Yes, because your subjectivity is based on your ranged experience (I just checked your signature).
EDIT: nwm.
But the question remains, why people resort so heavily in this game on them in order to generate some sort of result...i, as a result of my gaming history, i feel noobish to spam gazilions of absorption and healing pots.
I came from a ''gaming ideology'' where pots spamming takes NO SKILL .
What are you even talking about? Every potion type has 3 minute cooldown, you cant "spam" them in any way
Majority of classes in this game has no way to reliably heal themselves, and also don't really have any defensive CDs apart from M1, so potions fill both of those niches.
Im not sure what is that background of yours where using an important part of the game that takes time, preparation and grining is considered "no skill" but its certainly not an MMORPG mindset.
This isn't a duelling game, its an Open RvR game where you have no guarantee of a fair fight. An enemy might be baiting you or a 3rd party could join the fight at any minute.
Beyond that surviving and landing kills is the
core of the game's progression and gameplay, expecting people to give up on that for vague fairness in a fight is not sensible.
That said though, many gankers who know each other prefer to do duels without potions, when possible. And will often disengage when joine by 3rd party.
