The nerve of those jerks.
How dare they try to encourage people engage in more than just PK by giving small rewards for other behaviors that may have an impact on one aspect that people are already motivated to engage in.
Imms know players really enjoy the PK aspect (for the most part). They also know most of us will try and work any system in place to gain an advantage in that area.
Players made it clear what things they want by way of rewards. Things that make them stronger in PK generally dominates that.
So how do you blame Imms for using that information to try and drive certain behavior in the game by the PB? Moreover, can you blame them for not incentivizing people to engage in something they'll do anyway, when they know if you incentivize it, people tend to just stretch RP for the sake of gaming that system.
The removal of any edge points for anything related to PK helps make PK to more likely be relevant to actual RP.
I'd honestly favor the removal of all edges, just so it would put an end to the incessant bitching about every aspect of the system that exists.
Leave obs/exp xp in place though, and up the values 5X. That way I can rank to hero without spam killing the same mobs 90X.
