Do you see my name on the PK list? No. Name one person on the 11-21 PK list who went on to accomplish anything even remotely impressive after rank 21. It's not a goal I had in any way, shape, or form. I'd never experienced it before, and was a bit surprised at how low the cutoff is, is all. I ranked up to 13 solo, practiced a bit, and had not a single PK until yesterday. If it's possible to reach the point where you auto-die in 4 or so hours of play, something is wrong... the formula should be modified to reflect other variables, like time spent at a given rank and so forth. And I can only think of one person who I killed twice, and with reason at that. There's a big difference between someone who goes on a killing spree for a day or two and an Erikki-style PKer who sits at 16 and bashes everyone in sight for weeks on end without any semblance of intent to level up or contribute anything else to the game. Next time I play a sphere Death follower of Vilhazarog, I'll be sure to kill fewer people... ...until I hit level 26 that is. Bleh.
