If you find yourself constantly being pked take a look at when, how, where it's happening. Anywhere close to galadon is prime hunting grounds. The first places pkers look are galadon,Inn and eastern road.
If you're not there you've escaped about 60% of the pkers. Tar Valon is another place to avoid for low levels. The white tower is a death trap far as I'm concerned. Most of the pkers I travelled with were lazy and didn't really care to look further than the commonly travelled places. They'd check the eastern road area, cabal hqs, and a quick look at the battlefield in the past. If they didn't find anyone we'd finally go gain xp.
The truly scary pkers are the ones who take the time to find you, study your movements then prep themselves and hunt you. There's always going to be a whole hoard of ridiculously poor roleplayers whose cumulative IQ is the same size as the amount of letters used in their most common comeback of f*(k off. Just shrug them off, grab new armor, become paranoid while travelling to and from places and eventually you'll outrank them and leave them behind. Very few pkers make the hero ranks and those that do for the most part at least have an idea of what roleplaying is. The few that don't you just deal with. Kinda like going to school. You start out in gradeschool/highschool with idiots all over the place. Move on to college and most of them disappear. There are a few, but overall they're not too bad. Move on to graduate school and there are fewer, though often more devious, idiots. Overall though if pkers are making your time at CF frustrating, figure out if it's worth playing because afterall it's supposed to be fun and relaxing.
