Actually, I have to agree with Grallon. Your point is well taken about RP'in an evil char.
However, I do remember that the mobs shadow would summon were used to PK Arbiters that were
out of range. They used to be able to rescue mobs that lower arbies were fighting as well
as charming aggros, leaving them at Cabal enterances, and wacking the Cabal guardians. Of
course, when defenders showed up they met either a dragon or some other aggro. The Imms
rightly stopped this behavior, and I see no difference between it and Zor's actions. As for
trying to justify his actions by saying that he was probably followed around waiting to loot
Zor's corpses doesn't hold water either. I was slayed by Rhavin for killing out of PK a
little shit that kept dispersing us in the middle of a battle. It was explained to me that
just because another player is a pain in the ass, doesn't give me the right to kill out of
PK. IMHO, it is just a cheap rationalization to say it is part of RP'in. I was wrong then
to do what I did and Zor is wrong now for what he did.
