Not trying to be critical, but this is really not classic at all. I distinctly recall telling a friend to watch his stamina so that in the event that he needs to run for the zoneline, he can jump to stay ahead of the mob. More than once I fled the killing fields of North Qeynos, Fippy hot on my heels, jumping all the way to the guards.
Now, there really is no point (as OP stated). Your going to get hit, even with SoW in some cases (low level caster), so unless you think youve got enough health to make it to zone, you might as well pick a safe place to die. The motivation behind increasing run speed leads me to believe that there may be a grudge against kiters. Or, possibly it was an effort to take out people leading a train into another group of players (they die in the process). Whatever the motivation is, however, its definitely not classic.
