I have played many many many mmos and by now I can safely say the most fun I have EVER had in PvP was a very old game that Im sure most of you have never played.
It was Lineage 1.
The PvP style was the best.
Basically there is a karma system.
The Karma goes from -32767 to +32767.
Everyone starts out a 0 Karma.
Lawful - The +32767 would mean you are "Lawful". If you were "Lawful" you would have a Blue name along with some benefits when you are purchasing items from general good merchants. Things would be discounted, your Luck of item drops would increase and well your name would be dark Blue. The way you would get to the Lawful state is by killing Mobs. Each Mob would give you about 4 to 15 karma points in the + range.
As you progress into the + Lawful state your name would go from White to Dark blue, In different ranges of color of the blue.
Chaotic - Now the opposite spectrum would be -32767, This would mean you are "Chaotic".
Chaotic Players are usually the "PKers", or they would use certain spells, that if your in the "Chaotic" Spectrum, It would do more damage to Mobs or players.
The Debuffs: Every time a player would PK Another player they would get a certain -Karma value. The more people they killed the deeper chaotic they would go. Or the deeper Karmatic value they would accumulate.
If you were "Chaotic" You have the probability of dropping equipped, and non equipped items in your inventory. Many chaotic players would often carry alot of candles or items of no value to lower their chances of not dropped any equipped items.
Once you have killed 1 Person if you are Full Lawful, you would immediately go to Chaotic of about -6,000 Karma. Your name would become red, and any player can come after you for your loot, or you can take them on and defend your self and go into further Chaotic.
Most people who have become chaotic would stay with their guild, or a secluded area to work off their karmatic value back to 0.
Another debuff of being Chaotic is that guards would try to kill you on site within a few hours of your PK.
This was the best PvP mechanic system I have ever had the privilege to play and it would be amazing if Tera had something similar to this.
