New PK System flaw?

Author Content Date
So, whilst hunting away with a few other people at Hoarde, Tongskie rocks up, looking to PK I presume. He then realises he is about 40 levels too high to attack ~lvl 50/60 chars.

As if by magic Tongskie multi boxes his other char Sven in and begins to attack with Tongskie off screen. So instead of just letting ourselves be killed by a similar leveled char we attack back.

At this point he switches clients and is now able to hit us with a lvl 100+ because we tried to defend ourselves.

Now I'm all for PVP but this is just blatant abuse of a game mechanic to grieff noobs.

Effectively roll over and play dead when he is blatantly abusing a flawed game mechanic? As stated previously I love PVP, sadly that is not what this is.

Essentially its like paying 50k per half hour to hunt whilst continually getting grieffed by lvl 100+?

If Sven had turned up alone I would still have probably died, but I would have had a fighting chance to "PVP" I use the term loosely here.

Yea I'm on your side ofc. Just glad it's finally being adressed, but they can only go so far.
At least we have that in for now though, it's great to know that this grieffing is finally being addressed.
I think it will get tinkered with yet a little though.
The great thing about this server is the support. This will ofc get noticed and can help iron out flaws with the feedback.

This has been around for a while now, this isn’t a new “bug” or “flaw”. It’s been around for months.
