Red vs Red, but both are bounty hunters

What happens when there's red on red violence, but both reds are also bounty hunters?

    I don't think you can flag as BH when you are corrupted.

    Supposedly, activating the Pathinding skill activates the bounty hunter.

    Anyway, why shouldn't a corrupted kill other corrupted?

    I imagine corrupted will kill each other. I'm not certain the debuffs would apply either. In some circumstances corrupted will work together which I look forward to.

    IIRC, a red who dies to a red does not loose corruption like they would if they die to a purple or green, or am I not remembering that correctly?

    I think that's to stop the buddy loophole yeah.

    Idk, why shouldn't lose corruption points?
    I think he should lose corruption points, since there's all the death penalties going on, gear damage and even gear loss.

    Even if people want to go red and red just to clear corruption, they should be able to so, otherwise people will simply bring a friend or alt and do it anyway.

    See? The flagging and corruption systems are silly, unnatural rules that bring loophole gymnastics.

    For one who moans Bounty Hunters are useless, you sure want to make a ton of changes to nerf Bounty Hunters more.

    Uh? From where that come from?
    That was pretty random and completely far from what I desire.

    If you let corrupted shed corruption from a red kill all the bands of bandits will just kill each other and give items back rather than fighting a posse of Bounty Hunters.

    Whats the difference between cleansing the corruption of one alt and then letting him cleanse all other reds?

    Do you realize now the big failure the system is? I wish it was a good system, but this boat is going to sink.

    The optimal game play is not dying at all and remain grouped to fight off all opponents. Death penalties are x4 fir corrupted. Better to kill pve and turn green again.

    No system can be perfect because there are winners and losers.

    The main point of red on red action not reducing corruption is making things as inconvenient as possible.
    - An alt can help out a red player but for that you have to spend time on leveling and gearing up an alt.
    - Or a friend can help you out but you have to find someone trustworthy who would return your stuff back to you with no benefit to themselves from helping you out.
