Hi,
Well, there might be a few reasons that you haven't gotten any replies.
For one, this community largely dates back to games where 'PKer' and 'wanker' were pretty much synonymous. Thus, many of us have avoided PK as best as we can and have no valid opinions on the subject -- just a prejudice against it.
For a second, the game is far from finished (but not, I fear, from shipping). Any details (such as how many characters of what levels levels (and, presumably, classes and (possibly) races) (I really have to quit using LISP :) ) can pick on whom and still be 'fair' are probably too far from completion to tell. Besides, as strategies evolve, the whole equation may be thrown off.
And third, what difference does it make? This is a MMOG. You can set up your own ethics and live by them. But if you run into somebody that doesn't give a damn about your concepts of fair play, what are you going to do? Start a new game?
I suspect that a combination of these factors are why you have no responses yet. And may not get any for quite a while.
