Its just not realistic.
when me and my group of at least 1 other person kill someone, they typically say "pff, come pvp me alone noob"
I then say "no. res."
the popular concepts of "fair" and "honorable" mean nothing to me =[
so in regard to your running away really fast stratagy, sure you can run from me, but can you run from 5 people all after you at once?
things become much different.

Let me tell you a lil story:
Was in Seige one time (at band camp) and had about 7 or 9 dudes from 1 guild all chasing me around the grounds in front of that castle. I ran from 1 end to the other and strung them out like a string of pearls as they all had different running speeds.
I stopped and picked off the first 2 to arrive, took off again and looped aroud so fast that i ended up chasing up behind the slowest of that remaining string of attackers. I picked off 3 more before they realised that I was actually now chasing THEM
Again: in BG I was in a on-going battle with a very good Zerk and a hunter and a Mage. I did the same thing. I did battle a bit and got the feel of how strong they were and took off and waited till the first arived and picked him off, took off and repeat and rinse. Battle finished and won.
I repeated this scenario with those same 3 dudes afterwards, cause they wanted to kill me and the only way was to get near me which is hard if i got space to run. I made sure i fought them in open ground cause thats where i led them.
I can use the speed advantage to make a 3 or more on one into a multiple 1 on 1 and win. It's like any Aikido Master will tell you: Against multiple attackers, you take them on one at a time, and move so they get in each other's way, and You move in such a way so they must attack 1 at a time.
PS: My summoner has been stunned against multiple attackers many times and survived the stun to run and play.
In an enclosed room situation - yes, very different. I still think a good Summoner can Tank at high levels and I look foward to the day a Scion stamps.
BTW - The speed advantage works in reverse as well. I have had dude try to run FROM me once they realise they have no chance. Not gonna happen. 350+ MS is possible for a summoner at high level.
PS: Just checked a spreadsheet I did on the subject, and it seems Summoner can achieve 391 with the right gear/build. Hard though.
