There's a difference between PVP and PK, if the person fights back it's PvP, when someone at cap level hangs out in a beginner area killing lowbies is PKing. There's an absolute 0 chance of doing anything about it.

There's one thing when someone around my level trying to kill me I'll just fight back, but when someone is high enough to one shot me the moment I step outside of town every single time without any repercussion is something different altogether.

Penalties exist to keep people in check, It's like you know, real life? You can still kill people but you'll have to accept the price. I get that you get your jollies from killing lowbies cause you simply get your fudge packed by anyone your level. But, nothing comes without their consequences, it's a good life lesson that kids need to learn.

I see some penalties more as a reward, it also adds to excitement. Like if the pker drop gear, it's a reward for head hunters. If you're the one pking it makes you feel like a fugitive, you run, you run for dear life when multiple people come after you, it gets really exciting, your heart race you giggle in joy and disbelief when you survive somehow. I know I've been there several times.

It's nothing to do with restriction, it makes you THINK before you act.

I totally agree with you here, could not have said it better.

Also agree.

For one thing, Outlaws should be attacked by lawful NPCs until their flag wears off.

Tbh I think that there should be no timer on the outlaw system. I believe that while you have infamy, you should stay red until you have grinded that infamy off.

Also I personally hated seeing red people running around town using NPC's. I feel that when someone makes the decision to become an outlaw, they forfeit certain rights. They should be respawning at a safe zone outside of town and should not be allowed back in (guards) until they have "repented of their sins", eg grinded that red off.

Finally, I do not agree with having penalties, eg debuffs, for PK'ing. I think that if a person decides to play that way, then they should be allowed to. However I do believe that there should be some kind of reward for killing a pk'er. Maybe something like them having a chance to drop their crystals or glyphs (equiped or non-equiped) rather than them getting destroyed. These can then be used or sold for a gold ammount. They become quite valuable later in the game so it may be a good counter to the issue.
