Stopping someone from intentionally making you corrupted

So im loving the idea of the corrupted system and the mercenaries and all that but there is one thing im somewhat concerned about, How are you planning to prevent people suicide diving into attacks/spells to forcefully make you corrupted.
Example, im out farming idk, wolves and im doing a channel ability and in the last second another player that has intentionally put themselves on low hp jumps infront of my attack, essentially killing themselves to corrupt me. Im unaware if this has been discussed before but it seems like a pretty large loophole

    You have to target a player first for corruption to happen

    The dead do not squabble as this land’s rulers do. The dead have no desires, petty jealousies or ambitions. A world of the dead is a world at peace

    I guess it might be a possibility if it was an action AoE skill though in a unique zone type. Still incredibly unlikely as I doubt it will be a big enough issue even if people did do that. Sounds like a hilarious horror movie though.

    There is a key modifier, like alt, that when pressed and you use your ability, it will target non-combatants. If you don't press that key down when casting abilities, it will be impossible for the person to try to suicide to it.

    Accidental corrupting can occur by unintentional pressing of wrong key combinations but likely very, very rare.

    "A" for auto-attack.

    In L2 days, I had Nostromo pad with hotkeys configured for pvp and many a time flagged when did not intend to.

    I think from memory, but could be wrong, we even accidently killed on team in the heat of the moment on occasions.
