This rule was from times when you could summon aggro mobs.
And now it is gone. But there are still ways to kill out PK in game.
Like one what was the case of all this trouble.
Like summoning mage-mob, attacking it in hope it would cast area-spells what would hit others.
Like summoning/conjuring mobs what normaly not agressive but would be aggresive to this char (like guards to criminal/angels to necro).
Etc...
So now it is all perfectly legal (to game rules) ?
Basically I dislike the idea when one person can lead another into mob-death without second one directly attacking mob.
Special guards are exception.
Could you please give me some guidelines...
