The PvP on D1 in the legit community, was, as you can guess, very closed and quite esoteric in general. I played only with people I knew very well and who were legit, and we really tested everything and set the standard and boundaries for PvP in that game. Generally, we all had relatively pretty equal gear (within a couple points), and so duels came down to a person's ability, reflexes, a bit of luck, and of course, the latency situation. The lag was the biggest flaw of D1 PvP, and there were a select few builds that we banned cause they were proven to be OP or an unfair advantage over another class (Zen Sorc facing a warrior or rogue comes to mind).
I would really like a system similar to that on D3, where players face each other based on lvl, gear quality, as well as skill. OP builds will likely be discovered and the players can set rules so that such builds or particular skills are forbidden - Blizz doesn't really need to be involved in this. The people who truly love PvP will figure out all the mechanics, see what works and doesnt work, and root out all the OP builds and create our own rules so every duel is fair. I do not like being outclassed, nor do I like outclassing my opponents. Nothing is more fun than a fair duel where both players are equal in level and skill as well as items.
