Changes to the Stormrage Guild system

[LochnarITB]

I understand that PKing is a hot button issue and that your focus was on that. My intention was to point out that my take on the Lurker stance was turnabout was not fair play, in reference to the last words of that quote.

I do not need to play on a PvP server to understand what is being said. If it was my choice to play on a PvP server, I would do many of the things mentioned here, in the spirit of PvP. I would participate in raids. I would battle over resources. I would defend areas critical to quest completion. What I would not do is take a high level character out hunting low levels of the other side, even if they were in a known KoS guild. By saying "turnabout is fair play", that's what I see being advocated. Perhaps that is what you are saying but I just can't see that as being fun.

You also run into one other problem, defining a "known" KoS guild. Will someone create a blacklist somewhere saying such and such guilds are officially KoS and hunting season is open? Will they wear a KoS on their guild tag to indicate their status? What happens when one sees an incident of extreme imbalance? Do they then start hunting that guild until they are informed they are not KoS and that it was just one bad apple (or even a misinterpretation of what was seen to trigger the hunt)? By opening the door to the possibility, you do set the need for some definition. The simplest way to do that would be to have said blacklist and state a no holds barred policy for those guilds.
