In other words, while I don't want to discourage solo PvP myself either: Is it really -right- that a single person can easily bypass a city's defenses if he's a known outlaw? As fun as it has been to be that person in the past, the answer to that should be no.
First of all, let's not get rid of something that is fun just because it may break realism.
Second of all, I've always thought that GM PCs were sort of legendary figures in the SK world, so for me, the deadliest GM PCs could totally kick down the gate to a city without breaking realism. I mean, come on, imagine Knightlord Turon walking up with his entourage to fight some assortment of lowly gate guards. Or Ealuriel. These are the big baddies in the world that everyone has heard of because of their battle prowess. There's no way cities would just have natural defenses that could repel mofos like that easily. And don't get me started on what Rorey would do against a perfectly realistic city defense.
