarm. We Should remove it. it ruins a lot of the fun of the game because people seek not to kill you in fair combat, but just to grab your weapon and run. it make s a lot of people i know (myself included) not even want to go into pvp since what usually happens is someone grabs your weapon and runs away. I think removing disarm and even lowering the damage axes do to armor would make the game more fun for everyone overall.



    just my 2 cents :)
