A reply to you both.
MEAT: hmmm, was unaware that the 10 second timer was client side, glad to hear the details (have not been playing for about 7 months) and was about to wander out onto bnet HC this weekend.
CLIENT SIDE?? WTF WAS BLIZZ THINKING!!!!!!
Wyrm: Your PoV is understood, I have had a few chars PK'd in pubbies. What I found was: if you stay pretty alert and look hard at the folks who come into and out of the game environment, you can avoid being PK'd. The cost is, to be trughful, some inconvenience. However, since it is your hardcore char, and you are dealing with the public, some of whom are as you describe, a bit of wariness is required. That is the RoE.
Retreating cedes to the pinheads the "victory" of having run all the nice people "out of town." Do we really want to allow them that?
