Could be due to:
1: Ubers, some players tend to not have time/able to complete most of the ubers and in this mod some of the rewards can be very very very good, thus making PVP unbalanced if up against someone who has been able to get these items/charms.
2: With all the end game content there hasn't been a huge amount of people pvping in previous versions (to my knowledge)
3: The different GS servers make pvp pretty difficult unless you're pvping with people who will only being playing on the same GS as you.

I think you're misremembering.

I distinctly remember a lot of whining about dueling balance in D2, both during classic (WW barbs, guided arrow bowazons, and frozen orb sorcs ruled dueling and other specs were far behind) as well as LOD, where bva barbs, smiters, and hdins pretty much obliterated whole rooms at will. Glitch FC Java zons to a smaller extent until everyone equipped their lightning absorb gear and safely ignored them.

People would essentially duel until one of those specs showed up and then the complaining would start, and people would sit in town or leave the game. Enigma runeword shook things up a bit but the balance of power was basically the same.

Trying to balance hot garbage d2 PvP is a huge commitment and it would require quite a lot of time and extensive testing, it's not worth the time and effort for the time being IMO.

No one is asking for a fully fleshed out and perfectly balanced PvP arena game mode or whatever, just the ability to hostile other players (perhaps consentual if concern over abuse is what made it go away in the first place). Some of us actually like to casually duel in Median regardless of balance.

There is no such thing as a perfectly balanced game. People will always complain about balance, and are already doing so even with complete absence of PvP.
