Corruption suggestion

Hello guys I just came up with this idea about corruption let me know what you think. As far as I know corruption works by penalizing ppl that murder others as a means to discourage them. As we all know there are ppl who just enjoy griefing others just for the sake of it. What I propose is that the death penalty the murdered person suffers is determined by the gear/lvl disparity between the two. For example if someone kills someone 1lvl lower, the killed person will suffer less xp debt and %material loss compared to if they were the same lvl capping at 0 death penalty if the murderer is 3-5lvls higher(numbers can be adjusted).same way if the murderer is same lvl but with higher grade gear capping at again 0 death penalty for the murdered guy if they have let’s say 2 grades gear deference(for example rare vs epic). This system would greatly discourage griefers in my opinion what do you guys think?

    Extra corruption for attacking down is supposed to be a thing.

    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    I know that but u probably didn’t understand what I was suggesting. I propose for the killED player to receive less penalty or none at all if there is deference in lvl/gear.

    Doubt it would. Griefers get their fun from the process itself. It's rarely about the loot or reward and more about "heh, I fucked that guy over".

    And victims would still be displaced and would have their gameplay flow broken. Also, considering how hard some mobs can be for a casual/newbie player - they would be losing just as much in a death to the mob as they do in a death to a PKer.

    So if your suggestion was implemented, we'd simply go back to mob training (though not like we've left it still).
