I will agree never to do this even if it is done to me and mine - but I will also be reporting anyone I see doing it, from now on. The only way it will stop is if the GM's become involved and lay down the law. OR even better if they would for once and all make it impossible to do at all, by properly coding their pvp rulesets.

In the words of a close friend and ally: "I've learned this much - someone else always 'did it first'".

Be it cliffing, agro-dragging, targeting afk players, spawn killing, or trash-talking, those words apply.

It's on each of us to agree never to do it, and stand by that... regardless of who else "did it first".

Whats wrong with killing afk players? Apart from the dishonorable line of thought - anything else?

ok, back to topic. Personally I think its very low to spawn kill players. No matter the reason. If you even cannot behave with just a tiny bit of honour to those you have just killed, you are quite pathetic.
(And that includes the people who do it 'because the other side did it')

Nothing at all, maybe the buzz that you were so cool you nuked someone, You were so l33t you pwned them g00d!!11111. I cannot seriously get my head round the concept that ANYONE would or could be proud of such an action. It's like picking on the handicapped kid at school, kicking someone who has gone down when you arent involved in the fight.

How anyone can even attempt to justify such an action is beyond me. To actually try and shift the blame to Nevrax and the game mechanics is even worse! YOU JUST DONT DO THOSE TYPE OF THINGS. Thats it, no inbetween, no discussion, no justification, no ethics, morals etc.

If you do, then you deserve everything that comes your way, to be shunned and shamed as if you did the same irl.

It happens if we let it happen, so lets not let it happen. Nevrax don't need to fix this, we fix it. Real easy real simple............

no it cant. if they choose to have pvp tags on then they are accepting a state of play whereby they must expect to be killed from time to time. wether it be with pvp tags or pvp zones. if youre daft enough to go afk in one then its your problem if youre killed no one elses. ive had this damn argument about pvp and griefing before - and its total rubbish. if youre going to pvp youre going to die from time to time. if you wanna go afk port to a safe place like a gh or an apartment or a safe zone. hide in the bath houses in pyr if u must - i dont really care. just dont whinge when you get killed!

*Imagines having to wade through numerous naked Matis in zombielike state, wearing nothing but leaves, hogging the safe zone around the Yrkanis Karavan Altar in case Fas would show up, just so she can buy another pact.*

You' re right, it wouldn' t be really harassment in that case, but I sure will be using the Kami Altar for Yrkanis from now on! (or wear heavy armor)
