Really nice discussion…

I agree with the OP: It would be nice to be able to at least *try* an approach to PvP similar to the Monster Con. Please notice the word TRY; I am not saying that I know for a fact that such system is flawless or even that it would be better: I am just saying that such a system *might* work.

On another point, I feel we are not going anywhere with the discussion if we keep using the example of 1 lvl 10 vs 1 lvl 50 – I think we can all agree that, unless the lvl 50 is without defenses, completly debuffed and just /em boombox in place, the lvl 50 should win. (Notice that I agree on the fact that the lvl 10 CAN kill the lvl 50 – And that is something that happens all the time on comic books; usually is the less powerful hero that can beat the big, powerful villain, usually because the villain is distracted or gloating or just plain stupid - but the opposite case is known to happen)

What we are really discussing here if a lvl 30 can take down a lvl 40 on a 1-on-1 fight. I feel that the lvl 30 should have a fighting change; let’s say that if both are played by equally skilled players, the lvl 30 should win at least 30% of the time. Under the actual CON system, there is almost no chance that a lvl 35 hero can kill (erm, *arrest*) a lvl 40 villain.

If this is the case, then I guarantee you, that people will be building a character, just about every two days, with the sole purpose to take out higher level characters. Why ?
Because this is "Fun" to them. May not be "Fun" to others, but this is reality, and many people get their kicks just from picking on other people. I stated my opinion, and even said so.

So? If a lot of people decide to create an evil SG called “The LowLevel BadGuys who Like to Trash HighLvl GoodGuys” with the sole purpose of taking down high lvl heroes, they still are going to need a good number of them to do it. Of course, the high lvl hero just need to find 1 or 2 friends of the same level as he is to completely obliterate the low levels.

Anyway, I really do that scaling is the way to go, especially if we take in account the Bases Raids… If we keep the actual CON system, base raids are going to be a contest between what SG have the more lvl 50 heroes… Not my idea of fun, actually.
