The lack of respect for new players.

[DR.]

Nah, that was nasty, shame on you, Woody...

But from practical point of view: if you add a level requirement to use tomes then the runs when only men standing are low levels will wipe despite 4 tomes on ground. Same with barrels: who will set them to save the run when the cades are falling and only high level players are busy with shielding?

Eg Ek can be picked up by all i think Mjolnir you need 26 Strength if that how it works.
All im saying give it some difficulty like 5 or whatever so trollers cant just go on a server straight away and do what they do.

I don't see this as a problem of adding this as more runs have been rounded by red shirts then won by toming/barreling.
Maybe leave normal cades the same but walls put the same as tomes/barrels.
