No one will suicide charge you with TNT usually they don't have time to get like 20 gold before you can make it also the issue i'm addressing is people staying at their base with bows and forcing a stalemate. but without bows stacked players will be able to do nothing to defend themselves without actually having to engage you in combat. so no players sitting in there base for half an hour gathering resources after breaking their bridge, the issue isn't the 1 on 1's its the inability to reach players due to them keeping the game going by not letting people even attack.1. Not exactly just because noone has bows means you can free run across a bridge if you cant hot with range theyll most likely suicide bomb you either with tnt or try to hit you off,
2.epearls are a thing in case you didnt notice
3. In op mode its not bows that are the problem its armour
