Fact: If you are a newbie who just started, just got their first platinum and then gets killed by a pker, you don't want to play anymore.

You can't get killed that easily in pmode, so most of these "owners" don't bother.

Fact: If you get scammed when you are a newbie, you just stop playing that server.

On the other hand, newbies usually don't have event items, i.e. they can more easily get their stuff back by crafting it anew - still I see your point, and I think at least there should be a warning incorporated to the first tasks - maybe even an NPC scamming you.

Fact: Battle systems which allow other players to come kill the monsters you've been fighting are bad. In addition, the current battle system (which is non-existant really) is kind of drab. Turn-based and stronger party-based systems would be more enjoyable, as they would allow team participation and friends to help out friends.

I'd love such a system, even though I don't think turn-based would work for Graal. Better party-system would be very good an idea. I cannot think of a good way to keep players from kill-stealing though - weak players can decide to leave a lord to a stronger one as they can't kill it, and stronger ones can weaken them for weak players. I don't think there's a proper system to reflect that... Maybe it could be made so whoever hits a monster gets an amount of exp equal to the damage they dealt... it wouldn't prevent ksing, but lower the loss.
