While one or two kills against greens won't affect much (I've heard) if you continue to murder green players your 'punishment' will become more severe. The 'punishments' don't apply against Bounty Hunters though. You will probably prefer to fight Bounty Hunters than green players with stacked buffs where you will have no chance.

Getting a bounty on you shouldn’t just be a punishment, but it should make you have to worry about (and perhaps enjoy) getting attacked. Like all great PvP systems there needs to be risk and reward, the hunted needs an incentive be be logged in and to stay alive, the hunters need incentives ($, fame) to look for targets worthy of their skill and time. For a hunted, killing a hunter should mean something. Also, there should be an increasing value to the hunted’s reward the longer they stay alive.

It’s one of the negative consequences of taking the actions that gave you corruption. Going by your logic, we should also give rewards for dying too. That way people can enjoy it. Otherwise dying might upset people too much and they’ll log off and not play. There should be a risk/reward to dying.

As mentioned, the state of Corrupted is designed to be a less enjoyable state ("supposed to suck"). "If you gain corruption, which is killing a non-combatant - a player who is not fighting back basically - if you gain that corruption, your world has changed. It is not going to be a very beneficial place to be and you have the potential of losing your gear. Your combat efficacy decreases based on the amount of corruption you accrue."https://ashesofcreation.wiki/Corruption
