While I love PK'ing, I believe it has its place and purpose, but not in the Diablo world. A ten-second timer is too long to PK someone, so you might as well have a mutual agreement hostile button for dueling purposes.
The way I honestly feel games should be made are more like Hellfire's THE DARK, where melee and missile shots will hurt your allies, so you have to work togeather as a team because in nightmare and hell difficulties, you WILL DIE without help. This of course is pointless with diablo 2 for numerous reasons, the top two being multishot-like abilities that will kill everyone in the area of effect and the fact that any character can blow through hell as easy as they could wash their hands.
One other point I'd like to make is that violence is "not allowed" in city limits, which is why the protective barriers around the city prevent "evil" monsters from entering it (except briefly in the 1.04 patch in act 2), so dosent it make sense that you COULD NOT declair hostility in town, but ONLY out of town from a role-playing perspective? I don't know, just thought of that now :D .
