Corruption system abuses ?

While waiting for alpha2 my mind is wondering about the corruption system ...

It feel like it can go wrong in both ways : for the griefed and for the non-griefer. The corruption is applied if a combatant kill a non-combatant:
- The combatant can harass the non-combatant (always leaving him low life, preventing him from playing)
- Some guilds/people might use this system to their advantage: bring non-combatant to threat other guilds of getting corrupted if they want to contest or other tricks

It's the good old debate: Is it better to have an innocent person in prison than a guilty one free?

It feels like this kind of system will be very tricky since people will try to abuse it. Does this kind of system exists in other mmorpg ? How did it go ?

So it's always a mystery what's gonna happen.

It's all irrelevant information anyway.

If I'm attacked I fight back until either I'm dead or they are.

In an RPG, characters should be completely separate rather than suffer account-wide consequences.

I think it's okay if we can unlock "Account-wide" Cosmetics like for Example Items connected to Armor-Classes, like in World of Warcraft.

But maybe we should have them " locked by Level " in Ashes, so that someone who is basically a Level 1 Beggar (lol) doesn't look like a Maxlevel Hunter, Knight, Mage, etc. You catch what i mean.
