Seriously though.
The No-PK system is actually very good, you're probably just not familiar with it yet. It's very hard for somebody that isn't actively chasing you to take advantage of the 5 second window. If somebody else wants to try and kill you then they need to stand outside the level and shoot into it, which makes it easy to just walk to the other side of the town hall, or behind a table or something and you're safe, but usually by the time they realise you're vulnerable and they leave the level you're already No-PK again.

There's the thing though. Both advantages are toward the steroid enhanced highroller. I don't even need to be actively chased. It's an instantaneous trip to the hospital. And trust me, 5 seconds is a LONG time. Especially when the chaser already is PK enabled while I'm trying to go to the gun shop just to buy a damn crowbar.
"...people need to get better"- Better doesn't mean Lightweight potion + Speed boosting coffee and a 1 million dollar gun.

Yeah but you made it seem like stray bullets were getting you killed, which isn't the case. Somebody needs to be actively chasing you and trying to kill you, in which case, why would you go shopping with a killer hot on your tail?

I agree that some guns have pretty unbalanced stats, but I still think that if you don't want to be killed then it's very easy to just run away. Run in circles around a building until the person chasing you gets bored, etc.

If you wanna do an experiment I'll get Godzilla to lend you his BAR and some Cappuccinos and then I'll run around the GMAP for 30 minutes, and if you can kill me one on one I'll paypal you $20.

Surviving is easy. Fighting back is hard, which is all up to gun balance.

No, I gave a hypothetical where I was flagged just for getting hit by a stray bullet which alerted a nearby vulture to fly right in. No space to run from that point on. I /was/ in the safe zone which wasn't safe for me.

Then the other hypothetical involved me going out of unstick to go shopping. In that case, I had no choice to run because I was dead by the time I even changed directions. Running in circles doesn't work... Trust me, I'm damn good at juking rushing PKers. That was my specialty. But not ones that are jacked up on coffee and Lightness. The thing is that I'm not given a chance to defend myself because I go from 101 to 0 in 1.5 seconds. Run, fight, juke, whatever.

I'll take you up on that bet if you give me a Lightness potion for the experiment, though.
