Killing non combatants is what gets you hunted and debuffed until you either log out or die enough times to remove your corruption. So there risk for the reward. It's just that the rewards are greater. No one ever said the two had to be equal. You are a treasure trove of information, I like that my stats aren't nerfed what is my reward for killing bounty hunters? It seems that currently there are none.

At max size, it appears guilds will be around 300. And yeah, you can try to PK with power in numbers, but once you are corrupt, any group of high max level players, with guild buffs, and not corrupt, will be able to kill your debuffed ass easily. However against bounty hunters, said debuffs don't apply. Therefore if you're a mob, revenge will most likely be from regular green players (who don't have to be lowe level noobs. They can be max level raiders with guilds and alliances). And when they do take you out, say goodbye to a lot of your gear. Gonna be hard killing anyone if you don't have your weapons to do so with. Oh and you can't enter any town cause guards will wreck your shit on sight. With that said, if you and Kivek wanna roleplay edgelord PKers from second phase WoW, you can absolutely do so. The game allows for it, even if with consequences, and it'll be up to other players on your server to band together against you. Certainly makes for a good story in your own server's microcosm.

It just goes to show how little you know about us and the game, our guild will fill up our own alliance. any group of high max level players will not be able to kill us easily lol, Good Luck. There wont be anything you can do except meet us in equal power which is unlikely you will be apart of anything capable. Seems like you know much about corruption just be the way you talk about how red gear drops. Would have to be a significant amount of corruption for "a lot of your gear" to drop. Its an increasing percentage drop the more corruption thats earned. My players wont have to worry about losing their gear as I will easily replace it for them. Too bad you are in EU otherwise i'd tell you to COME GET SOME.

Its the other way around buddy. It's time to wake up.

Nah man, the guild will be at full force when the game gets close to launch, the current member count is irrelevant. I'm playing goalie trying to keep all these carebears from joining us lmao, otherwise we would be at 200+ so soon. I could accept every carebear that approaches us like Aurora does but i'd end up with a bunch of shitty PvP'ers and thats not what i want lol. Gotta have the right people.
