What do you guys think about draining qp from pks that aren't clan war related? Maybe a maximum of 200 qp per pk, depending on if the char you killed had that much...? I know that only getting 4-5 for the kill is weeeaaaak! Twisted Evil

I've said before that I don't really want that kind of mud, but if enough people ask for it then I might consider some sort of middle ground.

I think the number of qps Avs recieve from a non-war pk should be upped at least a bit. Once you get to the Av level, it can get difficult to pin down pks before your opponents flee, and for this reason killing PC's is usually a lot harder than taking down a high level mob.

On a somewhat related note, what about also bringing back the 5 item loot limit? I never really got why that was taken out in the first place.

Yeah, looting has gotten a bit out of hand. I think the loot limit was an IC law that was supposed to be upheld by PCs... so if someone looted more no one could really do anything about it other than go after the person who looted more than 5 items...

That is indeed the case, as per http://www.abandonedcodex.net/highlights/law_order.html.
It used to be a taboo, but then because a few people were allowed to get away with it it became the norm. It's up to you guys to make it taboo again.

Yeah, but see, I don't think qps should be the motivation behind pkilling.

Actually, the higher up avs who have dloyaled all their eq really don't have a problem with it. It's the non/new avs who haven't dloyaled all their eq that have a prob with it. Maybe the old idea of only being able to dloyal a few things would help make it more taboo.

Would also make the idea of allowing your friends to kill you for qp much more attractive, which is not beneficial.
