I voted to leave it untouched. Sure there's a hell of a lot of people with 100ap these days, because there is really no incentive to actually do anything in these circumstances. In the past if there was something going on, such as a guild war for instance, people who walk around with their 100ap had no problem losing it. Times have changed though, the hit detection is weak, so there is just no reason to PK.

If there's people "abusing" the AP system, then simply only raise AP while in PK levels and while you're unpaused. I personally agree that 100apers should be able to be hit by NPCs, but apparently there's a lot of distaste for that within the staff team and it doesn't entirely make sense anyway. Oh well.

There was no need. If you want the truth:- I could hardly understand what you were talking about. The way you type is seriously messed up, I'm not even trying to insult you. It's, like, this, and, it's, confusing.

Also how you expect me to take this seriously is really beyond me.

no.
The question is not whether if I am able to do the same atrocious acts; it's the fact that it's wrong since it's lame is what i'm trying to get at.
It's also unfair on those that don't do it.

I forgot, why was the AP System re-introduced again?
To cure the problem of laming.
Now tell me, how is this loophole in the system which makes it possible to lame - not losing its original objectives?
How can you justify this hypocrisy?

I still say 'Bring Back PK Tags' should be an option on that list.

You keep saying it's a loophole as if there's zero penalty to the person who is doing it. They have to stop PKing for a few hours to regain saint so obviously there is a penalty, even if you choose to not view it as one.

I get the feeling a lot of you don't remember or weren't around for PK tags. Here's a quick run down of what they were.

Regardless of your AP once you killed somebody you instantly hit zero AP, got a nice little (Player Killer) tag, couldn't heal. The tag lasted about 30 minutes, but this timer could be adjusted. Once your timer was up your AP went back to what it was before the tag(Prevents killing somebody and running to regain AP).

You can adjust the timer on it, cap hearts at 5 while tagged, make people PKable in non-PK zones with the tag, whatever. Not sure it'll be entirely doable since I'm not sure you can make two people with the same tag be able to hit each other though if it's doable in another way I'd love it. PK tags were fun.

Best part is when people see others with PK tags they of course go after them, getting a tag themselves, then others go for them getting tags, usually a chain reaction.
