Great changes. The safety of hollow mode was to much in DS with almost no drawbacks. The first time I played through the game, I went full hollow because I didn't know how it worked, it was sad that I never got to experience invasions on my first play through.

If you played the game in the first two weeks, then that sucks. If you played any time after that, all you missed was being ganked by ridiculously over-geared players every time you dared touch Humanity. PvP is fine, but rampant ganking pretty much fucked Dark Souls' online aspect.

I still play the game a ton, and always play through as human now. I can defend my self just fine from 'gankers', but that has a lot to do with my experience with the game, I could see new players being ganked a ton.

I'm curious how you can defend yourself against twinks at low levels during a normal play-through. Typical early game weapons barely scratch twinks with fully upgraded armor, while a twink'd weapon can literally one-hit-kill you when you're wearing un-upgraded early game armor.

Do you just rely on twinks being significantly worse at the game than you? And hope they don't have an endless supply of humanity?

Oh ya, there are certain situations where you can't win, no doubt about that, but I can often cheese enough back stabs or push them off a ledge or quickly summon some help.
