Pointing to unbalance was what I though one of the above posters was doing.
And how much does fun, fun with friends, a hardcore character, some nice legit gear cost? It all comes down to begruding anothers fun/time. He cost you time/fun we have seen this side, but your opinions obviously begrudge his fun. Who's time/fun is more important. What right have you to say your is?
Now you could argue that yours is because he would not get his fun at all without someone to pick on. Yet he could argue his is because there are many means for you to truly prevent him from ever attempting his. He could argue his is because it teaches caution. He could argue his because maybee its his only means of fun and you have tons of means of fun. Tons of possibilities.
Turn the other cheek can mean a few diffrent things here:
Make another game with no care to restrictions.
If he wanted gold give him gold.
If he wanted a cheap thrill tell him of the next game you make so he can get one
If he wanted to just kill a much lower character ask him if he'll wait while you powerlevel one to char lvl 9
But all I meant was to show him that you don't really care what he does, and if thats how he gets his kicks so be it, it won't cause you stress.
Personally I've only been PK'ed twice, both times I just wanted to see if that lvl 19 character could actually take out my lvl 43.
Now Lane,
I didn't say that we should reward ppl for bad behavior but there are tons of ways you can deal with bad behavior:
PKer is allowed to PK to his hearts desire, he comes to think that its morally and socially okay to do these things in real life. Tries to use said practices in real life and one day ends up getting himself shot. (Purify by pain method)
Pker is allowed to PK to his hearts desire, he does it so much that it quickly becomes boring, goes on to become President.
Pker is stopped from PKing. He could never quite get enough and one day his tendencies get the better of him and he manages to hurt someone in real life.
PK the PKer, Loses good char/items goes on to hate PKers, goes on to be one of those stuck up ppl who think they are better then everyone, while not really understanding why you never hurt others in the first place.
PK the PKer, Loses good char/items, goes on to have a life time shattering revalation. Donates his time to helping needy, donates his body parts after death to science.
Now the two best options out of the ones I came up with are the second and last. One is letting him just to continue and the other is show him what exactly he is doing to other ppl.
Lets say there are three broad types of ppl in the world:
Ones who want everything for themselves, will do anything to get it in the easiest fashion possible.
Ones who want the best for themselves, but are not willing to do anything that would be harmful of others getting the best for themselves.
Ones who want to help everyone to the best of their abilities so that everyone can benifit.
I personally am one of the middle ppl I don't want to work for others but don't want to steal or cheat to get ahead either. I think most of us are these type of ppl...
Now where the hell was I going with all this.
Well in my opinion you guys are being narrow. You have your perfect reasons why your right, and so do they.
