Yes i do think so, in fact i KNOW some PKers add low levels to friends list for such purpose as they have told me they do, also my post was only a suggestion in the thread, so there is really no need to undermine it saying it's ridiculous, unless of course you are one of the players that actually server hop to kill low levels, maybe also make it so a level 45 cannot PK 5-10 levels below ( this applying to all levels too) to make a fairer playing field,
I server hop to kill everyone in TA, especially gatherers. I'm preventing exploitative gather rate. If they remove 2x gather rate, no more exploiters. In the first place, they added 2x gathering rate in TA to LURE people to gather, so they can be PKed. Same with Plasma Lord. If people still haven't figured it out yet... The reason 1st place goes to whoever taunts him last is because HCS is encouraging people to kill each other to get better loots before PL dies.
And PKers will use "/who realm" command in TA. Doesn't even make sense to add low levels to friends lists just to "find" them.
It's the low levels who add PKers as friends to get the "friend is online" message. As a PKer, I just use /who realm every minute.
And I'm saying that the notion that a PKer who PKs in a PK zone should be considered an exploit is ridiculous. Not when 80% of the gatherers I've asked said that gathering was worth it even after they get PKed.
Anyways, this is going off-topic. If people really are trading or paying to get more kills, they should be reported. But people normally roaming around killing everyone, who is avoiding him, is obviously not "paying" for kills.
