Point I was making, in the arena you have the option of choosing your battles. Not an option really in story rp which I feel the point was discarded a bit, but meh, oh well.

You can indeed choose your battles in an OOC sense, but often in an IC sense you cannot. If I was the sort to get into deadly confrontations all the time I certainly wouldn't want to be killed the moment I ran into someone with a ranged weapon, that is what I mean, sorry if I misunderstood your point though.
