Game Balance - especially Fighting

Greetings!

Today I had some fights with wanderer. It have been my first pvp-fights and I have to say fighting is totally unbalanced. I mean I couln't hit wanderer one time when he had his shield on. Wanderer killed some of the younger Illarions again and again and I as well as together with others couldn't kill him. The only effective way to kill someone is fields - 10 or more on 1 single field. This results in a Pushing vs Lag combat which is all but fun.
OK, wanderer has a decent parry skill, mine is not that bad either so we are attacking each others and noone gets hurt. But at least if someone else joins my fight - meaning 2 people attacking him - there should be some blood. I assume that someone with a skill that is only a bit higher (or more strenght/dexterity) could kill everyone and be unstobable - even by a group of players. So I suggest increasing the inflicted dmg if more than one player attacks another. This is even more realistic I think. Noone can block 2 or 3 swordhits at the same time....
Second thing is about skills too. Is it true that there is a maximum number of skillpoints and you can't go beyond that? If so, I think I have already reached it and I don't like the idea that I will never be able to kill people like wanderer.
Talking of skills, couln't you make the demons and rotworms harder? There is no difference between the beholder/dskels/spider cave and the demon cave. If you survive in one you will in the other too. This is annoying as demons are normally the hardest monsters in the game. Moreover this explains the gap betwenn the trolls/skels and the next hardest monsters. People are actually forced to train with each other since they won't get better skills by fighting skells but aren't able to go in one of the 2 caves.
Removing the possibility of making more than 1 magic field in one place would also improve the demons' strength since it can be killed very easy that way.
Außerdem wett ich einen 100er (schillinge!, das entspricht 10 Illarionbarren) , dass unser lieber Mörder aus Schweden kommt, 8 jahre alt ist und nebenbei tibia spielt :))

thx for you attention,
